Apparently maintained regardless of cost, yet has "legal limit" tyres, just the thing you really want on a DTM copy potential supercar;)

Actually to be fair to the seller you are wrong, the car comes with Silver/black Alloys with new tyres, it's the additional set of 4 RS8 Alloys that have the legal limit tyres, he does also mention that one of the RS8 Alloys has been kerbed.

I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world

So bad, it should be on BarryBoys forum.

It is. It was "Shed of the Year" for 2009.

See the links I put in post #14 for more shed of the year winners.

I've just finished my pride and joy, what do you think?

People might take the mickey but at least this owner is providing a service.Those arches will make comfy seats for any passing pensioners who may be tired and need a bit of a rest.If the owner returns and drives off they also get a free lift(or kidnapping, depending on your POV).
Before slagging others off, people should have a think about what they have done for their community!

Not impossible with really low profile tyres, it does highlight the fact that the previous owner of the wheels (not necessarily the seller) was a pretty rubbish driver, however, that's irrelevant though as I was responding to the poster who said the car only had legal limit tyres on.

The scoops weren't big enough so I've done another re-mod.
