What happened to the idiot that was fitting 400mm spacers?

[james_tigerwoods]

As much as I hate bringing this up - I remember a thread a while back where someone was fitting 400mm spacers on to his (I think) 106 - there were photos of the start, but it seemed to just stop...

Unfortunately, I can't find it now (neither Google nor PH search seem to be able to find it) - I'm intrigued as to how it ended*

* I suspect in a great big skip, but I'm curious....

He's probably dead

Or in the back of an Ambliwans

I don't remember this but I'm intrigued. Tell me you meant '40mm' and not 400? Nobody's that daft, surely?

No, no - I'm pretty sure it was 400mm

16" spacers.

Are you sure?

Even if the wheels were 6" wide then that would be 22"

That's one hell of a wheelarch extension.

[james_tigerwoods]

There were photos and everything

I can't seem to find it anywhere now...

[Austin.J]

Are you sure it wasn't just nothing?

[Arese]

I think the wheels fell off his plan.

Then it never happened and you're making it up.

I've done some IT pre-sales work, so it's entirely likely that this has seeped in to my real life

It's true and it's real I tells ya !

I know the car that you mean. it was a silver hatchback thingy with ridiculous size spacers on it.

[Kinky]

It was all a dream

[Martin Keene]

I've not seen the original thread, but I so hope somebody finds it!

[TotalControl]

If it can't be found then it's proof of the fact that JTW has indeed been led to being completely crazy due to the abuse he received and couldn't handle on his famous thread.

[deevlash]

I rememeber this! They werent 16'' but they were huge, no idea where the thread is though

[HD Adam]

Obviously, he was going for the Carlos Fandango look

Proof if proof were needed that it did indeed happen.

I think I've found the car and the offending owner - It was a Peugeot 106 and I'm pretty sure it was this one - but I could be wrong.

Note that I'm not just pointing fingers, but this seems to strike a chord....

Looks familiar but I am pretty sure it looked a lot worse than that pile of st.
