I really like it man. Its quite low but its looks great. How does it ride at that height, handle heaps better? Does it rub at all on those big wheels?

Wowzers!
It looks so right, I don't know why but it looks excellent. Usually I'd say classic rims for a monza, but this is an exception.

I had someone trying to tell me the Cally was made in some middle east country - so I pointed out the German chassis plate - even then he didn't seem convinced!

People like that need to get wrapped round the ears with a timing belt. I'm sick of arguing with 'know it alls' about this sort of thing.

Always seems to come from people who have never owned one yet call themselves enthusiasts. Does my nut.

Have you not got any on your spares car, Michael? I thought I saw some on that one when I went to your parents place to take some pics at one time.

Just had a look at these plates, Michael. Are they to use instead of your NZ ones on the road, or to display over the top when car is on display at shows? Interested to know if they're legal if you're stopped for a roadside check....or for WOF......??

European front plates are white and rear plates are yellow, while new NZ ones are all white. The difference seems to be that NZTA claims to own the standard number plates that are issued here .... although you can buy your own personalised plate too.... what a mess!
