Weekend spent out :oops:
Coldplay at Wembley, who were good, but sadly the car project stalled !
Going to be a more careful balance of house jobs and car from here on in.
New wheels will be spot on I think :)

Not bad! I was on an outdoor pursuits weekend two hours west of Inverness. The hotel had over 310 different whiskys. Amazing place.

Tell me about it. We started decorating the lounge in January and it's still only half done.

Those wheels will fill your arches just nicely. 8)

:) Pictures of the Wheels look fab, cars going to look really 8)
Just wander what a set of deep 6's are worth ?
I'll have to take some date codes and pictures later !!
Things are getting closer now, I think wheels was the last big "Unknown" for the car, and now this is sorted. Just need to make it work now !

I know you said you need to raise the back end, but I think it's just fine. 8)
