Man...tell me you're joking?! Did you raid all of Halford's stock?! :-P Joshing aside, my flatmate had nightrider LEDs in the grille of his Micra...actually looked kinda cool in a geeky kinda way!

Could I have the number of the guy who was selling that 360 with leather and AC please?

cheers

Old topic but now I've found a name for the GLT: Sheryl :lol:

Why 'Sheryl'? Just because there was a song from Sheryl Crow on the radio when I was thinking about that...

Ooh, just looked her up. She is fairly cute in a too-old-for-me kinda way :)

Nessy is also supposed to be spelled Nessie, I believe, but I've got so used to Nessy that Nessie looks wrong!

cheers

She's only 27?!? Never underestimate the charms of an older woman. Not that she’s really my type. :wink:

Anyhow:

E346 AFE = Affie
G73 SAU = Sauasage
F617 ORY = Rory

The 360 is called smokey because of da numberplate (SMO 58Y) and i havent thought of a name for the 340 (B980 EAV, any ideas?)

Sorry to be an anorak but the original KARR in knightrider was black and then resprayed 2tone when somebody "rescued" it from the beach in the 2nd series. I gotta stop borrrowing box sets! :oops:
B980EAV '85 340 GL
SMO58Y '83 360 GLS
VK06FKP '06 Suzuki Swift 1.5 5dr
N62NTG '96 Ford Mondeo 1.8TD



And only 2 of them are on the road :(
