Default Winter's officially over

…'cos the winter wheels are off now, and have been swapped for the 20" FE "dailies". I had to wait till the Sahara had stopping dumping sand on it before having it washed tho' .
It's amazing what a difference a couple of inches makes...

Spring comes a little later up here!

Newly refurbished FE 20" wheels put on today. I just love how the car look with these wheels.

Very, very nice indeed, it is like a different (better..) car with 20" wheels on - handles better too!.

Did one of the Laird's serfs come to the Lairdship's to change the wheels over, or did one do it oneself….?

PS - that reminds me, must swap to my original wheels before the meet...

Wheel porn on this thread, I think they transform the D2 and are very fitting for a car with such an iconic design
