Oh yeah. Hoshino's. Now I remember. I was wondering why I didn't recongise the filthy steels.

Its so purple. I saw a purple house and thought of barney.

Good effort man. Picked it up for a score too.

Mean score, looks actually better than I suspected in purple also. Excellently brilliant reliable motoring too, props = off the mad scale for that. The only chariot worthy of transporting guitar hero legends.

Hoshino's not really suiting it TBH, a set of Wats/Rewinds/Superlights would work very nicely on this, or something with four (4) spokes.

So agree about the x61 steels. I bought some from spence, then sold them to eliot who was selling them so you should buy them and pretend you're going to use them and then sell them on later. Would be awesome dark grey and maybe slightly wider but probably unrequired on this. You could even just flip the centres like nobumps did on his ute to get more offset without widening.

Haha yea was never intending on running the hoshinos I just threw them on for the long journey as the direzzas on them are much more stable than the narrow tyres on the steels :lol:

Had a mean scare on the desert road last night, hit a puddle/flooding at cruising speed and water was splashed everywhere an couldnt see, nearly rear ended a truck that was slowing down after hitting the same water, engine kept humming along though!

As above really. Not sure on the shade of purple but nothing new there.

Such a bargain, and Im impressed to get in a brand new car that old and drive it that far without any troubles is mean.
