They might be 13" and from a pigwot but it still looks like you have put on the mother of all sets of spacers. Those bubble arches will look rather grand.

Sorry, sorry; keep thinking about the wheels. Are you planning bubble arches or something like the monster box arches like the 6R4? Oh hell please don't fit beetle type ones with a running board between!

Hey Chief, you're showing your age if you know about Carlos Fandango! - I thought I was the only one old enough to remember that biggrin

And for those of you not at our epic age - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqqZ28m8uCo

Please note I do not condone smoking in any shape unless you're on fire, also if you must do it, don't light up in a barn full of hay/straw as in the ad!

That is the one lauriekee - not that old, I'm nearly 45 (47 is nearly 45 as far as I'm concerned)!

Mate of mine visited Binky and the Fellas at Goodwood and took some pictures - those wheels still look VERY wide to me; very like a set Carlos Fandango super wide wheels.

Let's hope the boys have better luck than the chap in the Ford Anglia!!

I was hoping to get to Goodwood but family ties conspired against me. I've just watched the itv4 programme on it - next year!

Are you thinking of Theo Paphitis in the purple Angular? What happened?

Paul, what happens is this guy straps on a set of hugely wide wheels to a white Ford Anglia and careers over a field, smashes through a gate that is too narrow for the car and it rips all 4 wheels off. The Car was white with a chequered flag stripe on it iirc

I watched the Youtube clip of the Carlos Fandango ad. A good ad, I had a good laugh. Thanks for the link

Somehow I got the idea from laureikee's post that someone racing an Anglia at Goodwood had had a bad prang, looked up "Anglia Goodwood 2016" and found the ref to Theo Paphitis.....

What I want to know is, when Binky is all done, will Nick have to wear a black hoody (up) and TALK LIKE THIS?

So, looking at the teaser trailer for part14, it looks like we will see mili miglia style arches, but according to the official BOM tyre sticking out gauge they are only going to be the starting point for something clever (like the whole car has been so far to be honest).
