I feel it's time for a new coffee table.
Description
Nice - glass top?
Been hankering after making a V8 engine block one myself, but the V8 blocks seem a tad dear to me.

The regs say 13" for F1
I just thought they were bigger.
They look bigger on my telly. I'll have to turn the little wheel that adjusts the size.

They just look bigger due to the massive tyre profile!

Years ago I bought some new tyres for my tin-top - in a corner of the garage was a stack of F1 tyres just like yours. Talked about them to the tyre
man and he said "try picking one up" - it was surprisingly light, considering how big it was. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised,
considering how F1 teams were always trying to reduce weight. Before anyone says it - I know that the teams themselves have never controlled the tyre
manufacture, but I bet that they collectively hassled the companies to keep the weight down.
