thats a very tidy looking Griff your set to pick up, the italian red along the with the OZ crossspokes is real nice IMO, adds a nice touch of originality

very much liking the Westie too!

Tuscan, 'Grale, 350Z, DC2 and 'Liz all get a thumbup from me as well!

They look like OZ's which are 16" on the back and 15" on the front but they are actually compomotives which are 17" on the back and 16" on the front (so the Wilwood calipers fit!!)

Thats a great collection of cars you have had, the insurance must have cost you a bomb.

Its not been to bad to be honest, nothing too horrendous. To put it in persepctive the Tuscan was the most expensive at £1300 when I was 23. Looking back I've been very lucky with both the cars and the insurance!!

350Z has now sold!
It was quicker than the Integra but the Integra was awesome to drive, it handled so so well for a FWD car, I do miss it, mine only had 27K miles on it too!

Ah hah! A Winchester lad - Olivers battery of I'm not mistaken!

A stunning collection of cars, I must say!

I remember once seeing you giving it the beans past o'Neils at the top of town in the Delta above a good few years ago, really made my day (at least, I assume it was you - not too many red integrales about!!).

Do tell me, what am I don't wrong with my life, 23 and driving a beaten up Micra! Still, after uni a whole world of infeasibly fast cars awaits, I'm sure.
