Jim 1 Posted June 12, 2003 One immaculate motor Roddy.. really is a superb example. But maybe because I am so used to 'ordinary' cars now but damn your car looks exceptionally low.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jill_g60 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Take the nice'n'low storm down to kames. I should have my car ready by then. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggrim 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Anyone up for meeting myself and joe m at the service station on the M74 on the way to Kames? We had a 2 car convoy (not really a convoy then) on the way to biggar and there is talk of another local joining us for the drive over. I know you guys are coming all the way from the 'deen but if you gave us an eta we could all possibly meet up. Just a thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggrim 0 Posted June 12, 2003 forgot to say nice looking car aswell. Saw it at biggar and thought it was sweet. Will be much better now it's lowered. I envy your clean looking storm interior... my seats are rubbish looking but I'm gonna try and clean them up. Keep either myself of joe posted about meeting up.

If I've got 15" wheels on, and then put 17" wheels on, my car will be no lower, but the distance from the arch to the wheel rim will be smaller 'cos the tyre profile will be smaller and the wheel larger! The distance to the wheel CENTRE will not have changed though... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
