Trip down to see @RubberLover (Ivan Kerr Tyres) in Carrick this afternoon for a set of tyres.
Always impressed with the care these guys take with wheels. I was a bit worried with these being fresh out of the box and never fitted, but not as much as a finger print on them when I picked them up, brilliant service as ever
Back up the road after work to get them on the car, over the moon with how it looks tbh.
Bit of tinkering to be done to get ride heights etc sorted, but for a straight bolt on with no spacing or anything, have to say I’m chuffed with them
Few quick photos in the dark!
Next up tax and up to Dubshed for a run

Good choice, fair play 10/10

Few pics so far from Dubshed, my first show with the 190 and tbh I’m over the moon with how the car’s looking.
Obviously there’s wee bits here and there that need fixed and things I’m not happy with and will sort in due time, but have to keep reminding myself it’s 31 years old and in much better nick than I am

Nice little roller shot from @D14bto heading home from Dubshed on Sunday.
Bit of tinkering required for ride heights, not a bad guess seeing as the weekend was the first I’ve driven it with the new wheels on.
Thinking of either lowering the front a bit of raising the back to make it level. Although he also sent me the second photo of the exhaust near on the road so maybe raising the back is best

Can't fault it one bit mate, genuinely Can't and you know I can fault anything
Cars perfect sham, yea I detest any colour/shade/version of blue, but i understand at the time this car was new blue was the in thing, so that overrides my opinion on the colour
Any plans going forward? Keep the updates coming

Pretty happy with it at the minute sham, few bits of paintwork and stuff needing tidied up and going to do a boot build of some description.
Going for a service and under seal this week just to keep everything fresh.
Apart from that nothing major!

Well today didn’t go as planned 
Took a spin down to the JPCCNI Loughgall Show, good day out, some stunning machinery on show and the weather wasn’t too bad in the end thankfully!
Car drove like a dream the whole way there and back, until we hit Whiteabbey on the way home. Lost all power, thankfully just managed to get it into a lay-by before it shut down completely.
Seems to be a fuel issue, probably pump related so will get a good nosey at it tomorrow.
The only saving grace was a mate driving past on his way home in his recovery truck, saved a headache!
On the plus side, she did look good on the back of the truck

Layed out on the back of a lorry is pretty sick
Sorry I couldn't be any help sham
I'd love to have lifted it, I genuinely love that car
