Pics were taken in Yarmouth, cowes & shanklin, but as it happens our house is in seaview,2 mins from puckpool, it's a bit quiet round here though not sure the neighbours appreciate a cossie buzzing about

looks good on focus wheels. do you come to the island much?

john v

Yeah i think so as well, The first time I saw a saph with focus wheels I thought that I've got to get a set, we come over at least 2 or 3 times a year, my wife and her sister have a holiday home in seaveiw so we try and use it as much as possible, it's such a beautiful island I always look forward to it even 18 years on, where abouts are you and what cars, projects you got?

Trist

I live central just outside newport in carisbrooke, work in east cowes.
I killed my last cosworth up the only bit of dual carridgeway here due to brake failure, that was a magenta one I bought from Guzzler on here and I had just had it re sprayed.
nothing exiting since due to family/house purchase etc. I am currently putting my orange VR6 track back together. contemplating putting an MOT on it but you must know what the IOW police are like, I will never get left alone lol

How does the car drive with them wheels on.

Thanks for comment, i love the focus wheels on a sapphire as well. It drives surprisingly well although the 35 series tyres are not very forgiving on bad surfaces but that's the price you pay for looks instead of driverbility, I wouldn't change them back just avoid the pot holes.

Nice comments again, thanks everyone, i loved it driving around the iow in a cossie, all them quiet country lanes with the windows down, sun shining through the open sun roof and the sweet sound of the waste gate flutter, days to remember.
