I don't know what you mean Paul.... :whistle:
As you can see I started on the back one back in 2015 but haven't touched it since :lol:

I need to find a better way of doing it as before I was doing it all by hand - might go at it with a sanding disc on the angle grinder actually.....

I recognise the place, that's just outside that new massage parlour that's opened up in the centre of Buckinghamshire :)

Love the colour Danny. And the car too, looks like you can drive and have as much enjoyment and fun as you like, with a few little jobs to do as and when you feel like it. Much the same as me really.

Enjoy it.

My car has been snapped a few times too. I was on the motorway once when a car kept pulling up alongside, pulling forward, dropping back, I was expecting trouble, then a woman lent out of the passenger window with her phone/camera and took pics. Either of the car, or of me, can't quite decide.

Best massage parlour in the county! ;)

Yeah the colour isn't like anything I've seen before to be honest - I've certainly never seen another in this colour so far anyways!
I do have a list as long as my arm for all of the cars but as with everything it all boils down to time and money, the two things I have the least of!!

Haha yep that's me!
I used to have two pairs that matched so each side had a matching pair, but some plonker broke one when changing the tyres and cracked one on the other side 🙄

Original ford wheel trims are now silly money so I just live with it haha

Just chatting to Alice and she reckons she has seen the chap there a few times as well so would be interested to see if there are any other fiestas on his page 😂

You'll probably have the good fortune of being too young to understand the reference, Danny!
So for your benefit....

Unfortunately for Alice (and also me by extension) everyone under the sun says this at some point so whilst I don't know the song first hand I'm aware of it's existence 😂
