Mmm that must have been the most ive read in ages!!

Would love to do a road trip like that, but sometimes its a big risk, go all that way and might not turn out as good as you hoped it would etc etc.

Want to go to Germany to get some parts but thats toooooo far and never know might never find what im looking for.


But hey Bjourno good diary and write up..

Thank you and yes it's always a risk to take a trip like that but you just have to try it.

Who knows you'll find just what you always wanted :D

Stunning!!!!!

How long after you changed the wheels were those pics taken though, looks to be sitting rather high, i'm hoping it needs a little more time to settle otherwise i think you need to lower it a touch to get it looking even smarter! :D
