I'm sorry Wicksy I don't have a cool last name like you.
I wouldn't mind lowering it with a new set of mags and a respray with a bit of purple pearl but can't really complain for a first car.

Awesome spot out there for some pics, took some myself out there at night not long ago but.. I didnt have a tripod so they turned out pretty crusty.. BAH!

Yeah 2 grand with like 130000ks on it and only thing wrong with it is been setting in the sun its whole life.


Yeah mine must of spent its earlier years in the sun too, red just goes so crap in the sun, I swear my car was pink when I bought it not too mention the top of the steering wheel being crusty (still looking for replacement) :o , looking back at photos now I cant believe how pathetic it looked, couple of light cut and polishes and a good wax fixed that and it now actually looks 'red'.

Haha gee! Thats nearly or probably was as bad as mine, I hated seeing that obvious colour difference between the plastic and metal works. Satisfying after a bit of work to see that shine though :D .
