Hi Guys...

I joined late last year...tagged onto the end of the secret bunker run...and been on Stoney's run. I bought this Cooper S Convertible last Oct ( I think) and love it to bits!

Here's my wee bairn from the front:

I dunno John...he keeps following me about.

Funny wee story...I used to do Karate training and play ice hockey...I was about 11 stone and really fit (that's "fit" as in athletic & healthy...not "fit" as in booshackala...AYE!...me Julieeee). I stopped smoking and gave up training etc...and put on 6 stone within six months. I'm now about 19 stone...far too heavy i know. Anyway i was conveying my experience of passing a mirror to a mate of mine a few weeks ago..."Yeah I walked past a mirror the other day...and I had to stop and go back to the mirror!!! I asked myself..... Before I could finish and say "WHO THE HELL IS THAT!!"...my mate jumped in and said WHO THE HELL ARE THOSE TWO GUYS!!!"

With friends like this...who needs enemies!

:D

I think they look nice too. Its the wheels that were on the car when I bought it. I certainly wouldn't have spent that kind of money on a set of wheels!!!!!.

With runflats (OK Craig:blackeye:)...they are painful to the ass and the car when they hit potholes.

I would advise against anyone going above 17"s (OK Craig...jump in:blackeye:)...in fact after following the Elfman on his 16"'s on Stoney's run...I think 16"'s have to be thought on seriously.

Fi summed it up really...you have to sacrifice performance for looks...

Bonny looking car, its amazing the difference the different wheels make to the car.

[Gordons_cooper_wrks]

Hi KJ...a friend of mine in Methil. I saw him today...and I tried to get a rough idea of price out of him. I don't know how much mine cost...as he did other work for me as well. But he says that every job is different and it depends on how much work is required. He prefers to see the wheels in other words. He told me that it is cheaper just to spray the outside of the wheel...but I got both sides of mine done. Its a better job.

I already have someone interested in getting wheels done...he will contact them and ask to see the wheels.

The guy is really good at his job...a perfectionist!

PM me with a contact number and i can pass it on...

Worth a trip to Methil I think....remember your passport!

:D

i have 5 19inch Arospeed RSGT wheels to be refurbed in that shade. I have a price of £220 from Coatech in Carnoustie so if he can beat that then that'd be ace.
