Still not a fail. You pay for the paint job, he throws in the car for free. Win win win. No wait, it's an EA. fail fail fail.

Having a little Seat (that's pronounced see-at) would be heaps of fun!

Can't say I'd have the wheels though.

That yellow and green do not go together nicely at all. Perhaps the owner is colour blind but doesn't know it.

I reckon you're right. And from memory it was the shell, because if my childhood memory serves me correctly it used to be painted up in the red/yellow colours of the shell servo there.

I always wondered where it got to!

The only good three spoke rims are the original Viper ones././

4 spokes one the old Escorts look good too, but generally thats it.

But thats as low as you should go...2 spoke is awesomely stupid looking.
