Evidently very well. Managed a 71% average so passed with First Class Honors.

Graduation is in the middle of next month. Enjoying my summer for now, thinking of buying a set of rims but am stuck on what to buy. Thinking of some 225Ms painted black or some black CSLs (with tyres) are there any around??

Thinking of more important things atm such as going to Riley's and watching the game today...hope England get through.

[QUOTE=SiKkBaSs;7548347]Evidently very well. Managed a 71% average so passed with First Class Honors.

I'm guessing your degree was not in English or you may have passed with First Class HONOURS.

Did you guys not graduate...? Good to see this forum hasn't changed

It is Honors, a lot of university lingo is adopted from the US system for some reason:

It is not "honors". You are seriously suggesting that British Universities that are centuries older than the US adopted their parlance ????

It is Honours, at least that is what I have.

Better link :

I just keep seeing it written as Honors for some reason. Some literature I've been reading off of uses the latin honors system which the US adopted as do some European countries (explains my misinformation), however the link you posted seems to clear it up and therefore stand corrected.

FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_honors

Hope it's written as "Honours" on my certificate.

Thanks Paul.

Meh I want black ones, but it's hard finding a decent set for a decent price, plus the fact my father prefers the idea of me having RFTs for peace of mind (for my safety). Can't really persuade him that non-RFTs are the way to go.

So probably most likely looking at a set of 225Ms with RFTs and then painting them black eventually, any thoughts?

You got your new rims yet? What are they like...they looked great in demo pics...
