What do you call

Post by OapEM » 11 Jan 2009 08:29 pm

the slatted louvre type things you can get to go over the rear window? IIRC I seen one on a car on this site.

I wouldn't mind one myself to see how it would look. I assume they were a dealer option and as such are quite hard to get these days?

Window slats is the best I can come up with :S lol

Really?
only seen pics but it always looked like a good spread to me. Yanks, classics, rats and sleepers etc.
Theyre doing another one Washingington way on the 24th i think, but youve probly already seen the thread eh?
Im still waitin on a test date so am pretty much ruled by lazy tunt mates who'll agree/pull out at the last minute to come and sit in the passanger seat with a licence, looking bored while i rock round.
i.e. Im nee good for nowt.

8 weeks to go.

If i fail, I may commit hare krishna.

Ah man that looks class, cool colour defo! His 345's as old as the 340 on OFAH 8) Pringles here I come with my fingers crossed lol. The Dusty Drifter has many a name, i could just imagine it sitting in the old boys garage in a 'barn find' type of scenario yet no as exciting when you opened the garage door lol

Water goes in homosexuals from little bottles in the gym, and oil goes in itallian mens hair.
Easy.
