(love that tire size too..., must be expensive)

DrLaban 02-03-2005 12:30

Hi there!

Glad you all like my cab-project :D
I will add this thread to my almost daily updates ;)

Regarding my tires. (Continental Contisport 165/45-15)
I got them some weeks ago after waiting for almost 1.5 month.
Got them from Germany, but it seems like I was lucky. Not easy to get them anymore.
I paid about €430 including shipping from Germany to Norway. Not bad at all ;)

They gave me that goodlookin`"german-stretch" :D


Tjaap 02-03-2005 12:50

welcome... and YES.. please on the update thing ;)

Melvin 02-03-2005 14:05

wow... didn't know you could even go that low with 15" rims... brings the possibillity of keeping my wheels :)

Michiel86c 02-03-2005 16:15

Wow, nice project!

DrLaban 03-03-2005 00:14

I got my "show-plates" from Germany today :D







Tjaap 03-03-2005 00:16

apart from "clean" "een" also means 1 in dutch (dunno about norway) so it double funny to me

DrLaban 03-03-2005 00:21

haha... thats funny! :D

Almost the same as in Norway then.. 1 = "EN"

berendd 05-03-2005 13:09

The paintjob is just around the corner ;)

Mixagolf1 08-03-2005 22:23

...So low... :confused: Seems that you have pretty clean roads without any bumps, pits, nothing at all. What you will do if you catch an empty plastic bottle on your road? Maybe, i'm getting old... :)
