Rich, what was the subject of the first of these links? It's coming up with a message telling me that the link "doesn't exist", :idea: is it a voucher for a weekend away at a luxurious resort near Dallas - the one up by Kinloss, not one of the many to copy its name - with inclusive, unlimited access to a range of sporting activities such as hide & seek, pass the parcel bomb and that old favourite from South Carolina; bury the president's hair? Or is it an ironic suggestion, based around whichever sort of vehicle I'm least likely to be able to use as personal transport on account of its access points being better suited to smaller, more bendy people?
:lol:

That Benz in the second link had caught my eye a while back, it's said to be rust free, so what's causing that blistering highlighted in one of the pictures? Acne? Herpes? What? Its brutally practical "styling" appeals to my taste, or is it just severely bruised following its fall from the top branch of the ugly tree? I quite like my neighbourhood, so have no desire to pollute it with ambulances!
:scared:

That CA could do with a little spot of polish but some brave soul will take on the task. Won't they? :( I hope it ends up restored.

I see that the person selling that black thing says that there are
BETTER PICTURES TO FOLLOW
Well there's a relief, for a moment there I thought that the car was actually that ugly!
:sick:

Mmm.. :drool: indeed! There's a lot to like about the way in which a decent Picasso drives, but that one has a slight dent so I'm out.
Have they modified the bonnet? It looks different but I'm not seeing how. ;)

By 'eck man, you're picking some cracking cars here, and am I alone in thinking that the loft conversion on the DS actually makes the car even better to look at?

However, if anyone could perhaps fake up an artist's impression of a Metrocab - Reliant badged variety - with a similar extension to its roof, that would really help me to get the Stella radio sorted before one of us dies!
