Travelled Up To See Bigmac today to swap wheels
was a jolly nice drive up theyre at 5:30 this morning im absolutley shattered now 300 miles and the ode Zed didnt put a foot wrong other than eating half a tank of LPG and a small bit of petrol as the lpg got a tad low
theyre in no way perfect and need a slight touch up here and theyre but nothing to cry about.........
oh and Lee was on about keeping his 180 now that it had the silver wheels back on :bounce:
heres a piccy
Like i said on FB Tim They look excellent suit the car well.
eh? don't get the bit about selling a car without a jack and wheel brace making the seller a "tool" and an excuse for a "linching". I am pretty sure when i bought mine from the MGR dealers it didn't come with either just a bottle of tyre weld. the jack and brace / space saver tyre were extras? In fact our Ford Galaxy doesn't have a jack or wheel brace.

His had a spare wheel and where the brace and jack shud be it was empty no tyre weld to be seen
I think that it desrves a linching in my eyes....you and ya kids driving down the busy motorway late at night you get a puncture no AA cover come to get the wheel out no jack and brace what do ya do?????
Think of it that way dont want this to become an argument thread btw

But surely you check things like that when you buy a car or at least I do!
But also I guess the previous owner may never of know if they never had a puncture! I honestly can't remember the last time I actually had one must be 10+ years at least!
