Tire size of the M12-2?

[No Lotus]

Can Simon Hucknall or anyone from the factory tell me? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

If you're referring to the car we're about to launch, I'm afraid I'm not yet in a position to give out specific data. Naturally, when the car is unveiled, we will supply full technical data, including wheel and tyre sizes.

Just to clarify, the new car is NOT a replacement for the M12 and will sit in a class above the existing car. There will also be practically no interchangeability of components between models.

Where there's a will there's a way!!

[duplicity]

So..... that also sounds like its NOT the M14 either.....

[amg merc]

Wasn't going to bother to share yet another rumour but this seems to fit in with where this thread has gone to...

I recently heard from a senior motor industry source that there will be no M14 and that it will be launched as the M15!

I also heard from a senior motoring source that the M12-2 is actually code, and it's M12 minus 2, and hence the 12-2 means that the M10 will actually be relaunced.

I heard a rumour that M10 and M12 refer to the first bolts fitted to each frame at a Masonesque like ceremony attended by Lee and a very select group of accolytes. Therefore the rumour about an M15 can't be true because there are no M15 bolt sizes. it has to be either a 14 or a 16.

Sorry it can't be a 16 because the M16 is a big building on the south bank of the Thames. It'll have to jump a size and become the M18. Is there an M18 motorway?

I heard a rumour that if one speculates too much, ones ears can fall off!

Sure is

Interesting there is no M12 but there is a M10, so perhaps it goes Motorway, No Motorway, Motorway etc.

It's got to be the M18 then!

(although there was going to be an M16 motorway, but it got wrapped up into the M25...

I might be interested in an M18 ...just please don't tell the wife

[Mr Noble]

I'll have 2 M18's please and an M14 to keep them in check!!

Surely the M16 returned a gun too?

Justin, have you got your feet up on the desk and a cigar in hand these days??

M18 looks like a secret meeting of the dodgy trouser club to me

I wish!

I've only got this time as I'm ill at home.

Is that what you've told the rest of your team.
