Looking gorgeous mate... Tbh it's nice to see it clean after the shitty rain at FCS, didn't show it's true greatness.

Look forward to seeing her and having a few pints with you at Trax.

(Or the night before!

)

Tell me about it, spent too much time cleaning and being a batty tbh lol
Plan at Trax is to PC the few days leading up so shes mint then clean and leave her at the hotel and possibly just dry her off at the show so shes still tidy

The night before wheey, and then one or two at the event after i come off the Track

Payney · 1st August 2007, 19:44

Good stuff Red... Can't wait to see all this work at Trax... I owe you and Ads a pint.

RedB · 1st August 2007, 19:55

Alloy Reeefurb Part 1

Here are the first few pictures and the start of a lot of work to come as my alloys are refurbed...

They started out life as a pair of Compomotive Sport "15 Alloys in silver
before they were curbed and banged around a bit before i bought the car
3 months ago

...

Since then i have kept them in fairly good nick and managed not to damage them any more, if thats possible lol, and switched the old tractor tyres with some new Toyo 45 profile rubber

Handling is better and the car sits lower to the ground now

Here are the alloys being dropped of at Owlsbury body/paintshop Mon night...

Four lovely steelies to complete the budget Euro look

Eleanor back at home fairly 'safely' lol

Part 2 coming later...Cheers Sam you are a ledgend matey

Yeah, i've asked Tracey to drive her car back down to silverstone when she comes to get me, tempted to ask her to use mine, and she can get hers back when we travel back.
