Still a good plan to meet at Sainsbury. I'll be there at 1900 Friday, since I fancy getting to know some people who know lots about my car.

Grand meet last night,thanks to all that showed up.That alpine white 316i belonging to young Josh is crying out for a 'proper' motor,it is a lovely looking thing,very good find young man! New meet venue,hummm,if we could sweet talk them into giving us an area of the carpark? Everything else is pretty much there,decent beer,good food,easy to find....

Sat Apr 18, 2009 4:22 pm

Yep it was good to see people and catch up. I was very impressed to see under the bonnet of the "Folly"

Spot says hi, and thanks for not running her over.....I didn't tell her about the second steak that she missed!

Sat Apr 18, 2009 7:10 pm

Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:36 pm

Doing a grand job as guard dog for the 'folly'!
Can anyone identify those wheels for me? Best quess so far has been 'something VW'...(shudder)...

Fri Apr 24, 2009 1:13 am

Look like VW Lupo GTi wheels to me. I could well be wrong though.

Ahhh,do they have any value to the VW lot?

Sat Apr 25, 2009 1:37 pm

Depends on offset. If you're running spacers then they'll probably go straight on an old Golf or something. Lupo boys seem to run tiny wheels these days.
