Running in before Le Mans

[Frenchda]

Is going to be painful! Just collected from str8six and have 6 days before oil change and the off. If you see a blue Tuscan (with shadow chrome wheels, sorry Macey ) going very slowly, that'll be me!

[wackojacko]

I'll keep an eye open as you're about 3 miles from me...... I'm heading out this Monday.

Was it a cracked block in the end ?



Jacko.

Hi Frenchda,
I will have to keep my plans to myself in future. Congrats on getting it back in time for your trip, will have to see if I like the colour of your wheels before getting mine done.

Cracked block and broken bank account

Ouch...

[Ozmira]

Any pics of the wheels then? Plus how was the service you recieved from str8 six?

[Frenchda]

Service from Str86 superb as usual, would have no issues about recommending them. Pics up tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure x 7usc uses STR8 six for his Tuscan.

My Chimaera goes there for health checks. great place.

Shadow Chrome ala Macey

Good to see it back in action. The wheels look pretty good!
My mk2 is up with str8six at the mo for a few niggles to be sorted, although having spoken to them this morning, they're working flat out getting the T440 ready for Goodwood at the weekend!

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you

Will have to see if I can come up with another colour for when I get my wheels re-furbished. Would not want our cars to be the same now would we.
Must admit they do look superb on a Blue Tuscan

[Frenchda]

Go the same mate, we can have a very exclusive "Blue Tuscan, Shadow Chrome" Club, unlike the masses in the BTC now!!!

[jonesy]

it still doesn't look as good as if it were in red!!

Good to hear you are back on the road, better plan another BTC meet soon then....?

while you were at it, did you get RR injectors and other RR bits fitted?

Hey Danny glad see you back on the right albeit a several ££'s lighter I imagine. Alloys look great!

I've got a strange request...

As you know I'm picking up my new toy next week and am toying with shadow chrome wheels. At some point in the future could I swap a wheel with you to see how it looks on a black Cerb? Not something I'll be doing for a while but would just like to see what it looks like - I'll lend you my std Tuscan cans again if you need them ;-) and maybe throw in a nice cold beer whilst we stand scratching our chins and deciding if it works or not
