Just read this from the start and its awesome. Really inspiring, especially as some of the plans are along the lines of what i had in mind.
Think I've seen this before, either on retro-rides or driftworks.

That must be some yet unknown medical condition for sure :lol: Congrats from baaS, those convertibles are quite pleasant to eye, however it probably won't spend lot of time top down in UK's weather :| Let's hope next summer offers some nice open top weather for there too :D

Isn't that imperial blue pretty close to colour of 2dr 300 project of Adam(? I'm crap with names, sorryyy) has under works? It is however very good choice of paint, Volvo's ocean race blue is quite ok too, but it is bit too light, darker shade of imperial blue suits better, imo.

Go to surgery, better sooner than later, hopefully you get finger fixed as fast as you get new cars :mrgreen:
