When I get what I am looking for, to put them on... ;)

A busy week end, mixing pleasure and work.
There was a lot of work to do in Normandy, this week-end, but there was some place for Pleasure. Just one picture to give you an idea... The White Alpine is not mine, as it belongs to my business partner's husband. But I gave him a hand for the running in...
Pleased that you had a good time ...
Enjoying the pleasures of the open road. Have a great week ahead.
The first thing I thought is 21 is not 75 😀
Wow, you did it! Eagerly waiting... I got the go ahead today of my wife for a nice classic car... Will take some months though before revealing. D
Very nice cars! And a lovely house too!
I'm looking forward to the unveiling! It's so strange; in America, we have big cars, big engines, and big roads, but only a 105kph speed limit on the highway in California. In Europe, there are small cars, small engines, yet they all drive quickly and spi...
Obviously a very cool weekend...
I think I recognize a well known dark green Volvo in the garage in the background... hehehe Did you see her beautiful Jardur chrono, it makes my heart beat fast every time I see it... she has a really beautiful one Glad you could enjoy the weekend fully i...
Hehehe, I have good eyes to spot the background also even if the highlight of the show was the A110 of course...
Yes I am not suprised but I keep thing about this Jardur chrono of her, you had found a fantastic one for her. She has a fantastic mature taste for someone who knows little about watches she is smart...
150km of pure bliss I’m sure! 😀
Can’t wait to see your ride and hopefully before Christmas!
I’m hoping for you that he does not 🤞🏻
Perhaps you’ll introduce me to her the next time we meet 😊
A nice berlinette !
How not to understand your enthusiasm for this car ... A nice and technical toy. For me, the quest for absolute power is turning absurd these days ... and from that point of view the Alpine A110 offers a welcome breath. Precise and efficient chassis ... h...
Drooooolsss!!!
I love the colour Nico!!! Cool grey paintwork on a fast ride... pure class my dear friend 😍 Goes well with either a set of red, orange or perhaps yellow BBKs!!! Can’t wait to to see it done up 🙌🏻
Ok, I will tell you: First of all, other rims. Then, bigger brakes, and stiffer suspensions, but not too stiff, though, as it will be my daily driver. Ah, and the basic, a good air filter.
And that's all. But first of all, the rims, the air filter. We'll see for the suspensions ( Ohlins or KW ) and the bigger brakes a bit later. I have the feeling I will do the brakes first...
If I may dear friend..
If you’re getting the brakes upgraded first, just make sure the new rims (for later change/upgrade) fitting will clear your BBKs. As for suspensions, both brands you mentioned are good. Try getting those that are serviceable. K
I did my homework for the brakes / rims combination, of course. Now I am still studying the suspensions. The best comfort / efficiency combination... And it is not that easy.
Then I will have to play on the symmetry... But first things first, the rims, then the brakes.
Good plan Nico!
BBS should have some good lightweight options. There are also those magnesium alloy rims. It’s super lightweight but costly though 😣
BBS are now manufactured in Japan
I don’t know how that came about or the corporate arrangements though. OZs are a good choice Nico. They have an impressive racing heritage! And for your intended setup, those weight savings numbers are very impressive too. I’m guessing the only issue is p...
The OZ light rims are about 8 Kilos each. The Fuchs which is known for its lightness is 9, 1 to 9, 5 kilos each. An OEM rim is about 10, 5 kilos. Now you are right...
The design is limited. That's why I am trying to find a solution to get the GT RACE rims of the A 110S. They are not as light as the Fuchs, but the design is more my taste. Dilemmas...
For GT RACE type of wheels, you’ll have lots of design options
to name a few, there’s RAYS, NISMO (5 or 6 spokes) and one of my fav is the Yokohama Advan Racing GT. The Advan comes with many colours too!
These rims look the part Nico!
Matt black rims goes well with grey sports cars! 😬😃 And not forgetting, with red BBKs!!! 🙌🏻😍 ...
Great!
Thanks for the pic. Tried it once. Rather expensive here. Can imagine you driving through Swiss watch valleys😁
A colleague wanted to lease one.
Very bad conditions. Hence he got a Porsche on better terms.
Leasing ....
... i hate that system. Renting is for me a better system, what you pay depends on the actual price of the car. Leasing a big Audi is cheaper than leasing a simple Renault ... imagine 🙄. Actually it’s quite ironic the A110 is more expensive to lease than ...
