well they are dot approved and legal in the usa, not sure over here, they have seen better days tread depth wise but legal. just. lol They only come with 2mm of tread on them anyway! AFAIK, if the tyre is not "E" marked it is illegal to sell it for riad use in the UK. It is illegal to fit it to a raod car. It is not however illegal to drive a road car with it on. Just my understanding of the law. However if it doesn't meet Mr Plod's expectation of a legal tyre tread wise then you can be done for a baldy anyway, and thats the risk. Something about 85% width coverage at 1.8mm or something? I forget. |

the police are only gonna see the tread if ur not moving so just never stop driving it until u get home, problem solved.

Whats the steering like now? or do youtake it easy? I take it it squats a little it too with a couple dudes in.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

good plan on the keep moving, its just so obvious though, if a cop pulls up behind me, I'm totally boned. i'm not a cheeky sod when it comes to getting busted, they can see I'm not a chavvy scrote going on about
"izzit cos i is black you pulled me ova innit"
"i aint done nuffink officer pig b*stard" etc..
the times ive been pulled up before the coppers were purely doing it to look over the car, oohh wellers, yeh i used to have a set of them on my old <insert classic of choice> do they still make em? do all this yourself, looks lovely, corrr, eh, not tax, ah well its tax exempt so i'll let you off. on ya way. than sits and watches as i drive off.
from what ive heard nowadays, this is what will probably transpire:
"what you think you're playing at sonny jim, you'll be likely to kill someone with those tyres you stupid little boy, does this look like silverstone? who fitted those, I'm havin them aswell! get the tow truck and mobile crusher unit out here base.
ah well. i got a cheque for 120 quid in my glovebox ready. and some vaseline for my licence.
weirdly, the car handles so much better now its been lowered / narrowed, even though the tyres are half as wide, its no track weapon but i don't have to slow down to keep up with modern traffic in the bends.

yeh, i had it deleted as all my photobucket was redone, I'm planning with some mates of mine and my brother to do an ultimate thread of all our current cars: cressida drifting chariot (scumbag) euro mk1 polo (jay) mk1 golf cabby chrome bumpers etc (my bro) 1970 baja (not mine officer) dodge v8 minor (also not mine officer) ;-) there have been others in the past i might post up including a roof chopped consul, sil-eighty with sr20 (on ssrs, naturally), an s14 (more crazy rims and engine), g40 polo (R.I.P) another mk1 cabby, another mk1 golf (had teledials then ats), kp70 starlet, few other s13s. just realised my housemates are actually car owning sluts. cars were all slammed on their arses! rest assured the retro content will be off the scale, its a house of petrol sniffing nut jobs. Dunno what to put as the title though! hahaha itd go on for too long, i'll post em up tonight when i get their express permission and raid their hard drives for the piccies. |

er bon bon is going to be involved? that is scary, everything bon bon does is some sort of massive bodge and usually ends up breaking soon after. such as when i helped him convert his 525 to manual he didnt measure properly for the prop we went to get made up, so it ended up being held on with spring washers and a nut with about 1turn onto the thread. then he sold it haha.
cas is a good choice though, as long as he doesnt get stoned and not do anything.

you lot are feckin terrible in the dori bollicks, every story i hear involves some sort of biatchin' / bodging / raping. should all lighten up a bit, nothing wrong with a good bodge anyways, adds character. scumbag comes on here quite a bit, he's probly sittin at his desk all of 200 metres from me reading this. hope it don't cause any more friction in the lovely drift scene, where everyone seems to get along and play nice. lol
not sure if bon bon will be involved either, its pure speculation, jc was named, among others, he cudda just been talking about the mingelick flick again though, he tucks me into bed and tells me a story every night. haha

yeh there is a whole lot of bitchin and bodgin that goes on, the bodges are classic, such as after fixin bons e34 blastin down the a444 at about 120 and then settin the powersteering lines on fire cos bon rested the engine on them when we put it back in..
or jumpin a bridge near me with cas in his xr4x4 and then the next day the calipers fell off.
cas was here the other night and said he had been round the other day? i'm catchin up i've been in holland for a month pretending to work on cars.
"scumbag" did right getting away from all the Bullplop.

I've lost track of this thread now. Nice cressida, hope it doesn't get drifted into a wall or something. As for the beetle tyres, I would at least get a black marker pen and draw a few treadz on, that will keep the smokeys off your ass.
