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?

Bet you could sell it to one of their players for an obscene amount - they've all got more money than sense.

Not too far from you either - just park up outside the ground, for sale sign in the window, train home with a pocket full of wonga, jobsagoodun. 8)

great car -- funky paint! I'd vote it detracts from the car, is more likely to get tickets, and lowers the sale price

but I'd still jump in and drive it! I'd just pull the ballcap visor down low to hide my identity :-D

Those are nearly the team colours of the old Jacksonville Bulls USFL franchise; but of course I'm just stating the obvious as everyone in the UK already knows that! Back in 1984/85 you would have been right-popular in J-ville. Shoot, even today people would love it/you/the-car. Football is God in North Florida! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville_Bulls
The Bulls were an undisputed success at the gate, running away with the league's attendance lead. They notched the only two crowds of 70,000 or greater in league history. The 1985 Bulls were the first team in professional football history to simultaneously have the winners of three different Heisman Trophies on its roster.

And you can't make a metallic grey car look interesting by painting a couple of stripes down it, can you Chris? :wink:

Yep, it's going back to pretty much it's original silver (may keep the red scoop/mirrors as it breaks the silver up a bit)

It's great fun to drive but I've only met one person who likes the colours as they are!
