Rancid isn't it? I've been following that thread on DMCtalk!

To deviate off topic very quickly - Mike am I right in thinking you've got a stainless exhaust? How intrusive is it on the motorway?


Re: Blimey ... now that is white !!! - bozzzydmc - 02 Apr 2009

Exhaust yes its been on about a year now.... its actually very quiet on the motorway ... im my view no louder than stock....I had someone else drive my car the other week first time i have heard the exhaust from outside the car .. tis a nice sound Smile

think the previous owner of that got a bit happy with the sticky label machine inside !!! :lol:

Why label everything up?? He must of known what the switches did in order to make the labels.... :roll:

I thought the one on the heater was most funny though, its got a red and blue band on a nob, what else could it possibly be :lol:

He's missing a few

'Gear Stick'
'Steering Wheel'
'Glove Box'

:lol:

hi

to get back to stock, would take a while to get that paint off, and a Chris N rebrush.

then the next 5 years getting the sticky lables off, and repairing the damage, unfaded underneath!.

it is a tricky one, remembering where all your controls are!. perhaps he was a pilot.

he forgot 'steering wheel', 'gearstick', and 'pedals' maybe.

then seats, door, engine and one to lean out of the window and have it running as you drive, road or tarmac!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was looking at buying a white car in Belgium back in the late '90ies. It was a grey manual in need of work, but I was put off when the guy started jacking the car up by the oil sump! I put an offer in but he declined it.

Hey Nick is your avatar your new look or what your aiming for Mr Green

He must have run out of tipex before he did the louvres......

I am intrigued by the 'drive' switch tho.

I cant remember where Chris but someone was talking about that car very recently, I even saw a photo of it.

I think it was Dmctalk.

The outside looks like a model kit.

The inside looks like the instructions to a model kit.


Bewildering.
