Shouldn't the sticker under the rear number plate read 'Caution, Helen driving' ?

Just need to pull those arches out a touch

Its your car now so don't have to apologise to me. If you'd asked me I could have given you the genuine Gulf logos - both large and small!

darn!

never mind we thought maybe doing the whole gulf logo thing would be too much anyway.

How many nerdie points do I get for spotting that the 2.3 badge is from a Mk 5 C**tina ?

None at all - in fact you get 20 minus points because its a genuine Porsche badge (well 2 actually). The base badge is the 2.0 litre 914 badge where the '.0' has been replaced by 2/3 of the upside down 'E' from a 911E badge to produce 2.3!

Crawls back under rock, sells 914, and dies !! Oh the shame.
Is that what you call badge engineering ?
