today was about the onlt Free day i've had when i can spens some quality time with my car. Amanda was going to the hair dressers.. i have to pick her up and drop her off (the sooner she drives the bettter! LoL)
so Cleaned the inside...still have the seats to clean (funny stains over them...no doubt Kebab and milkshake stains) then attacked the out side..Mer'd it up..then it drizzled so when to take Amada to get her hair done..when i got back it had dried the rain off the car..the weathered had brightened..so i polished all the Mer off!
Did the plastic trim etc etc...very please with the results..as i've not properly cleaned the car since Trax!!!..and being parked out all the time..the body needed a good rubbin!
Cus I'm sad..i went off to take some december pix of the car..
taken on mi new Kyocera FineCam S3L (3.2 Mega Pixel) Digi Camera
i tok them at 2048x1536 Fine Res (about 1.6MB)...then reducded them down to 450x337 which goes between 84-90KB's..this posts ok then.

What you think to the results? i'm pleased...Red does polish up so well!







what Res do you lot Post pix in?

Nice...red is often under estimated. Mines a red mica saloon, don't see too many around.

If you can, get the side skirts and rear skirts colour coded. Had mine done when I bought the car...makes it look even better and gives the illusion of being lowered...

Regards

Very nice dude!!!

Those rims look like my old ones.....LENSO RS5's

Do you Pommies get LENSO over there? LOL

That was the brand used in the "Fast & the Furious" if anyone wants to know.

There Team Dynamic wheels Rim2000's may be they are a copy of the Lenso thingies

Paul

Looks like you've got a nice little camera there Phil

Top shots could do with a little more light but they do look nice and clear. I normally post pics at 640x480 as they seem to fit about right on the page.

Have you got any full daylight shots?

You should start negotiating for a commercial tie-in for Fast & Furious III and give those Hondas a run for their money. Your neons look like straight out from the movie set.

very northern irish m8.

had it about '92...mum treated me to it...not really had anything else...uptill now..new digi camera this christmas !
back in the mid 80's you picked up FIL plates for £99
mine in '92 was around 500.
i saw FIL976 4sale last year at £1275!!!
you can get FIL with 4digits after it for £600ish

think its better than money in the bank IMHO
