I think Doug has his wife's for sale at present - virtually a twin, but has very high spec....

Pretty little car like that can do whatever it likes, Footers. Anyway, it isn't parked parked, it is posing for the shots. I doubt even Amanda would leave her car parked across three bays. Then again... :bigblink: :assflash:

I'm colourblind and can tell that isn't the same colour. That's Mugello, Dave. This mauritius car is a one off, hence why I bumped the thread. :thumbs:

Yep.

I was going to buy it when it was up a year or two back but the insurance company laughed at me. It is 600 BHP, has Wagners, uprated ARBs, the lot, the only thing I don't like is that nasty steering wheel from a VW Golf.

Yup, if you are blind and your body doesn't interpret tactile feedback properly ;). While it does seem annoying and pikey to have to stretch to adjust the stereo etc, I'll take that any day of the week to keep the clearly superior (to people not lacking in taste at least) fatboy 3 spoke. Kisses.

^^ What he said :D
Don't think I even turned the engine off - fortuned across an empty car park, took a few shots and then left (so more like the "eats shoots and leaves" type of panda :roll: ).

Lovely colour that. The B5 had a similar colour, denim IIRC. It suits the C5 better.

Wife & kids are away and I'm sure I had a long list of chores to complete, but only seem to be able to remember one - "wash cars" :bigblink:

Very nice Nick. I only managed to give my car a quick wash. The missus wanted my daugther to help me but I declined the offer, she kept dropping the sponge mitt on the floor :shock:
