Sucks is I start me new job the 15th also... No car, I'll have to be borrowing to commute. tsk tsk. Cant win em all. Seeing Bill's install and first impressions wont make anything easier!
Sucks to hear that Jon, but the bright side is you've got a date. From there it's all downhill.... the wait that is. Importantly you're comfortable with the installer, that has to be a huge weight off your shoulders. Of course the 15th (or the 17th for me) can't get here quick enough.

We're getting three cars blown within a week, that ought to be a record of some sort. ??

Sorry Ray, it was a literally a last minute gig. You've got advance notice for Friday's Kings Head though.

Doh! I forgot to write your name in! Sorry George.
At least we had photographic proof that you were there.

Nice pics Jed!

Looking forward to Kings Head. Maybe I'll try that banger and mash thing this time.

And if Crissy is there, we can do a group shot with her!

You have the TB tune? No wonder why your car is so fast!

Congrats on the 5k post!

Hey David, I think Leo's playing a trick on us.
You can basically type whatever you want in the SCT Liveload program.. I'm on to you Leo!
What's wrong with 285's? Not big enough for the Taco's standards?

Thanks.
Yup that's exactly what I did.

Looks like the SC install is nearing the final stages.

Only want to say that mine is bigger than yours.

Nothing wrong with 285s, in fact, I'm fine with that if I get a better deal on them than the Toyos'. But having a choice, I'm going with the wide azz meats out back!

Finally found some detailed pics on the Shelby CS 69 wheels in chrome.

Any final thoughts about them? I'm open to all suggestions.

Didn't think I'd say this.....

I like these better than the chrome on black versions

Bling, but not too much that you gotta wear diamond teeth and some gold chains.

They look good. Not sure if I like them more or less than the black ones. I still love the overall design of the wheel.
