Hi all. 

New to the group. Just wanted to share my new wheels... Wondered how many of you may have owned this one in the past ??

And then you... 

 

It's a cracking car, hope it's still going well. It used to be a lot lower. 

I added the Rover 25 wheels, they really suit it.

That looks really tidy.

[HMC]

Me too. Um maybe not.

These days I’ve totally lost track.

I like R8's.

Newer alloys on older cars pretty much always looks good. Older alloys on newer cars . . . not so much.

I had considered those wheels on mine ..... they look really good indeed.

But kind of taken with hairpins too

Me!  Lovely, lovely car.

Yep. I was crazy to let it go. Should have just fitted the longer springs and kept it. And now I'm stuck with a bloody Nissan Almera.

^^ We all have this illness, although I think I have it under control.

When I bought it... 

And after I'd worked my 'magic'

I did like the lowered stance of the car then tbh but how it is now is a very good compromise.

I remember this car well - Danny lives in the next village to me.  

He's got an horrendous (actually beautiful) Proton Wira for sale at the moment.
