I've had a (minor) play with that pic of the Mk2's and come up with this, my current desktop.....

Sweet, I love photoshop. Even an unskilled person such as myself can make these: (posting as links as they are huge)

Last one I made shorter so that the plastic bag was taken out and I could use it for desktop :)

Well umm.. progress has been slow! Mainly due to mine and my girlfriend's daily drivers both having MOT's within a week of each other - that was fun(!). So now they've all got 12mths ticket and the weather isn't totally crap, I'm back on the 360 again. Third Leo painted up today, will get the fourth painted later on this week and hopefully get a set of tyres on Saturday. A little worried about a kink in one of the rims but hopefully it'll balance out.

We fitted a Hella grille (well Chris_C and Rupert did)... at Chesh's meet a couple of months ago, here's how the car's looking at the National BKV in Warwickshire.

Not sure who took the second one, found it on Flickr! I'd just done a deal with Jay to get a nice fresh uncut parcel shelf in the right colour :) Apparently I came third in class - IMO the competition was tough, the two 340's next to it were superbly clean. I'd have to raise the bar next year with preparation. :lol: (If I can be bothered!)

As usual I came up with the theory - I just leave it to lesser mortals to execute the plan...

A step to Leo's is coming together, a set of Khumo's ordered in 185/60/14 - £170 fitted. Could be worse, two for the S70 cost nearly that :lol: (My next daily driver will have 15's!!!)

16s are alright too. The 17s can be a bit painful. I just got a pair of Eagle F1 Asymmetrics fitted to the two Comet alloys I've just had refurbed...£92 each, plus £12 fitting :shock: Cracking tyres, though...

It's getting quite hard to get quality 13s in the right size. I think I'm going for some mid-range Toyos...sadly none of my "usual suspect" tyres are available in the appropriate sizes.

cheers
