    Yeah I spent a bunch of time in the VA Beach/Norfolk area from '08-'10, though that was before I was on this forum. If I do make it back down there though I'll let you know.

    I had the pleasure to meet up with Len last summer on one of those rare occasions he's not on a ship somewhere. He's done fantastic work on every mod on his car. He is neat and very meticulous - his work shows this. He's a great guy too.

    Keep up the great work Len.

    Another HSV wheel setup, those wheels are awesome. I really loved the HSV E1 GTS 20" wheels when I first saw them at the Brisbane auto show, but living where I go off road I couldn't live with 20" for a DD. But ended up getting 19" E1 gen Clubsport wheels instead, but I really loved these E2&E3 gen Clubsport wheels (but my wife didn't go for them). Congrats, can't wait to see them on your car.
