Sexy as, love it mate :D

I actuallt prefered the ATS's on there, they suited it so much better IMO. RM's still look great tho!

Makes me want a caddy, would love to bring one over for something different!

If they had caddy's here, I'd own one!

I think I prefer the old wheels though. Suits the era better

Not really sure what to say to that??

Either it's an "in joke" i'm not "in", or a poor attempt at humor...

cheers everyone...


I loved the ATS classics but it was far ro low on the sump for the speed bumps we have over here... I got fed up of replacing sump pans...

but I'm thinking of raising the engine so they might go back on...

my clock stopped working so I picked up a set in the scrappies and ripped them apart for the bits I needed....

Made a few spares for when I get bored again...
