Sold to someone on here so expect them to turn up at some point in some pics! I did like them but they've been done to death.. I fancied something different and the RFX are rare as rockinghorse poo and are NLA and they came up for a song.. I couldn't resist! :)

Aaah ha ha.. Yeah it's very nice indeed!!

Thanks guys! It's nice to have a daily driver that looks how I want it! Roll on the decent weather and a bit of pod / meet / weekend at Jim's action.. :)

I'll be representing the trusty M20 for now but watch this space!

They look very similar to schimdt modern lines that i had on a G60 black Corrado.

Car looks sweet (house and drive look sweet also - loving the national trust green colour on the window surrounds !!)

With the 50mm drop on the front how do you not catch/crack the sump - have you the standard 2.5 or a different lump which explains what it does not hit - drop looks perfect)

I think mine is 40/40 on Spax and the front is a little high but I'd not drop in light of road bumps in surrey!

I'm not sure but it really doesn't catch much! Schmidt and revolution are the same company (ml1's use the same concave spoke layout) :) so that explains that!
And that's mid-Sussex at its best on a beautiful sunny day.. It's a nice place to be.. (I almost fell asleep yesterday listening to the stream that runs through the garden).. It's my long suffering better half's place :)
Yesterday our 'day together' consisted of me waxing the car for several hours (although I did take her out to make amends) she does seem to put up with my stupid cars fairly well.. (I think she secretly enjoys the old turds!)
