The CTS looks ok in that metallic White / wheel combo. They are dirt cheap too. Bargain barge!

Congrats Melv. Like that.

FWIW, Mecalfe ran one on an Evo LTT: their car should have arrived with the Recaros and didn't. Turned out that they weren't missed anyway, declaring the stock seats to be "terrific".

He's your neighbour?! Do you live on the same Drive?

Car is amazing. Itching to drive it every chance I get (which hasn't been often enough).

As much of a riot it will be, turbo Renaultsport's aren't my thing. They are all about N/A IMO, same for the Honda Type R's.
