The article was something to do with me!

However, you may have noticed Andrew never mentions the GTA once in the article, that's because he hasn't heard of them! Dohh!!!! Even the stats were wrong. Bloody journo's!

I think you are getting your Andrews mixed up, I didn't write the article, I was merely pointing it out, as I found it in the magazine. :lol:

You say the article was something to do with you, how were you involved ? Did you supply info for the article ?

The wheels are AZEV C Type 7.5 J x 16 on the front fitted with 215x40x16 tyres.

The rears are AZEV C Type 10 J x 17 with 265x40x17 tyres.

If you contact David Gentleman he should be able to fix you up with a set.

:D

I know you didn't write it! I meant Andrew Frankel!

Basically, my mate is the picture editor for the Sunday Times and Knows the above said 'Andrew'. He was talking to him about my GTA the other day and he didn't know what it was but was praising the A610.
