    Yes that was me. Cheeky beggar - it gleamed and you know it did. I'd washed it earlier and all the black was done too. Must admit I didn't do the tyres this time. You local to Cambridge?

    Sorry Gaz, no entertainment, I won't be executing him (yet).

    Yes, I live in town and knew it must be you as soon as I saw the car.
    And yes, it was gleaming. [:D]

    I'm the owner of this one, which you may see out and about again soon. Right colour too!

    Oh yes, right colour and wheels! I'm in Fenstanton, are you in Fendubbers perchance? You need some more black trim on that car. Gizza flash if you see me again (hahaha just realised what I said, it won't be anything I ain't seen before).

    So, Matt wants to know if I am fit - well am I???? Am 5'8" and almost 10 stone, the extra stone came with age. Physically fitter than most, all the outdoor stuff keeps me that way, I never let up.

    Did frequent Fendubbers for a bit but not quite my scene, for want of a better word. Went to one meet and I got a load of 'you need to slam it mate'. Didn't go back.
    Has it changed?

    Haha Paul, good to see you have eaten your words regarding gleaming. So......... how did you know it was lil ole me? Look up the photos for no plate on here did you or was it "what's the hell she doing in that"?

    You cheeky sod Pigs! Ask Paul seeing he was the one who spotted me (well the car, far more important than me). I don't care how many insults you throw, I find them funny.

    Paul, not done a meet yet but will suck it and see when weather is better, don't take car out when there is all the crap on the road. Intend just to go and say hello to them then let them get on with their own thing, no doubt they wouldn't want me hanging around for long. When are you going to get the rest of the trim for the side of your car? Although I did wash it (for the first time since resto, before that the guys on A14 didn't think much to it when I made them use hose pipe rather than pressure washer even though 2 coats of primer, 3 of paint, 2 lacquer and Supaguard to clean it) my lovely dealers have told me to take it back to them when it's dirty, sit and have tea whilst it's being done, how nice is that?

    Knew it was you as you've had a photo of yourself up on here, and there can't be that many mint small bumper MKII's around here!

    Was only pulling your leg about the cleanliness of your car, gotta stop making tongue in cheek comments, keeps getting me in trouble on here. [:s]

    What trim am I missing, or are you pulling mine too?
