Elizp is your hero for parts

 

Joe, Vocky and others for mechanical stuff

 

Just be careful of the "trackers" , most have big willies..  ;)

 

This funny farm is the place to be

Hi luke, not too far up the road from you. Enjoy the sunshine in the best way possible by having a run out with the top off.

Hi Luke - Welcome

 

There's a handful of owners in the NE, but actually not had a meet for years come to think of it.

Hi and welcome. Looks peachy. However, the ATS wheels are not recomended for use on British roads. I have a set of Team Dynamics wheels that are much stronger, lighter, better looking and classier. £500 my way and we can trade wheels if you like. PM me, cheers

Thanks for the offer but I like the wheels and have a spare set of turbo alloys with tyres that came with the car if the worst happens . Will just avoid pot holes and they will be fine

Luke - I suspect he was pulling your leg. Nicol is Scottish and as such he's inheritantly tight but even worse than that he's a massive, massive, massive twat
