Fair play!

Looks like you're being extremely thorough. Love the RS2000 look too, those were some sweet cars.

Wow. Ford UK is WAY better than Ford US=) Love the way this thing looks

Whoa now. I don't know if I'd go that far. They got lots of fun toys we didn't, but we got the heavy hitters.

...I could be biased though.

I'am form Bielsko-Biała (south of Poland). This region is called "beskidy" - mountains, lakes, forests and the best - a lot of winding roads ;}

I had some free time so I painted rims for my BMW too

This is great! My parents had one just like this, in the exact same color, but it was stock... I always wondered how one of these would look dropped on some nice wheels. Good job!
