I remember in '97 I got a set of 16" for my [bLEEP]... They were huge and the cheapest tyres were around $250 ea...
17" was around the 4K+ mark for rims and tyres...
How times change...
Cecil hotel in Southport... The local hangout for work... Me and previously mentioned mates had a lunchtime session and went thru 6 each... For each bottle, you got a ticket for the barrel...
Rang up mate number 1 on 23/12 and said "Hooray you won!" I thought he was bullshitting me... But nup, rocked up to the hotel the next day and filled up mates BA ute with 20 cartons...
Gave 8 to the winning name and 6 ea to the lowly mates...
As you'd guess, I've got a soft spot for Empire now
Just bumming around at home... Not taking any holidays, got 5 wks at Easter...
Relos come down, bring beer and presents, kids run around like headless chickens, etc, etc
What about you mate?
Branigans are the option you take when you have 50 bux to your name and wire poking out of your tyres... Cheap and nasty... Good service though...
Avoid F1 at all costs...
I found BBS to be good in the past, but they forgot to mention to me that they had moved last time I booked the car in, so my business went elsewhere...
Federals are underrated IMO...
There are plenty of motels along the GC Highway that do standby rates... Not really walking distance to Surfers, but a cheap cab ride or bus will get you there... NFI how booked out they are though... I have a house to live in
