ive got far too much on my plate to get excited at the moment. my new tyres got delivered yesterday, but my rims are still here needing refurb. im going to split them tomorrow and drop them off, keeping my fingers crossed. on top of that i need to got some prices on having the interior retrimmed. its going to seem a long process. :(
