You Never Know Where A Dream Will Lead You...

... to Scotland apparently!

After JAE I had decided the car needed a change.

The new decals on the doors might give it away a bit and there will be various clues as to what's happening coming up.

I had been inspired by seeing the Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Italia on social media. Taking inspiration from the LB Works 458, I ordered some custom decals displaying a quote from one of Honda's latest adverts.



To fit with my new plans I had to come to terms with the fact that the Mugen GP's weren't going to be wide enough and I needed new wheels. I'd never of imagined that trying to sell a set of Mugen wheels for less than half their worth would be so difficult, even if they are kerbed.

After weeks of advertising them on just about every place possible, I had made a deal with Sammy from the CR-Z Owners club to part ex the GP's for a set of Enkei NT03+m's, the only problem? I had to get to Stirling, Scotland to swap them.

So early one morning Chris and myself loaded up his car with my GP's and left my car sitting on Simon's spare set of OEM wheels (which look shit!), and headed for the border.



Leaving at 5am, we headed north up the A1M, stopping off at Nic's near Newcastle on the way as he was holding a package for me (more about that later).

Leaving Nic's we made in into Scotland, I had never been to Scotland before so it was all new to me. The scenery is quite incredible, but in typical fashion, I didn't get any pictures, sorry!

A quick stop off at a shopping centre in Stirling to meet Sammy and we had done the deal, swapped wheels over, had a quick chat and were back on the road.

Deciding we can't drive all the way to Scotland and not meet up with some of the guys from the club up here, we gave Euan and Rob a shout who came to meet us at the Forth Bridge at sunset. What a sight that is!! Again, a quick stretch of the legs and a chat, Chris and myself were back on the road not getting back home until 1am the next morning.







All in all it was a long trip but totally worth it as I managed to get rid of the Mugen GP's and pick up a temporary set of Enkei NT03+m's which sit really well on the car.

Now as I mentioned above these are only temporary as they are still not wide enough (17x7.5j) for the future plans. But boy, do they look good.
