What happened to the VXR8 wheels you had on there?

They're in the garage. They looked great on the car, but are so so heavy (and obviously the Monaro is not designed for them). I won't go as far as saying they ruined the ride/handling, but they had a good go at it. Most of my fun driving is on twisty, winding A/B roads- I imagine if one used their car solely on motorways/dual carriageways, they wouldn't notice smile

Is that just up the road from Peggy's?

Best worst meat and potato pies in the world. Awful by every measurable criteria, but if you have to have one, nothing less will do.

Sometimes I miss my hometown. Sniff.

No idea- it's on the one way system on Compston Road. You can't beat a meat and tattie pie, regardless of how rubbish it is biggrin

willie you got the time off now to go ? smile

mike did you notice a big difference with driving the car with the vxr8 wheels on to the monaro wheels ?

with the phonecall I got last week, might not need to be going to the Scotland meet with just my pair of reeboks to do the run with wink
