Very very nice, looks great in that color.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Those wheels look as if they're brand new, and the shine.  8-)

Andy just curious did'nt see a ticket in your windscreen for the car park, you did'nt get a fine did you? oh and noticed that the background in the outside photo is similar to billing, but noticed a Ford Cabriolet next to your omega, obviously not the VBOA.

The grass photo was Trax 2006, we were behind the bleachers next to the club area, looking out towards Brooklands.

And there's a couple of funny stories to the multistorey shots.  First of all, the security guard comes over, worried I was taking pictures because of an accident and was about to sue his employers.  Once I'd explained that the light worked well for emphasising the paint, and the white offered good contrast against dark paintwork, he was happy.

Slightly less happy were the two policemen who pulled in about ten minutes later.  One of them went to run his PNC check on I R M S...

Despite my pointing out they were blatantly show plates (on private property, hence nothing they could do about it...) he still looked at me suspiciously, and seemed rather surprised to discover legal plates underneath the Irmscher ones.  Almost as if he'd never seen blu-tak before!

It's a Rover Cabriolet... ;)

You can redeem yourself if you can identify the MPV parked behind the Omega though! ;D

You can have 1/4 point for that.  It's a bit special (even though the paintwork is knackered!), so if you can describe it that'll be good enough!

Andy, What future plans have you got for the barge?  
Exterior is done for the minute, unless I can find the Irmscher skirts and rear bumper for less than VX prices!  I want a turbo engine in it, but it's an auto, so the swap it out idea is expensive because it requires manual box, new pedal box, manual ECU, etc.  Regal did mention about adding a turbo to the existing block, and I'm looking into the Ecotec Supercharged 4 pots the US has in their Chevrolets et al.

If I can find a leather interior for it, that would be a good addition.  If I can find out where I need to wire in the fogs to so they work, that would be excellent too! Maybe some adjustable Koni yellows when the existing shocks give up the ghost.  I've seen the exhaust I want, and have an idea or two about the engine, but they're fluid plans because I just applied for my first mortgage this morning, and there was some scary numbers in amongst them!

YEAH I HAVE TO AGREE iT IS A VERY SPECIAL mpv, I'll accept the 1/4 point, and leave the rest down to fate, as I am not really up on foreign mpv's.

It's called a GT Resort.  Evo 3 running gear with a MPV shell.  Rare on the UK roads, so my mate enjoys beating the Saxos, Corsas, etc that try it on!

Not bad at all, although I did manage to spot a non-descript section of dual carriageway in Peterborough in a camera technique book yesterday ;)
