Slicks on my Bay

[angus]

:lol: - looking at the weekend it occurred to me that the van has exactly the same size wheels/tyres as some of our caterham ones..... :twisted:

This means these beauties:

...on my 68 Bay... :shock: :wink:

Ok, so I'll be honest - they'd wear out in about 3 corners on the van, but the not entirely stupid idea is that for the purposes of moving the van up from Somerset, they'd do fine, as I have a few lying around - the tyres currently on the van are a good few years old and perishing.
However - the real reason is that it will lower the ride height by a couple of inches - enough to ensure that the van will certainly fit in the garage we have lined up for her - it would have been about 50mm clearance but this should make it much more....

Still - it will make for some cool pictures..... :roll:

(I know they aren't slicks - but if anyone is interested they are Yoko A048's - pretty cheap, sexy tyres - quite soft. Toyo R888 is rapidly taking more of the market, if anyone is interested in a good value, sticky tyre!!)

That wouldn't be Angus from Angus and Tessa fame, must be you with a Blue Caterham and a Bay.

Graham here (aka Bacon Butty) just bought a 1970 Bay, LH drive Westfalia Tintop, see Gallery for pics.

Family commitments mean its a bay over a Caterham these days but I'm not complaining

Love the idea of a bus on A048'rs, would be good for the run down the strip at Santa Pod :twisted: :twisted:

Wah hey!! Hello mate - I just saw you over on KamperChat (thread about lowering!) I saw you mention hill climbing and sprinting a Caterham, and your location, and figured it must be you! Was just about to post on that thread and tell them what spoilers on the Porsche were for (cooling!!) and how low profile tyres worked (because they really haven't got a clue!!) but had to pop out - just got back in.
Good to see you here - have a look at our van

Had it way before the Caterham, and will never sell! Good move 'ol chap!

I have to say the thread about lowering on Kamperchat got a little out of hand with some people quoting utter rubbish, for a moment I thought I was on Blatchat all over again :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't see you post much on BC these days :?: but then come to think of it neither do I, except to sell bits
