Well, that's a nice welcome to a new contributor. The guy was invited to post a picture of his car and you dump on it. What gives?
Then you ask someone else to post a picture of their car ? Jeesh ! It amazes me how some people have no respect or manners just because they're sitting behind a computer screen. I think the car looks good.

First of all I did not dump on his car, RE READ WHAT I WROTE AGAIN, maybe find yourself some glasses first.

In the first line I offered a personal opinion about the fact I think those gs stripes dont look right on ANY XC, not that one in particular and in the second line I said it has a great looking paint job, put the 2 together properly and you get me saying its a good looking paint job, but the strips spoils that good lookin paint job some IMHO.

Next time before you post son, read what I said properly, and if you dont like my personal opinion, either keep it to yourself or PM me about it, and then and we wont need to see stupid remarks like yours clogging up the forum. OK?

I've actually got two XB Coupes although neither are on the road and are not likely to be for around five years I would imagine.

I've got a shed load of cars to restore before I get to the coupes.

One of the coupes is only for spares too so it will not see the road again.

Both are 302/auto Fairmonts in Apollo Blue with off white trim and only 4 numbers apart off the production line.

Like I said, shocking manners. Enough of the chest thumping, you're right this doesn't belong here on this register or in any forum. Maybe you can chill out.
My final word, not intersted in online tiffs, apologies to everyone else.

Well if what you said above was the case, why did you write that shockin load of diatribe and drivel then. Did you not like being caught out as someone who didn't read what was said properly, and then ran their mouth out of place. As for what you think of my manners, I couldn't give a toss. Maybe when you have a few more posts up and learn how stuff works here, you will think before you write. As for being chilled out and relaxed, I am well and truly there son.

Second is a Xb gs coupe with no engine and waiting for hardcore rebuild .
Both in Wa .
Nice work on the lists
