[hazrd]

about time lol

the rims suit the car nicely

[Brazza]

welcome mate nice looking car.

+1 for the rims looking good since I have virtually identical ones :p

[ChrisMaz]

Rims look excellent mate

[chrisshiel]

cheers guys, yeh sorry i took so long.
its been constantly raining and my car was looking brown and the rims had turned mat grey/black from dust. hardly worth subjecting my camera to that horror. but sun and a wash huzzah!

yeh the p's i know :o im due for blacks but i cant see the point till my greens actually run out.

oh and 6 days till the whiteline suspension makeover.
front and rear sways + droplinks and a strut brace, cant wait.

[Shay]

done springs and shocks yet...

[Shay]

P plater! HIGH FIVES!

+ 1 by the way.
For 1 MORE MONTH...

[Brazza]

Yeah cos it's not like I was making a general statement about how cops target most P platers or anything...

[chrisshiel]

honestly i've been pulled over once in my astra for an rbt right after i left a pub with few drunken mates and i was deso. thats even with my exhaust *shrugs*
mind you i never play music so that its audible outside the car or drive with a hoody on and the gangster pose where people lean halfway over the passenger seat.
