Car looks pretty stunning to me
Especially liking the pic with the mountain behind the car and the sun rays coming down.
Top quality cameraman-ing lol.
Will have to visit there when I go up and see my parents next.
How did the car run? any probs?

cheers mate, thts my favourite pic too! car was fine thank fuck, excuse my language but woulda been pretty scary braking down on my own all that way from home and pretty much 3 miles or so from any decent civilisation. one question for you does your car use a lot of oil wen you giv it sum! when i drive normal and slow its fine dont use a drop when i give it a bit of shit lol sometimes it drinks it

Mine doesn't drink a drop, never needs a top up between oil changes of approx 5000 miles, but I do keep an eye on it to make sure.

I cant say ive noticed my car drinking any oil, but then I dont give it much chance to drop really, had the car almost four months, and changed the oil twice. lol.
Sorry I cant be of any help on that one buddy. I dont know what it could be either tbh.
Give it a bit of a service, and see how it goes then??
I know what you mean, Ive got breakdown cover, but when you get past camarthen kinda way, how the hell are you supposed to explain where you are? lol.

sounds good to me, hope it does fix it for you though.
Shit my load last night, was going to work, coming from sainsburys way, and on the roundabout at the top of litchard i put the anchors on, and skidded for fooking ages.
There was a car on my inside too!! I ended up stopped in the middle of the roundabout lanes at one hell of an angle!!!! just glad the other car stopped and i didnt end up on the roundabout!! lol.
What you getting colour coded then? all the plastic? or just certain bits?
