Yup, well worth the trouble. It's a bit 'darty' with the RE050s on - tramlines a bit. Brakes are amazing but I haven't had to really dump it yet. I bet with the brake assist it'll be like dropping the Queen Mary II's anchor though.

Oh, and the '**** man' - what the hell is that from? I'm thinking Lethal Weapon??

Common!?!? You havent lived if you haven't had the pleasure of watching "The Hangover". See it!

I've been tromping on a friends 37 and the brakes are delightful. The tires are the weekst link.

Andres done a few great jobs for us too. That factory finish looks super hard to replicate, Seems like theres a few colors going on.

I've seen the film but I think I fell asleep part way through. Somewhere around the time there was a tiger in the john.

Yeah, the brakes are amazing. I'm finding it a bit tough modulating them on that last km/h to 0 when stopping - hard to keep it from doing the yo-yo.

The wheels are an odd colour that's for sure - like a smoky silver with black underneath. Reminds me of the M-Tech wheels off the E39 M5 which were notoriously hard to patch but not quite so dark.

I put my winters on last wednesday as I am also afraid. Living out in the sticks here, if there was any amount of snow I would never be able to get home until spring.

I would hold out as long as possible if you live in town. Even 5 to 10*c roads will wear winters in a hurry. We've got plenty of dry weather ahead of us.

Yeah well you ain't seen my rear tires...

But srsly, it's supposed to get nicer yet this week. Maybe I'll switch 'em on the weekend if next week's forecast looks bad.

BTW, I wore my Motorrad T all over Disney World and Universal Florida. You should be getting talking mice, ducks with shirts but no pants, singing dwarves, etc. for customers any day now.

I just picked up some new Dealer Alloy take-offs for my GMC Crew Cab with new winters and TPS this past weekend.

Now I am giving them a couple of good coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant as well as doing my 18" FX Alloys and Blizzaks.

Then I will be ready to install them in November sometime.

That's wicked! Totally different clientele, though.
