Might have to have a look into a set of those wheels, but I do think I'd look like a chav! hehe
i don't think your clio would look too chavy with those weels and besides it only gets chavvy when you put thwem on for all show and no go (i.e in 19" chrome form). Although on a personal level a nice set of Clio 172 Cup speedlines would look mint!

It'd better not be, otherwise I'll feel distinctly retarded! hehe
Aren't you meant to stand on your head whilst crossing your eyes and squinting at the same time....
Sounds much too much like hard work I'd rather not see the bloody thing winkbiggrin

not refering to the car merely the magic eye affair no offence intended

If I could figure out how to actually do this "Hosting" magic I'd post pics of ours. Tried it once; didn't work.

Story of my life vis a vis TEK-NOL-OGY....
If you have a Photobucket account it is very simple.....
Upload your photos to your account, then click on the IMG code, return to pistonheads, click reply then in the field for replying right click on the mouse and paste it in! Bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt...etcwink
And just to check you can preview your post!
Then hopefully this helps and we'll see some more local motors!!!yes

Surely you must have the highest mileage Atom (non-development model) out there?

I'm very jealous yes

Hasn't been on the road for nearly a year, but will be back on the road again in the next few weeks looking a lot more shiny.

Recently a stock Green MX5/Eunos with small PH sticker on the back. Picture probably not required.
Are you local to Bournemouth? I'm pretty sure I've seen/heard you around! Its a Dax Rush isn't it? Looks awesome!

Arrr, thats the one. V8 Rush that was regularly passing through Bournemouth, many moons ago. I'm planning on using it a little less for the mundane trips, in its fourth incarnation... Should reduce the chances of me or some other muppet writing it off again doing the work commute. To be honest, the rush hour traffic is just as good in the MX5.

cheers

Dave.
It was a great sight/audio experience, with a gentleman behind the wheel to bootwink
You let me out of a junction which i'd been sat at for ages... sad i know something that just really stuck with me!
