Can I change my list to a top 50?

Was the 75 coupe ever built? Or was it just a concept? It's lovely. I did like the 75.

They knocked the price of the VAT off because the guys from the tyre place recommended them. It would've been £390 (including VAT) otherwise.

Not sure, I said I wasn't in a rush, I'm sure their website says they can do it in a day?

Indeed. It's important have moderators like yourself to remind people every now and then. :-)

Hi and Welcome to the site. There are often people posting parts for sale. Keep your ear to the ground and something will come up before you know it.

That Ford RS2000. Lovely car.

Congrats Ian, do you go round offering Gold Membership to those who post unknowingly about sales? I think that was only Roberts' 2nd post in 2 years . . .

Brilliant, here's hoping the franchise ensure good quality throughout all their sites. I'm happy with them so far.

Wow. I'll keep a note of that link encase I need anything. Cheers Ian.

My wheels are at the shop ready to be refurbed. I've given some photos of the before and I'll get the wheels back Wed or Thurs and you'll get the after photos. Very friendly and without my discount, it would've been £390 for 5 wheels. They showed me the finish that they'll be doing and I'm very happy. Silver with metallic sparkle. (Or sport spray apparently)

I would be very surprised if it was a floaty as a 300c It's sports suspension should ensure that it is pretty sure footed, but maybe less stiff than some other cars in its category, but hopefully you'll find out tomorrow

That is a very nice looking car.

Hi Robert. I'm sure there'll be someone looking for a set.

Thank you for your advice guys. Pricing up the tyres ready for the refurbed wheels. £486.25 for 5 tyres. HanKook Ventus Prime 2 k115. Valuetyres.co.uk cheaper than blackcircles.com.

Updated my posts with write ups.

When the new Challenger was unveiled, I thought 'I Want That!' The new Camero is really nice too.

When I was a lad, there were three main high performance cars that my mates dads had. My dad couldn't drive and my mum had an old Escort. So I always wanted to, one dayn own any one of these three cars, but to pick one, then it would be the Ford Sierra xr4i. The RSCosworth is the better car, but I loved the rear spoiler and split rear side windows of the xr4i. The other two rivals were the MG Montego Turbo and Vauxhall Cavalier SRI I don't need to give a reason. Look at it! These are my other two.

I've had a 1993 Kia Pride Panel Van and a 1999 Kia Shuma. They were both very plastic, but mechanically they were great. Nothing fancy and wouldn't challenge anyone to a race, but they did what they were meant to do. The Optima has taken the mantle that the Skoda Octavia has held for years. It's a great mid level saloon and it looks great. I also secretly like the Rio! I didn't buy an LS400 because when my corsa died I wanted an Astra diesel estate. I wanted to get something that was more fuel efficient. The corsa was doing 45 miles to the gallon . . . . My uncle told me to look at Japanese cars instead and I found the SportCross. I bought the car with my heart. It's goththe isofix points and is an estate, so it had most of the qualities I was looking for. And besides, I'm now a Lexus owner.

Kia have been turning out some very nice cars recently. But the Optima now replaces the Magentis and, like the Rio and Sportage, is very bold in its design. For however cheap the interior may be, I'd love to have this car parked outside my house. I think it's a real head turner. The Lexus that started it all. If I could find a Year 1 LS400 at a decent price, I would buy it. I think it is going to be a classic in th near future and I would love to own one. I love proper old American Cars. Yes, the Ford Thunderbird, Cadillacs, plymouths. *(drools)* Just chosing my last two. I think the Sierra xr4i is there, not the RSCosworth. And maybe another american car, possibly the new Dodge Charger over the Chevy Camero.

Hehe, yeah I did notice, I think a few people were angling towards a night away in Blackpool!

http.//www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/locations/cardiff-cwmbran/ They may have a depot in Newport, may be even close than Cwmbran. The price, I think, doesn't include VAT. So price for 5 wheels would be something like £390. (£325 for 5 wheels ((£65 per wheel)) £60 VAT)

I'm going to use a place in Cwmbran, okay, it's acoss the bridge from you, but at £65 per wheel, including Powder Coating, I thinks it's a good deal. The Wheel Specialist. Cwmbran. I think christte200 said he paid £85 per wheel wherever he went.

. . . . Just thinking. . . . I don't want to diss the wheels too much, encase he shows up on the 5th . . . . . .

Are they luminous? Do they look better at night? Why has he done it? Because he can't see them when he's driving?
