Title: Who owns a greeny/blue Avenger?
Post by: Growler on December 14, 2015, 11:40:12 PM
I saw a greeny/blue Avenger (Same colour as the one at the top of the forum) with black wheels in East Tamaki this morning.
It looked good and sounded as it should.
I was going to tell him it looked good, but he proceeded to drive through a red light at a busy intersection...obviously in a hurry...

like most forums you cant actually upload them to the board, ya gotta 'host' them somewhere like Facebook or imgur / photobucket

then encapsule the url of the img in tags with square brackets : or use the advanced reply option & hit the Img icon & paste the url in there, its also possible to hotlink Instagram images too

Ideally I'd like 13x4.5 or 13x5 but I don't think they made them in that width.

Yup, That would have been me. I go down to East Tamaki a lot and I was down that way on there that day.

I still have the old wheels if anyone wants them.

How wide, and how much?

13x6. Make an offer.

I will just have to go and check that I still have all 4. One of them is at the top of my big pile of Avenger wheels, just need to check I didn't misplace one of them.

Yup, I still have all 4 wheels in my garage. All of them look good.

They do fit okay with 185's

Here is a thread about tyre sizes http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=96.0 (http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=96.0)

I saw you going south through tokoroa at the end of last year sometime richard. I think I just had my mouth open staring as you went past me in my work van, I have to say your car is absolutely stunning! Would love to have a good look up close sometime.

Yup, that was me, back in November, I went down to a car show down in Turangi.

My car gets spotted everywhere because it is so unique.

We really should organise another Avenger meetup at some point.

Okay. I finally got off my ass and booked my accommodation and tickets for Leadfoot.
