I spoke to the bloke that owned it at the car show.
He said that it sarted out as a really good original car... crapped on and on about how much better it is now its all hacked up.

Lets just say a car matches it owner 9 out of 10 times :wink:

beauty & the beast

Post by mattymartin »

hey guys,

it was the noise his thing made that caught my attention firstly... it sounded real nioce...

i'm also not a fan of the flutes in the guards or those simmons... & the cokpit seems a little weird looking for my liking. keep it simple i say, keeping the original line the car is renown for in the first place...

The words to live by "You gotta know when to hold em " ," Know when to fold em" ,"Know when to walk away and know when to run"
Were written by the guy standing next to the open door .

Could well be the owner because the car is an 80s style and so is the dress code :) .
BUT IM NOT WHINGING LIKE THE REST OF YOU , Another classic saved from the scrap heap is fine by me and with a bit of luck one day the cars like this that have all the good gear and hard work done will slip into your own hands and you can be proud of changing it to suit your own style , Then Kenny will be whinging about it :roll:

Nah, I think you have put a little more thought into what you're doing Mal.

But then again opinions are like you know what, everyone has one :roll:
