Are you offering Andrew? With set of 18" Avus (just refurbished) and some fat fives with my winters on, I am not going to be able to persuade my good lady that some FE20s are a necessary addition......

I'll have to get some non-standard locking wheel nuts before the Wales meet.
Your three cars do look splendid together, I was just echoing IT's OCD about wheels in a slightly different way.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like the Avus 18's. The less fussy look complements the D2's styling IMHO.
Thanks for sharing your enjoyment of your backyard playground, and great picts Connor

On mine Satin Black was a factory option chosen when it was new, I have seen some that have been wrapped and the results look good

How good is that video? We were lucky to get it filmed amid all that traffic!
Had a great time, so thanks to Brian for organising the trip and to David for being our 'guide'. The weather was unbelievably good, the roads were fun and the scenery breathtaking. Just a shame that one of us had to go to work the next morning!
