Generally I think the aftermarket DDs were pretty much stuffed full of options so why not?? Absolutely And making an offer can get a yes or no, simple. At £60.00 it’s cheaper than a fine, or parrot system I suspect.

	There was one of those knocking around the Internet a while back on big inch Porsche or Lambo or similiar wheels and it looked great. The tyres almost perfectly matched the arch profile. Cant seem to find a photo now. Maybe it was a Sharan.....

	why do i think about other peoples (not)projects when i'm on my commute? just thinking this morning that porker rims would fit the bill nicely...even if not the £ton budget! wouldn't say that head unit was dear...at a nice round 50 i would be very happy as long as its 100%.

I will make him an offer he can refuse. At £50.00 fetched and paying a mate to ensure fit is correct, could be good. Also seen these 07 Audi A8 rims that are a bit different. 5x112 No idea of actual size, et etc. £200.00 for four. Tyres said to be OK too.

	as long as you have the right plug/adaptor , the stereo should be a "chuck it in the hole" fit. removal kits are pence of the bay of e , i'm sure you could manage to install that rian. audi rims would look good (as long as suitably too big enough).

Checked a Google, could not see that pattern in 2007 A8 models. However, seems they ran 17, 18, 19 inch wheels on them

Exactly why I ask these questions and have discussions on here. These are a bargain, and if I could get them collected and brought closer to where I am, ie. South........ www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyres/genuine-mercedes-clk-c-class-17-inch-alloys-wheels-/1358857436 They would be pretty crisp too.

	I've had a galaxy vr6 itch for a while . the thoughts of a 205bhp mpv really appeals to me. i'm not a big fan of the rat look on modern shaped cars but I really like this one.

Weirdly, this one does pull it off. There is said to only be a few VR6 models left. I know there is a dealer in the Medway area with a cheap, around £500.00 one for sale. Reviews say they are very nice. Same consumption as the 2.3 Auto I have.

	Took a day annual leave yesterday as we lose it if we don’t use it. Spent part of the morning wrapping, packing away the rear seats of the Galaxy,. Then moved all of Prozacs “Vanness” stuff over into it, followed by putting the spare wheels, trim etc stored in the garage, back into the Berlingo, ready for sale. Eventually left and went shopping, getting a massive two arm lift bag pine offcuts from a shed factory for £5.00 which looked small in the empty rear of the car. Followed by food shopping and a search for 2000 wet and dry paper at two places to use on the dull headlights.no luck. Did watch this Ford Fiesta get reversed in by its elderly driver, relying on the proximity sensors....... Yup, 1.2 meters was where he stopped from the bollards. Technology has so screwed us up. Eventually made it home, dealt with some work related matters, cuppa tea and a sandwich before heading out to deal with the Galaxy headlights. Before: So halfway through light no 1 One done, one waiting. Both done. Transformation Testing Passenger side “blue light” is dead, so needs replacing. But this just shows that a small investment of time and effort can deliver big results.

	Nice to see a quick clean up transformation on this, sadly 99% of my web browsing is on work devices and your photos are blocked, currently on home pc so got lots of catching up to do. Shame I sold my polished merc monoblocks as they’d have fitted and suited this perfectly.

	Been chatting to the seller of these wheels. Lives 10 minutes from Middlesborough. So logistics of getting the £220.00 wheels down here to Kent comes into play. 3 of the Tyres are almost dead, one is dead. And they are 235 35 19’s Just wonder how they would drive in the real world. I know they will look good.

	Flashback..... 2009 Retro Rides Gathering 10 years ago. This 1963 Ford Taunus Transit was a great car. Pity I sold it. Yesterday was the “Start of the festive season” in Chatham. Sally and I had gone to get some stuff bought, not planning to get caught up in this silliness, but of course I had to grab a few pics too. Random for sure. Leaders of the parade. I find this sort of thing absolutely cringeworthy, but hey.... someone won’t Horses were beautiful The weirdest combination of characters From Chatham, over to Maidstone in the Galaxy to see mate Kevin for a cuppa, plan was to help switch his T6 summer wheels to the winter wheels. I wanted to try his wheels on the Galaxy too, but rain put an end to that plan. Later on we went to get a few bits at Morrison’s..... Seriously, why have a police security camera van parked at the front entrance. I seriously do not get this. Must cost money. A lot. Then we headed home, unloaded the rear. Leaving only the roll of 5mm rubber to unroll. I suspect it will take a bit of time to settle out and flatten. Still contemplating whether I cut it to the floors shape, or just cut a few lines to have it go flat, but tuck up the sides.
