Looking fwd to seeing it at Combe . I'll be driving too if i get my 24k service done beforehand.

Hi Greg
No idea re filter. I have the original setup too, which I may replace. I'm not a big fan of oily filters...
See you at CC (bring your cameras!)
Garrett...yes, that is my car - I didn't write the description though!

What, like in a check pattern? Have you no taste man? 
Those pictures make me look forward to summer. We really have to make sure we get a large meet set up!
BTW, it made me think when you said that 'we have never seen pictures of your car on here'. I have been here a long time haven't I? It will be 3 years in August....bugger.

Rob not only has the same wheels as me, but also the same steering wheel. As I remember, the wheel should come with a hub and what I can only describe as a 'spacer' which brings the wheel a little closer which I personally like. It was quite easy to fit, although it did take me 2 attempts to get it straight. Well, 99% straight....
Edit: it is some time ago now, so memory might be slightly clouded by the mists of time. It COULD be that what I describe as a 'spacer' is in fact the hub that you refer to....

Rob,
Congrats on the car! Very beautiful.
Don't switch back to Cup 1s too quickly. Mine has the turbo twists too, and I thought I would go back to Cup 1s at some point. I may still do that, but the turbo twists have really grown on me. It gives the car a more modern look, and I like the quick response of the 18s.

Christer, the twists look very good -- are they Porsche, or?? And I'm glad to see someone with respect for tradition; the flag mirror is classy. J

Summer meet is essential I think. You're right about those photos. Good job I sold the cab in the winter - I don't think I'd have parted with it in the summer...
