Well
the strangest thing happened. Michael Clark from the Winnipeg Free Press called me and had some other guy take pictures of my car, then he put it in the newspaper (08/05/2005).

This is most definitely the coolest thing that has ever happened. I was so excited I got up at nine on my day off to go and get the newspaper.
I never get up that early (except when I have too)

I coaxed my buddy into letting me use his Azenis RT-215's (205/50R15) today (08/15), the only catch is that they are mounted on Enkei RPF1s, one of the lightest and meanest looking rims on the market. I guess that isn't really a catch.

The tires are a little on the balding side, but thats ok because they still grab like insane. They are made in Japan too, so my car didn't reject them.
She doesn't like all the other, none Japanese mods - so she spoke to me in a dream the other night. She told me "houjin yuiitsu nanitozo", which near as I can tell means "Soley Japanese Please."
It was kind of strange, but it happens to everyone?

A lot of people look at me strange rocking two different rims, but thats ok. I don't like strange lookers anyways.

I also got my buddy to install my fog lamps toight, that was a job and a half. He had to cut the bumper to fit because they are massive.... amber..... projectors (made in China).

FOG LAMPS

here he is hacking my bumper up to shit

and this is what he did

bastard....
Then he decided that maybe he'd see if they fit first.

They didn't, at all. He fabbed up this bracket from a piece of an old shipping carton. It was actually quite amazing.

I really did nothing but sit around and heckle, belittle and take photos.
Even though I thought he'd never pull through, after 5 hours of thankless labour "J-Roc" came through. I'm just kidding BTW, he always falls through. They was never a doubt in my mind.

They light up awesome, and thanks to his wicked bracket they don't bounce around all over the road like so many peoples fog lamps.

I quite like them.
