HF3000 in kit magazine?

[Chris J]

What magazine featured the red Hawk demonstrator and the yellow car (was it Bob's), a year or two ago?

My car was photographed before I picked it up and was featured in an article soon after back in 2005. Is this a new article then?.

Bob, that's the one. It's nothing new, I didn't buy it and I can't remember which issue or what magazine it was? 2005 sounds about right.

[Bob]

It was Kit Car magazine, not sure what month though.

[Chris J]

Thanks Bob, that narrows it down a bit.

I'll try and get a copy, but if I get stuck I'll get back to you. Thanks very much for the offer.

What I want is to see a car with 8" coffin spokes all round and the correct tyres (sidewall height etc.) I'm thinking 225 rear 205 front or a TB similar size?

The pictures of mine are with 8" F&R, 225.45 rear and 205.50 front. Revolutions though, not coffins.

Thanks Chris,

I'm after something with a rolling diameter similar to this:

I wonder what size tyres are on the rear of that one?

My car has 225 55 size rears at the moment. The section of these tyres has quite a narrow tread pattern. The tread is actually no wider than the the 205s on the front, but the sides bulge out to the full 225 section. They're sort of 'balloon' shaped.
