Looking good - I understand the sun in Germany gives a better shine on white cars though - you'll have to bring it out so we can test the theory!

He wont take it! Bloody thing wont make it out of the road. No brake's & to old. Take the Merc it will be better for your poor old back. Just think of the luxury climate control & all that metal around you just in case you meet another horned mamal. + it will save me having to pass yet another Scooby
