Monaro
Is sold. With various issues on an engine rebuild, I'd fallen out of love with it. I dearly miss having a V8 in my garage, but I would want to start with a clean slate and try something different. Looking back through my photos, I don't have a single picture of it from the last 18 months or so, which says a lot.

After spending entirely too long um-ing and ah-ing about the wheels, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and went for a satin anthracite finish. I did think about refurbing to the original diamond cut finish, but ultimately thought this might prove to be a largely fruitless task as they’ll invariably need doing again after not too long.

I’m hoping they’ll turn out something akin to this, except with a red calliper and a traditional colour Lotus roundel:



I am now suffering from an unreasonable amount of anxiety as to whether I’ve made the correct choice as a result.

As per Rich's comment, they'll look much better that standard, which did look a bit cheapo. Correct choice confirmed.

Twisted is up by me and they do some nice stuff. Chap in our village had an LS engine version a while ago and it sounded awesome!! Seemed to go quite well too.
