Today's Top Spot

However, why do so many classic car owners have to put these "minilite style" wheels on their cars?

So true Alan, especially on the TR's! Does it go back to some kind of TR racing history with them? I also think that they don't look as nice as the original wheels...I think the vast percentage have Minilites now.

Rimmer and Moss bro's must rub their hands together with glee..

[Jon Tilson]

By now the original wheels could well have been damaged or gone seriously rusty and not hold air. I agree the minilites are a bit "me too"
but may well be the best solution. After all he cant hang his door properly and his rear springs are sagging, so its clearly a work in progress.
Hood looks a cheap one too.

(Mostly just jealousy)

The minilites would look a lot better on these and Sprints if they were the deep dish type similar to the original wheels.

Today I saw a French registered Lada Niva;



Which is not something you can say everyday....

Was finished in Almond Green and possibly sporting minilites

Ah, a sidevalve Reliant Regal MK6. That's owned by a bloke called Erik.


And another MK6 that I see sometimes:

Never seen before but he must live near me. That sand road in the picture has a 90 degrees bend in it where i sometimes practice my dolomite off road turning technique's.

Bring on the Spring !

Saw A Nice old white beetle, and an MG - I even got a wave (It wasn't the usual bobble hat old bloke, it was a woman )

[DoloWIGHTY]

I saw this Morgan today I did;

....It wasn't the usual bobble hat old bloke, it was a woman

Good gracious! How frightfully infradig, allowing one's wench access to the motor car. And on a weekday too. Unbelievable.

Liking the look of that Morgan, Alan. How on earth is a bloke supposed to know how old it is though? Not that I care, 'cos if someone did manage to shoehorn me into that thing, I'd need the fire brigade to get me out again.

[Carledo]

Looks like a fairly new one to me, note the rear foglight under the numberplate. Steve
