It was the first car I ever damaged. I ran into the gas meter whilst driving it back and forward on the starter motor. I wonder how it survived.
I used Simca Vedette wheels on my GTR Torana when I raced as they were 15" rims that fitted early Holdens and were affordable and allowed us to have a much wider wheel than the opposition for a little while.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
