    i was thinking more about the damage my condition may cause to your shoes which could cause the loss of my security deposit.

    The brogues are a deceptive paddock choice, the footwear of the hustler giving nothing away about his intent :thumbup:

    Unfortunately this can all go wrong in wet conditions, and an unscrubbled pair can result in a coefficient of friction less than Wing Wong ditchfinders, resulting in a cool paddock swagger turning into ar3e over tit, or a pedal slip and a missed braking point [8(]

    Jay, those are lace up, have you learnt to tie your own laces or is Mrs Burni going on the Ring trip with you?

    I didnt forget. Its just that mine arrived and were sized large compard to my other trainers, so sent them back for an exchange. Good to know they are super uber light though.

    I'll also weigh mine when they arrive, as i have hobbit feet and they are sure to come in at around 500g. :lol:

    Just found these in a cardboard box that has lain unopened since we came to Ireland 12 years ago.

    These are from the late 1970s.

    802 gms.

    I have a plan for future CGTI Curborough events based on footwear.

    After the first run any driver with a time of 1min 30sec+ is allowed footwear of their choice, for example

    Or

    However drivers with a sub 1min 30sec time will have to wear these-

    Similar to the BTCC balast system
