I was in Maidstone, my mate came up with jump leads and a boost pack but we couldn't get it going. RAC had no problems though...

Weird. I do have a very big jump pack though.  :grin:

Shoulda put a post up. Always in or near Maidstone. What did the RAC use?

I was at work so had quite a few options and weren't as bad if i was at the side of the road. The RAC just plugged jump lead into the grill of their van...

New wheels yey!

Not as exciting as I'd hoped. But something to keep me busy!

Ah fair enough. Well if you're ever stuck out and about just post up and I've always got a boot full of tools. :)

Meh, they're new to you. Going silver?

New to me but had a set before!

Nope, they're going dark anthracitey colour. Or red primer.

So yesterday I sanded the wheels down and cleaned them up, ready for colour change day!

Primed:



Finally got two into a fresh coat of paint:



Just two more to paint then lacquer.
