Gough Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 .....For my TT to arrive! I have searched for many many weeks to find the right car, and just the other week this one popped up and I couldn't turn it down; It's a 93' GZ auto totally standard apart from those huuuge rims and its got just 24,000 miles on the clock (which will be certified by BIMTA). I think the wheels are Volk AV3s but not 100% sure Put the deposit installment down on it today, I've been advised to expect to collect the car in approx 9 weeks.... Counting the days down already! Edited to add... Looking forward to meeting some of you lot when the car arrives! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraguy Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Is that an Aerotop? Hard to tell from that pic. They're rare as fook! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gough Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Nope it's not an aerotop, but couln't let this one pass by with the mileage & spec. Its an auction grade 4 car with interior grade B (one off as new condition). Might add a few things on its arrival though Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraguy Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Still a great motor with incredibly low miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gough Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Got it through Group20 (based in Southampton). Can't fault their service; I initially felt very uncertain about buying such a car unseen, but Patrick has been superb in guiding me through the process so far. eight weeks and six days to go.................

Steve W2 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 They do look like Volk AV3's as I have them on mine. They look a little slim at the back though. Can't really tell but the wider the rim the deeper set in the alloys are. Nice looking car though and v. low mileage, hope Group20 do the biz fo you.

Gough Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Thanks Steve, Yes, I'm now certain they are AV3s, and I've done a little research too.. it seems as though the 19"ers came only in 8.5 and 9.5 inch front and rear sizes respectively (which is perhaps why they look a little less deep dish than your 18s), whereas the 18"ers were available in 9 and 10 inch. Not sure why though? Really hope UK brakes will fit behind them! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Mine are 18's and I have 245 on the front and 275 on the rear. Thats about 9.5" and 11" respectively. You need a good 10" on the rear:limp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annan Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Hi Joe Lovely car. The nite before you get it, you won't sleep. When you do get it you'll want to drive it all day. You won't want to park it without you in it. (i wait in sainsbury's car park whilst the wife gets the shopping). Believe me Joe, you are about to know what real obsession means.
