you were the inspiration for that redline, I'm going along the same line as the avatar picture I use, the cops wanted to check my vehicle for roadworthiness, just so happened I had my Mot and Insurance with me, I think I may become 'known' in the old girl as she isn't as inconspicuose as she once was,

Well rear bumper today and sides, should be fun!

just go down your local nick and ask a traffic officer to give the car the once over and get him to pass the word round that the car is safe to save you and them time , mention things like police harrassment ( in a nice way ) then they might leave you alone


I think we have a replacement here for Stuart (special ) who, in case anyone is new or has forgotten , moved on to pastures new with a
cavalier.

his famous motto

"dare to be different"

lives on , the force is strong in this one obi-wan

Excellent work on the 200! Very nice indeed.
Carl wrote:(Re. Prancing Moose stickers)Hehehe those things are excellent! Could we organise a bulk order on them, coz I fancy some stickers for Fioner, and I'm sure there are others that wouldnt say no.
I contacted the guy in America. No discounts, but a flat $5 delivery charge whatever the quantity.

Near Lenton. Yes, definitely near Lenton. West Bridgford to be precise.

James, you once kindly suggested that we could meet so that I could have a peek at your audio system. Any chance of a low-key East Midlands get-together?

Cheers,

Gavin.

I actually quite like it!!! As a thought grill wise mate, why not get hold of a 740 Turbo grill and make a black egg crate grill or the 240!!! That would be different!!!!
