Congratulations on the car are pending #4!

Re 22" alloys with 7 seat - I've been told this isn't officially possible or recommended by my dealer (think you'll see you can't option them). You may know this since you mentioned Putting them on 'after' however, but there may be ramifications with warranty or other technical issues?

Can anyone clear that up?

I personally would love the 22"s on mine but haven't due to the above guidance. MY15.5 Fuji White, SDV8 HSE Dyn Stealth Pack
Gone: MY14 Fuji White, 3.0 TDV6 SE
Gone: MY10 Stornoway Grey, 3.0 TDV6

The way I read it is if you load the car fully you might have a problem with the tyres . But I have had 22" wheels on heaveyier cars with no issue . The new car will never get overloaded as it only gets used for the school run and the 6/7 seats will only get used on the odd acation that the family go out together , even then there is only 6 of us , all slim build , some slimmer than others .

You've got to love the breakaway Devonian spelling and grammar! Mark

Well, I was slightly bemused by the spellings of "heavier" and "occasion". Snob? Probably not. Educated? Certainly.

Mind you, I was interested to meet the owner of a Porsche 911 turbo recently who, it transpired, could not read. I only realised this when he held his menu upside down. Mark

Oh dear Mark, you are a snob like me now! You have been branded by the Snob Police.

I hope you are proud of your car because ambivalence about your RRS will make you a double snob (snob snob). Once fkarim brands you as well you will be a fkarim snob snob and things just don't get much worse than that. It has quite spoiled my weekend, my wife has been wondering why I have been so depressed. Even so, I would rather be a snob than a Dill (Aussie slang that people from Blighty won't understand)

So, next time, I suggest that you be a little more punctilious before you so cruelly suggest that Devonians are less educated.

On my computer and my iPad, there is a funny dotted red line which shows words which need a spelling correction, i find it easy to use and I highly recommend it.

Hi all , just catching up on old posts . I do have a problem with spelling and grammar , dyslexia , I'm very good at counting but spelling is sometimes a bit hit and miss , I know when a word has been spelt wrongly but I don't know how to correct it .
As for education , I was educated at a private school as a day boy . I have run my own business for years and been very successful . I think this is the first time in 42 years that my spelling has been an issue and subject to negative comments.
I'm going to cheer myself up by looking at my bank account and have a walk around my grounds before eating one of the kids Easter eggs .
All the beast . Fletcher.

My original comment was said tongue-in-cheek... No need to be defensive!  Mark

Only playing mark . ( all the beast )

Both my kids and wife have severe Dyslexia so I know where you are coming from Fletcher

Hi Fletcher
Perfect takedown - love your style - don't care whether people can spell or form correct grammar on here - for me it is all about the love of cares (sic).

Many thanks guys
