Herbie

For those who didn't see him on Friday:









And of when I picked him up:

Nice one Lucy at last you have Herbie just gotta get everything else sorted then you can teach me to drive

Indeed! You have a PM

Just need duals now - which should be fitted in the next couple weeks.

Nice one Lucy.
I am sure we can find a little space on the CTTP website for an advertising banner for you....

That sounds good Scoops - once I'm qualified I'll have to look into that!

Bless isnt he lovely!
Look forward to seeing him soon.

Lucy you may want to get a thread up for people who want to learn to drive with me at the top of the list

Oh well, at least I can say I saw the car ... before Lee gets behind the wheel & demolishes it!

Well out of fairness to Lee ... I haven't ever seen him in the driving seat of a car (cos I'm his chauffeur ) , so I'm only joking Lucy

I must get you a drivers cap and gloves so you look the part

I have had a few lessons but that was about 2 years ago and I was doing ok and starting to get to grips with it. Reversing round a corner was always fun especially up or down hill

don't worry - I shall teach you all I know!
































Shouldn't take longer than 10mins

Just got sight of the pics as I can't see them whem i'm at work Love the number plate Lucy cool as.......

yeah I couldn't believe the plate was still avaliable when i bought it back in April!

Not updated this for a while...

Herbie is now sporting new tail pipes and early Bug hubcaps! Going to get the wheels colour coded in Harvest Moon when I have the money:

I wish I had He-man controlls .......for when lisa is driving !!.....she's got a lead right foot ....I've nearly worn out a hole in my carpet with the 'pretend' brake pedal on the passenger side ........fair play to her mind she's a good driver , she could get my mk1 escort much more sideway's than i could

Iactually like the steelies, deff diffrent on a newbie

I havn't seen that done before, saves your learners fecking up your alloys too, smart thinking... Any shots from the side? How did you attach them?

Cheers guys

They've been done a fair few times - mostly in the states tho. They're the same wheels as before, but with the hubcaps removed. To get the chrome caps to fit I had to drill 4 holes in each wheel and fit the pre 67 clips (avaliable from heritage etc), secure them with teeny tiny bolts and lock nuts and then pop the cap on!

These are the only 'side' pics I've got:




They'll look much better once they're colour coded as the wheel won't blend into the tyre lol

That looks proper cool....well done

I followed Lucy off the M5 on Friday and I noticed them, I though it looked cool.
Well done Buddy.
