I can still see flames in the "shiney thing"  ::)

[NosFEratu]

I must say it is nice to see you made a decent attempt at your list - Alfred is quite correct in his comments about the non-slotted spare and the New Zealand Rugby Tyre  ::) He obviously does have skills to listen, retain and know not to commit specific sins!  ;)

And yes, Stinky, I also noted the flames in the shiney thing but you will note that I have refrained in the past from listing the under bonnet flames as I knew that was not a easy fix for him (and he's an old hoon at heart!) ::)

However, my dear Jack with the refresh of certain major aspects of the car over the last few years (albeit some having been commenced out of of act of flagrant disrespect) I feel it is now time for you to enjoy your car - it is finally what I believe you always wanted it to be...................

that and you're just getting too frickin' old to pick on :-*

[jack_fc]

Well, (breathes huge sigh of relief  :P) I got out of that relatively unscathed... :)

Any 'flames' seen on the shiney thingy are only reflections; it's definitely a fair dinkum ridgy didge genuine NON-FLAMEY item...
(and there's NO WAY anyone will convince me to remove the ghost flames painted under the bonnet  >:()

It should be noted that as stock HK rims have a different offset to HT/G they wont fit under the back of my car without using spacers (and that's naughty...) due to the XU1 diff; hence the use of an HT rim.
The 'NZ Rugby' tyre was used because it was in good nick, the right OD (185/80/14) to match my rear wheels, and most importantly, was already in my spare tyres department... but when I win tattslotto, I'll buy a new whiteband one. ;)

I'm also amused that the non-matching trim ring and the lack of a baby moon hubcap attracted no flack!

And I'll reluctantly accept the "you're just getting too fricken' old to pick on" but be assured that I'll definitely be filing that one away for future defence  ;D

Anyhow, I think I'll go for a cruise around now... (with the bonnet and boot shut) ;D ;D ;D

I reiterate.... you're getting too frickin' old to pick on  :P

enjoy your cruise!  ;D

Ahhh  :) it's a lovely thing....   :)

(who said respect for the elderly was dead in this modern age?  ;)  :D)

Looks like I missed out on all the fun, You know I don't think you're too old to pick on Jack ;), anyway what's wrong with shiney/flamey things :P ;D, Mate I absolutely love those wheels, I don't know if it's just the angle of the shot or what but they look shit hot, good to see the old girl resurrected better than ever after her desecration, though you had me worried when I saw the white front guards in the earlier pic.

Pedro, I dont believe for a moment that she'll never pick on me again just because of my advanced old age...  and like you I'm still not 100% certain just why the shiney flamey thing was so offensive, but I've accepted that it just was...

And is it the 'road' wheels you like, or the 'new' spare?  They're completely different, and I'm very surprised that I didn't cop serious flack because of this  :)

Mate, it's great to see ya back on the forum  :) ;D 8)

cheers, jack

Don't worry about the flack Jack...(I'm a poet & I didn't know it...lol).

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen,  ;).

Dean.

[pedro]

Definitely the road tyres Jack, the rear quarter shot on page three to be specific, I thought  the other wheel must have been off your tractor or something :P :P ;D

[jack_fc]

Geez, Kathi somewhat reluctantly accepted the 'new' spare, but you reckon it looks like a tractor tyre...   ??? :-[

(ah well, you did say I wasn't too old to pick on, so I suppose I should be happy with that...  ;D  and it's a good thing that I keep the boot closed except when getting a cool drink out of the battery box esky  ;) ;D)
