No guess the car is more fun...:D

Well a quick rundown on the history/spec is:

3.0 MV6 With Thames Valley Plod Mods. (Anyone actually know what the law does to them? Just ECU remap?)

De-Catted exhaust with a Cobra twin 4" back box.
K+N Pannel Filter.
Air-Con disconnected.
Police spec close ratio 5spd 'box.
Police lightened flywheel.
Police LSD.
KW variant2 coilovers.
Cobra Monaco bucket seats, with the rest of the interior standard.
TRS 4point harnesses.

A few other bits here and there, but these are the main smile factor ingredients.

Why, merci.

They're called Steinmetz. Rare and old. they're 17's by about 7.5, have an agressive offset and wear 235/45 tires.

 You say that your rims are only 17's, but with and agressive offset, they look a lot bigger than that, more like 18 or 19's. What's the "Ring" like in real life, I've only been around it a couple of hundred times on "GT4" not quite the same  :'(, I will have a go next year for real  :)

The wheels are definatly 17's. I took one off today...F#@king puncture!
I actually think they are 8" or 8.5" wide, with, I believe, a et21 offset. I do agree, they look much bigger.

The 'Ring, in real life is scary. In the dry, it's not too bad, but can get quite busy. In the wet, however, is a different story! That video was literally as fast as we could go. It's soo damn slippery - and I found none of the corners actuall resemble the game!

Unfortunatly, unlike in the game, you cant just press reset. If it does go all Pete Tong, thats it - You're brown bread, or worse off, have a hefty fine and have no car!

They're dead. Well 2 of them are, and they're now obsolete. Where to go to find some replacements?
If all else fails, where to go to find some rims that look half as good?
