Undoubtedly it's the cupholder mod. Everything else is just posturing.

Definitely! Sadly waxoyl doesn't work on its own - in most cases you need to apply it using a time machine :(

God I remember when 3 spokes where THE wheels to have - for about 5 minutes in the early 90's Max Power magazine had them on about every feature car - think they were superseded by the equally horrid TSW Venom :puke:

Some good comments !

Mmm 3 spokes - the perfect wheels for a yellow vauxhall Carlton !

Club sport rack sounds interesting. What's the ratio of them compared to a 325is ?

Bab have you got the seats now?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
