can anyone recommend anywhere to refurb wheels, preferably in Manchester?

NSX everytime (with Acura badges on, just to confuse people)

I think they made only around 500 roadgoing versions. it was pretty much the first purpose built homologated rally car. Designed by Marcello Gandini of Lambo Muira, Countach and Diablo fame....so there's a 300ZX link in there :D

the thing is Graham, what were you looking for to have found that?

looks gorgeous mate, know how long you've been waiting to get them on.

that you actually own a Poopra and only dreamt of the Zed?

you're really Bird in disguise?

I think the law should be if you don't wear a seatbelt your airbag won't go off. that should weed the morons out of the gene pool.

just noticed the guy has one of the BMW 'Batmobile' CSLs in the garage too!

that's the Toyota 2000GT you're thinking of Si, Toyota built a couple of convertibles especially for 'You only live twice' very expensive collectors cars now. think they were 2 or 3 times the price of a Jag E type at the time.

hmmmm....rock solid reliability

you're best of phoning the insurance companies as one 17yr olds quote will be differenct to another 17yr olds.

love the 50ron fuel discription

the petrol pump logo on top of the fuel gauge lights up when fuel is low

Pete any tickets left?

it even has a metal bonnet stay doesn't it lol

is that the 1:18 scale model? £20 is a bargain for one of them. I've seen them regularly go for £50 plus on ebay.

I didn't want a Supra..........

chewie mate, I think she's p*ssed at you for looking at the wrong ass....although if you have to drive a Volvo behind your missus to see her ass..... :nelson:

I've spent about £5.5k total incl buying the car. I guess I'm lucky I don't have the urge to mod it to high heaven and like the car pretty much as is. The next service & MOT will probably cost me a couple of hundred and probably a bit more to get some paintwork touched up and alloys refurbed.

ah, a fan of the Homer Simpson physique then? :p

see my sig :D I use either as and when I feel like it as both struggles to get more than 20mpg around town anyhow so doesn't make too much difference in fuel costs.

on modern Mercs, rust is probably the biggest issue. It CL is not a sports car though, more a 2 door S class.
