really? get a bit of touch up paint & wet & dry on them..if you have the balls that is, watching yourself rub paint off a car isnt fun thats for sure!

did you make it home alright in the end? luckily after the m1 it was straight up to law breaking speeds to get me home by about 9:30pm

not sure i'd have the balls to be honest mate

yeah got home fine in the end, m25 and m2 were relatively clear!

i worked it out, it took us 2hr 10mins to get from the Pod to the m1/m25 junction (50ish miles) and then and then 1hr 40mins to do the m25/a2/m2/a299 final stretch (roughly 100 miles)

i saw someone in a silver VW fox with alloys in the outside lane of the m1, who as they pulled up along side you James, i saw them point and mouth "i want one of them"

cheers Tim, its great to have them back on, love the way they make the car look, espeially now the fronts are spaced out 20mm! although it does create a lot of scrubbing

may have to get the front arches rolled, i've got remove a couple of screws under the front arches to see it that helps the situation

Haha really? ahh good to see it was appreciated even if it was looking a state by that point!

I ran really low on fuel near the end of the m1 part & crawled all the way at 50 down the m25 & the m3 to fleet services being the first service station i saw....had 0 miles left in the tank at that point! got a bit scary towards the end....then i rinsed Â£15 worth of fuel in about 45 mins to get home

Haha i kept thinking what you said to me "I'll be home by the time you get on the M1" and you were soo right.

Hope chucky had a nice ride home, and no boxes falling off trucks got in your way haha good times mate
