Title: picking up my Preciousss...
Post by: Juriën on August 02, 2005, 04:28:32 PM
Ok, some of you may have seen her already, but this is what I got from Miguel. What do you guys think? I can\'t think of anything else to add to it to cosmetically improve it\'s looks, except for some 18\'s and a rear diffuser.
Dying to pick her up around fall :wiggle
Thanks Migs!!

I\'d keep the Re Amemiya wheels rather than go for 18\'s - there worth alot of money and match the look of the car. Yeah a diffuser would be a finishing touch!

Maybe someone can have a go with Photoshop and show me what it would look like when lowered on a nice set of 18" Advan rs or 18" RG\'s. Maybe some vinyls... feel free to be creative.

Allright, convinced! Not that I disliked the RE Amemiya wheels, just thought the larger diameter size would improve the looks a little more.

Thanks for the good comments guys :)

Can someone point me in the direction of a pair of US spec LHD headlights? I \'m  just after the reflectors with the covering glasses, not the whole assembly.

Nice car John, especially the wheels ;)  Are those 18s? How much are they worth if you don\'t mind me asking?

Anybody know anything about the headlights? :confused:

Mine are 17\'s - might look bigger from the angle of the photo and the car is
lowered so they fill the arches a bit better.

Bought them second hand through the club, don\'t know the \'new\' price.

Nice.. Well, as soon as I get it I\'ll drop mine a little more and get some spacers to get them exactly where I want them; right under the arches. As long as they don\'t scrape.
For now I\'ll just sit here and wait... and wait... and wait a lil more...

Title: Meeting at Harwich docks, anyone?
Post by: Juriën on October 06, 2005, 01:17:44 PM
The car is now finally ready to pick up. I\'m going to Harwich this monday to pick her up and return to Holland that same evening around 19.00. Since I\'m going to be there for a while, I might as well meet the ones that happen to be in that area. PM me if interested.
Title: My Preciousss...coming my way
Post by: TonyBlair on October 06, 2005, 04:58:16 PM
Might be able to organise a mini-meet for the guys from tendring and the surrounding area. I\'ll see if I can round some people up for Monday night mate   :D
Title: My Preciousss...coming my way
Post by: TonyBlair on October 06, 2005, 05:47:58 PM
Thinking about it... 7:00pm is going to be a bit tight. I don\'t get home from work till 7:00, and I suspect most other people don\'t get home from work till about 6\'ish.

Is 7 the time that the boat leaves Juriën?

Cheers
Jon

Jurien, it might work out I finish at 2pm instead of 6pm, if it does I shall give you a shout :) Cars looks lovely by the way :D Hopefully get a chance to see it in the flesh, err...metal!

Zab your car looks very tasty aswell, have you got any bigger pics? Fraid your about 500 miles from harwich, although more than welcome if you fancy a trek :)

;) Sorry Jay... :rollin If this is of any comfort, this one is going to Holland.

I got more details about my short visit. I\'m going to arrive at 10.10 in the morning. Yes, Tony, my boat leaves at 19.20. I believe I\'ll have to board 30mins before that. It\'s mucho appreciated if you could come Zab, but I\'m affraid it\'s very far from Scotland. Harwich is in the Southeast if I\'m not mistaken. But of course youre very welcome!

I appreciate all your efforts and I understand it if some can\'t make it. Would be nice to get some Rexes together though.

Post by: TonyBlair on October 07, 2005, 05:44:09 PM
Ahh... t\'is a shame, I can\'t leave work early on Monday so I won\'t see your car in the metal mate.

My dad works at the docks. I\'ve told him that your car is coming over on Monday, so beware, a strange old man may come over to you and chat to you about the car.

All the best,
Jon

Post by: Juriën on October 07, 2005, 07:40:47 PM
That\'s a bummer you can\'t make it Jon, I\'ll keep an eye out for your old man though. Never thought I\'d be looking out so much for a monday to come :D  :D

Is there no one else from that area able to make it to the docks this monday?
Title: My Preciousss...coming my way
Post by: TonyBlair on October 07, 2005, 07:59:56 PM
Such bad timing... I start work at 10, and finish at 6 - which is about the time of your duration. Maybe I should phone in a bomb scare at the office, see if I can get away early   :evillaugh

Danny (ozzy_velcro) is local to me, he might be able to come along. Although he works a lot, so not sure if he could spare the time - try PM\'ing him maybe? Other than that I can\'t think of any other local people  :confused:

Cheers

That\'s a good idea Jon, :rollin  :rollin  It would have been nice if you could make it, but I know, It\'s a short notice.

We\'ll survive. Andy might be able to make it if he gets off work early like he said before in this post. So far it\'s just him. It would be nice if he can make it.

If nobody can make it, it would be just me driving around  :3gears-rh enjoying my car :D
