Cupid brought me a belated gift today. I know it's not so exciting to you all, but it's my first syncro farkle. 215/75/15 Nokian Vativa's and Rheins. I'll post another pic once they're mounted.

I guess I'll be working on the clamshell next.

Congrats... New tires and rims are always fun to get.

I got me some Rheins last year too.

Have fun.

You see, farkle equals glitz, which equals bling, which equals schmaltz, which equals frippery, which equals panace, which equals eye-candy, which equals pizazz, which equals farkle.

We have... strange values.

"Oh yeah... give me some more... come to papa..."

"Peep show?"

"Bleeding the cooling system."

Shocked

Best!

Congrats on the new tires and rims! I find that this forum is the only place I can truly express my elation over my Westy as most non-westy people just don't "get it". I find the same is true for flying, as a pilot I love to fly, talk about flying, and talk about airplanes. Most people could care less...
