A cool car and such a nice young man who drives it

A contribution to the fanzine would be wonderful Tom

Worryingly I totally agree with Cubist.
It always looks soooooo good it'd be a shame to lose all that patina.

well cubist, if you'd care to swap doors I'd be delighted

I know what you guys mean, and I am usually adverse to painting cars (they were painted at the factory don't you know) but I need to do some body work at some point so rather than more patchy silver and overspray, I'm thinking of blinging it up a bit, be patient though, I'm talking in a couple of years or so
