I will preface this by saying it may come across as a bit "my diamond shoes are too tight", but it is what it is. sounds a bit like dogs on strings to me  |

So maybe it'll stay stock. And I can pour more money in to the Datsun... That sounds a much better idea and anyway if and when you should ever come to sell the Porsche its Original spec dear buyer...  |

I was looking for an old photo last night and came across a set of pics that reminded me of perhaps the craziest ride I think I have ever had on London streets. Good times.  |

I found the same with wheels.
I was looking out for some Lorinser wheels for my S124, in either a 16 or 17” format. Jesus, they are pricey! Apparently, some Chinese copy wheels exist but they are not cheap either.
I have noticed tyres have got a lot more expensive. For my motorbike, they have gone up around £40 each. I haven’t dared to check on my M3.
But I may pour the cash into the M3 instead, which was my intention. The one thing with keeping a car for so Long is that you know where you stand with the car. Yes, it will require cash but it seems most stuff being sold will do as well anyway, and if you like a car you’ve had for a while, there is always more of a bond with it.

The wheel situation is crazy, used to be all sorts of cool stuff for reasonable money but unless you drop lucky on somebody's bad spelling or similar everything is silly money. In other news this just popped up on Insta, not quite the Motorvation one on Fuchs but proper proper cool. http://instagram.com/p/CnjYO5tt8Gg |

Just scrapped a car which if I'd tried harder/cared more about, i could have put back on the road. As I've learnt in the past, three cars is too much for me.

I've been putting events in the calendar in the hope of getting to some of them.
Other than that, working.
I bought varifocal glasses and thus far I think I significantly regret the purchase
MOT'd the Fiesta, it failed. Not badly, but meh.

Basically, he was buying a few Golfs Mk2, to try and buy the 'ultimate' Golf Mk2. Questionably, he has. I'll say more later on today. |
