    2021 update in summary, well actually in full:

    March - MOT, passed, had done 62 miles in the last year of which 30 were driving to/from the MOT

    May - first time back on a rolling road since 2017. Same rolling road and made 102bhp, up from 95. The Magnex and V-power the main reason, plus the engine a bit looser after rebuild

    July - did VBOA on PNG stand of course

    August - did RRG at Shelsley Walsh - with PNG again. Also did one local car show and planning the same one in September

    Big year next year - my daughter wants me to drive her to her wedding in it so will be keeping it for now!

    Oh and yes, I did fit a red tailpipe to the Magnex!

    Well a belated update for the rest of 2021 and 2022 so far. Not long after my last post above, I was diagnosed with cancer (Sept 21). A devastating blow, especially as my eldest daughter had asked me to drive her to her wedding in May 22 in the Sport. Skip forwards 6 months and after surgery, I am now having chemo and fingers crossed, will be well enough and perhaps in remission to do my Dad duty.

    Anyway, enough of my woes - question is, what wheels for 2022?

    The original, as worn in 1991 on my first date with Sam (and the reason the car means so much to us):




    The current wheels, that I quite like and it looks good on them:



    Or my latest purchase:

    Thanks for that - no idea about the pictures as I can see them this side?

    I think they are on a google platform of some sort and needs the sharing permissions tweaking (hence why you can see them and we cant :D )

    Weird - I can see them on my PC but not on phone or tablet.

    Not sure if this link will work - basically trims a la 1991, current wheels as per VBOA 2021 or new OZs...

    Yes, the Amazon link works.

    That is a tough call, I really like all of those wheels

    All suit the Nova really well. If pushed I guess I’d have to go with my motorsport roots and the OZ rims.

    I'm actually digging the trims, they look cooler than they sounded when you described them!
