Am I the only one that likes the 3 gauge set up then? I'm just immature and think they look cool haha! :D

Noooooooooo!!!! Phew! Give the powers that be a quick kiss from me ;)

You wot?

I haven't got anything planned for January yet so should be good for whenever.

I can safely say I've never seen that one on my travels around Sheff. I like it. The wheels in particular are !Removed! great! I'm even a fan of the paint - not something I'd have personally but I can appreciate it and do think it looks nice. I really, really do not like the tail lights though. Apart from those though, I'm a fan.

If I remember rightly there was a P1 on Scoobynet being sold not long ago for around £13k which had exactly that done. Looked like they'd done a great job of it too.

Looks Fugly! Such a shame. Still, there's the STi version to be properly revealed yet. Hopefully that will look more like the concept. But then again thinking back to the spied version I doubt it :(

Awesome! Thanks for sharing mate. Just about the 2 door thing, that's still one of the things that makes me regret not getting a Classic Type R instead of the Blobeye. Much prefer 2 doors to 4. Plus being older and lighter its bound to be a more entertaining drive. But the age put me off, still wonder if I made the right decision even now... If I hadn't spent so much on the Blob already I'd probably look at trading. To be honest I think ill end up replacing the Blob for one in the future lol.

My old current ones are 18x7.5 so the existing tyres could probably stretch that half inch. However the fronts are getting pretty tired anyway and are frightening on anything but bone dry Tarmac. Not sure whether to go for all weather tyres or keep a winter set on my current and go for dry only street tyres on my new set. Just trying to decide whether to keep them for winter or sell to get some money back. I'll be refurbing my current set in gold for this time of year if I do keep them, I know that much. Those Team Dynamic ones aren't mint so don't need to worry about keeping them in brand new condition.

Just picked up a set of these beauties. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 alloys in black :D 18x8 et45 Can't wait to get some tyres and get them fitted! Speaking of which, what size and type would you guys recommend? Also thinking of waiting until winter is over until I get them on. Not sure I'm that patient though haha!

That's only because Martin is based in a pretty shady area of Sheff - full of druggies, prostitutes and worst of all the odd Gambits ;) so cops are always out around there. Never normally see the fuckers usually. Hence why my van has even broken into twice in the last 6 months and nothing gets done about it!

Lol had this problem before too. Took a couple of hours getting one off on one of my old cars. That was thanks to the idiots at the garage cross threading it all the way with the gun though & jamming it. Wankers. Had to get a whole new set of locknuts since they were that messed up.

Haha I know what you're saying. Still gives me a bit more piece of mind though ;). And some kind of hindrance - no matter how small - is better than nothing.

I was hoping that was the case. Awesome! Think ill be ordering myself a set of these then :) Thanks guys, helpful as always!

Soz, I know this is the wrong place but I still can't access the wheels section of the forum for some reason... Anyway, I'm picking up some gloss black alloys this weekend (Tease :D) and after some new blue wheel nut to go with them when I eventually get them fitted. Looking at these ones in particular: http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=314_315&products_id=2720 My only concern is security. There's no locking nuts with these and after a quick search I can't find any that would match these in blue either. Now on their site it mentions "Added security - key required for wheel removal", forgive my ignorance but is that just the key that comes with the set? Because they look to me like you could use any correctly sized socket on them - that key just prevents you damaging the wheel when installing/removing. Anybody got a set of these-or similar who could shine some light on them for me please and maybe put my security fears at rest?

Haha you could park all of the cars in the world on that runway! & have space to spare

Screw the car park. We'll need the runways at 7000+ cars.

I'm actually the same. I'm never normally bothered when a celebrity dies, but I was actually gutted about this. Maybe it's because he's one of the first actors who I've near enough grown up with watching that's died which makes the difference... That meet/cruise sounds a great idea. Doesn have a location now though by looks of it - too big for their original location. Ill be interested to see where they go. Going to try and join it depending where.m

Was gutted when I heard this. The F&F films are a great guilty pleasure of mine. 5 & 6 are especially great fun to watch and !Removed! good action films in their own right IMO. Won't be the same without him. From everything I've seen and read he seemed to be a genuine petrol head too. R.I.P. At least he had fun and enjoyed himself and he'll have done more in his short time than the equivalent of 10 other people's entire 80+ lives.

Argh! All those gauge links, pics, vids and info have gone :( Luckily I did bookmark some of it though

I've done that before on one of my old cars and never got them to re-seal properly so don't fancy doing it again. They kept getting condensation in after. So I'm looking to get some already done or just buy another regular set to do it to so if I have problems again I've still got a spare :).

Was great meeting you guys last night. Weather held out and was a good group! Hopefully it'll keep growing. I ended up going for a couple of drinks with some mates after too, I'm knackered this morning.

I think we need just as many pics documenting that as your engine build too ;)

Yep thrat's the one, just turn left after seeing the mcD. Theres a massive Toys R Us there too. Can't miss it. Edit - beaten to it. Ill be there this time. Managed to get home at a reasonable time :)
