At least you won't worry about cleaning them

Yes Insch in Aberdeenshire, father in law at the time lived at Old Rayne and we often spent time there, sister in law still lives in Kingsgate so I still have my ties with the Granite city.
It is also about 20 years since I bombed around in my little 1.2 Nova, it was a nippy little bugger for its time.

Happy days...I had a mighty 1.0  in a fetching shade of burgundy then a 1.4 SR beast, in grey.
My mate 'Andy fae Insch' had a red 1.2.

Fancy you knowing that area...Ellon had it's fair share of Nova boys too.

Aye well it's a small world.  Having been born in Glasgow it was not too much of a hop to visit the inlaws in Aberdeen.  Not so easy now from North Yorkshire. :grin:

My first car was a dark blue Nova in the mid-seventies!


A Nova in the seventies???

Back on topic, for people who have bought steel and tyre packages from Mytyres, do you need different bolts for the steel wheels?

Bloody hell :angry: I am totally confused now.  Went down to the local tyre centre, where the chap has always been brilliant with my tyre choices etc.

He stated that I do not need to change my wheels, that he can get me a decent set of winter tyres in my size and that they will be more than adequate.

God help us I don't know what to do now.
