Think they do, seen some others in for that a while back.

May need to be thorough on explaining the level of prep that you want done though
Have learned that before: "please repair the arches on this Puma properly" = quick skim of filler and spray without masking so there is overspray all over the arch liners. What I should have said (but thought "properly" covered it) was "please cut out all the rust, let in new metal, prep properly and paint"

The orange 650S driving through Laindon today certainly stood out. Assume the owner is Brad, going by the plate smile

Followed a yellow Lambo Huracan all the way down the Thanet way and the M2 london bound on Friday afternoon, looked very nice, not seen one in real life before and it looks much better in real life than photos. Shame he had to spoil it by driving like a 'tard and cutting across 2 lanes of traffic and the hatching without indicating to come off at the A249...

Few interesting spots in quick succession this morning in Galleywood / Chelmsford: black pre-war Austin - not sure of the model but looked like a larger "7" with four doors; silver 964 Cab and a black Citroen BX shortly afterwards.

Yesterday evening spotted a White Lamborghini Aventador driving into Colchester on the A134 going under the A12 at about 18:15.
Looked great.

Was dropping off a mate to pick up his van from that garage near the station, then got lost down the back roads. Hadn't been to Laindon for a long time, didn't know where I was!

Truth be told, I thought you were an angry biker that I'd somehow pissed off pulling up at my window, so I was just looking ahead hehe

A few times last week I saw a white with, (I think) brown vinyl roof, stretched Mk2 Ford Granada around Maidstone / Linton.

As it was dark and I was driving I couldn't quite make out if it was a six door version or not.

Spotted this oddity near Maidstone town centre this morning (and yes, I know my phone is crap!).





It's a DC Avanti.
Made in India with a Renault 2.0 litre turbo engine.

It was certainly quite striking!

It had me stumped until I googled it.

What a car - it reminded me of Giugiaro's quote at his visit to the 1975 Geneva Motor Show.

Having inspected the creased side styling of the new Triumph TR7 he wandered around the car and shrieked "Oh my God, they've done it to the other side as well !"...

It's not your phone that's crap, it really does look that bad!
