Trevor, with the effort and attention that you put into your car it would be admired even if it was Cow-shite brown

(no disrespect to anyone who may still own a Russet brown BL car of the 1970's)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

When I were a lad, most of my cars were russet brown, eventually, even if they were a different colour to start with
