After my e89 got dragged away as a total loss drowned rat i realised i still had my summer wheels in the garage and won’t be needing them anymore. Fresh from a refurb in gun metal/anthracite last year they’re still in unmarked condition, 8.5j front & 9.5j rear with 25mm offsets they sit...

My refinished wheels needed a little fettling before they would bolt back on, had a nice sunny afternoon to mess around painting the disc hubs to complete the job. Always helps to use some smooth studs to help the wheels slide on without clanking on the calipers etc. Rob

After a little messing around I’ve got most of my Veemans back on Rob

Just collected my wheels from the powder coating guy, very pleased with the finish/colour i chose. Tyres fitted tomorrow. Rob

Since moving to Somerset I’ve enjoyed the different pace of life here, I’ve also enjoyed being a parish councillor for the last couple of years. Terms are normally 4 years but seeing as i was co-opted halfway through a full term its time to sign up again. I originally just registered an interest...

I span my z4 this morning, many times! But it was ok because i was driving around the Thruxton skidpan :) Went with a mate from the village in his Honda s2000 & found it great fun with loads of opposite lock and uncontrollable spinning :lol: Rob

Another MOT test passed today at my local garage, this car’s been very good since purchased 5 years ago, apart from the cracking 326 wheels debacle it’s only cost me routine maintenance (the engine will probably fall out now I’ve said that) :lol: Recommended :thumbsup: Rob

My neighbours had a party yesterday & this turned up, what a stunning design 8) Rob
