	. So today I spent some time outside, it was 3.5’C Yes, I know there are colder places in the world, but there are also warmer places. First I removed everything that did not belong to the Galaxy, from it. Rolled up the bloody heavy rubber mat that was on the floor.it will go into the S10 truck Ed. The I vacuum cleaned it, wiped every surface and cleaned it all with various products. Then unpacked the rear seats from storage, removing their wrappings and refitted them all. Various configuration available of course. Inside front cleaned up nicely. On 17 November we were here. And of course where we stand now. So once I remove the personal plate, it will be put to the market. I still have the lowering springs as well as the set of Mercedes Benz wheels and new tyres to move on. But it’s bedtime now. .

	Wheels. A very personal choice. I am still in two minds, both are my minds and opinions about the Cragar wheels currently fitted to the truck. They are 17’s and need to be cleaned for me to really form an opinion, the whole truck needs a decent valet to get it up to scratch. It comes with a full lowering setup, so the wheel arch gaps on the 17’s can be closed in, tyre sidewalls are 45 profile, and possibly could be increased a bit to change the illusion. The ride on the 17’s as they are is actually really comfortable, unlike some low profile setups. As it stands. What’s in the bag, well, loadbed. I saw these wheels a few times before on S10 trucks and like them, they are 15’s with a 65 profile. www.need-a-wheel.com/rim-shop/15-chevy-s10-wheels-oem-silver-5028/?v=3e8d115eb4b3 Available to me. I think that they would look good on the truck, and allow it to function as well as the Cragars. Same seller also has an original steering wheel available at sensible money. Complete with connectors and cancellation gubbins as they would be removed when the sports steering was fitted in the past. I am also hoping to find someone breaking a 2000-2002 model S10 Blazer for the front grille, which is actually chrome. Could look good. .

	So the Galaxy is going up for sale and I wanted to retain the license plate for the truck. Tried the online transfer and got an error message. So called and got to a virtual chat They cannot tell me why this registration is non transferable. Any Ideas? I on;y noted after the system declined my request, that the V5c shows it as Non Transferab;e. If nothing else, I just want to understand why it is declined. Human error on the input side at some point? Thanks guys.

	That’s a fairly bog standard cheapo “cherished” number. Normally it’d be straightforward to transfer off, I’ve never known one in that format to be non transferable; especially as it must have been transferred onto the car in the first place. The only thing I can think of beyond computer input error is that maybe the owner who did the original transfer requested it be made non transferable, which seems madness really. Nice though it might be to keep the number, it’s not special enough to warrant any mucking about with IMHO, just let it go with the wagon. You can get another for as little as £250 from here: link

	As an aside, the number GRZ300 is lot number 878 in the next DVLA auction on the 13th January, and the bidding starts at £100...

I think there may have been input error.

Does very little for me. The S18CHV is a lot more interesting. Especially put in two lines and screwed with.

	I don’t often give opinions on other folks threads, as I feel that the owners vision for the vehicle is what is most important. However, I think the 15” alloys will suit the Ute much better than the Cragars. Back to my cave to observe...

I had not planned on replacing the Galaxy, but when my lustful check list came up with 9/10 points ticked off, when 8/10 would have done, it had to be Game On. I am not at all badge bothered. But some badges suit certain parts of my psyche, like a Chevy Truck. And yes, I am looking forward to it getting here, if the country is not in tier 22 by Saturday.

	A massive YES vote to the OEM steering wheel from me, if your time and budget allows. I for one have never understood folk who remove a steering wheel with an airbag to replace it with one lacking the same safety feature...hopefully you'll be able to reconnect it properly as I imagined it's currently bypassed with resistors and the like?

	That truck appears so much larger than the galaxy? Will it be possible to back it up down your drive without problems?
