        It's a shame they copied the wheels from a 90's Daimler. I might have to get some new alloys now.

              Did anyone point out to them the word 'honkey' is a derogatory word for a Caucasian person?

                You can't compare it to the 1959 Ford Anglia; that's beyond comparison.
