Well I corked the Valdez today (thanks again Tony and Ingo) and as I was
hosing the degreaser off of the drive way, I got the bug to wash and wax
the V8.  Looks much better clean :-)

I snapped a few pics of the Avus 17" wheels (BTW, car has H&R w/ yellow
Koni Sports):

http://198.107.18.114/V8Q/pics/Avus1.jpg - I *really* like the way these
look on my car
http://198.107.18.114/V8Q/pics/Avus2.jpg - But something is not quite
right...
http://198.107.18.114/V8Q/pics/Avus3.jpg - Dude?!?  Where's my offset?!?

I have a set of 25mm (1") H&R spacers on order which will give me the
10mm I am missing (wheels are ET 45, car asks for ET35 w/ a 7.5" wide
wheel), plus an extra 15mm to give it an aggressive stance.  Not to
mention a little bling :-)

Spacers will be here on Wednesday, so I will send out a before/after
email w/ photos when I get them installed.  Let's hope they don't look
obnoxious or kill the handling...

Getting anxious,

- Jeremy

H&R P/N 5055571 - 25mm  They are the DRA, so I won't need new bolts :-)
