    Aeroflop, you really need to upgrade the wheels for the model.

    :D

    Actually, I'd prefer the other way and consider the original wheels on the car. Though the F355 wheels are not bad, so I'm not in a hurry.

    But a curious thing on the Bburago model is that they've actually taken a shortcut on the wheels. As you can see in the foto, the wheels of the model are the right way on the left side. That's why the cars are parked that way for the photo, actually. This photo, though, is from the right side of the model and voilá, the wheels are backwards:

    The rear wheels are considerably wider, but they haven't bothered to create right side wheels at all :p, lazy Italians, there.

    I just have to add one shot of dat ass:

    Yes - it is required here that the rear bumper or mudflaps hide big enough portion of the rear tires, hence the wider rear wheel setup requires either wider bumper or mudflaps.

    Our third broken tire in 2 years, synchronously our third broken Bridgestone in 2 years. While there, I decided to ensure that I have no jams on brakes or bearing to give the tyre extra stress and dug my Flir out. It's just the tire, which actually manages to warm up quite well when empty:

    Well, I knew that the tires were not exactly new and was planning to replace them probably in next summer. Seems that I'll be replacing at least the rear ones a bit earlier.

    Back from major service. GTM and Son in Greer, SC did an amazing job. Ignore my beetle next to it ;)

    Nice barn finds, Aeroflop. Wedge TVR + Ferrari 348. Not a bad barn at all.

    I had a 1988 Civic in red as well. Fun to drive. I had a 6 cyl Fiero before that and felt like I had mini van space with the Civic.

    The Civic (a 91 Si) was picked up by its new owner a day or so after I took that pic. The greenhouse and view out the front window in those cars is absolutely fantastic. Sure don't make them like that anymore. Shame.

    Thanks, the pictures don't give the whole story however, the car is pretty scruffy, despite it's 52,000 kms. It comes off the road this week for the mother of all recommissioning and very big service including all the rubber parts and valve adjustment. See you in 3 years when it's finished :D
