On Thursday, after going to car museum, saw this on roads around corner.  And yes, it had 53 on doors...

They have the battered one from the start of the latest remake and they have the new one arriving soon from the latest Lindsay Lohan film.

I think this one lives round the corner from me in Carlisle - cos I saw a restoration project a few months back just waiting for the "53's" to be added.

Some people are sad about their cars  ;)

I've had to polish all your mucky handprints off the exhaust - it's silver and shiney now - just the way I like it :P

Just a pity about all the clamps fitted to it! I wonder if that's why it's still sitting a bit low at the back!!  ::)  ;D  ;D  ;D
