You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Well I have received a picture of a painted bumper - but you know how it is - you get all excited - then the phone goes before you can upload it......

I will say one thing - my username isn't very appropriate any more.

But are you sure it's your bumper?

Metallic Green?

Did they discover it's not a '69?

I'm looking forward to the username change request.

Apparently they are only available now in return for a generous donation to 10 for 10

You've changed your position & Popeye is happier?

I think I'll keep the username for sentimental reasons - and still happy to contribute to "10 for 10" as punishment for my great sin. And who knows - I'll probably change it back to Olive in a couple of weeks!

Have just been on the phone to Porsche. They were prep'ing for paint this afternoon. Was slightly worried about getting a "Friday afternoon rush job" and managed to persuade them to defer till Monday when I'll go in to watch.

I sneaked in and took a spy shot – they've made a few other changes, too, but reckoned Olive still looked the best...

Olive looks so cooool

So have we to wait until Monday now?

Sneak preview??
