As you all know, my car's colour is not the most striking (although i kind of like it like that) and I just wondered whether it would look right if I added some Cobra style stripes.

Anyone seen a Chim with these stripes on? How do you reckon it would look?

Couldn't resist this.

I just found this dictionary definition of Chimaera:


CHIMAERA [chimaera] , cartilaginous marine fish, related to the sharks. Also called ratfishes, chimaeras are found in temperate oceans throughout the world, mostly in deep water. They have large heads, long, thin, ratlike tails, and large, fanlike pectoral fins. In many species there is a poison spine in front of the first dorsal fin. Their slippery skins are black, gray, or silver, often with stripes or spots. The largest reach a length of about 6 1/2 ft (2 m). Chimaeras resemble sharks in certain fundamental respects: They have cartilage skeletons, males have claspers for internal fertilization of females, and females lay eggs encased in leathery cases. However, they resemble the bony fishes in having the upper jaw fused to the skull, the gill slits opening into a single chamber, a bony covering, or operculum, over the gill slits, and separate anal and urogenital openings. A distinctive feature of chimaeras is the presence of extra claspers in the male, one in front of each pelvic fin and a prominent one on the forehead. The function of these appendages is not known, but they are thought to play a role in courtship. Chimaeras form the subclass Holocephali of the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Chondrichthyes. (source: www.encyclopedia.com/html/c/chimaera.asp)

It looks like my car is destined for stripes.

Now, where can I get a copy of photoshop and the skills to use it, so i can mock it up first?

Yes, all eyes were on the Chim


Not quite sure what that's supposed to mean "UncleDave" but I see from your profile :> After having heard many mental images of myself from other PHers, mainly as a fat old man, I would like to point out I am at the moment only 16 years of age and am not actaully an Uncle..
Not a Chav, and just as much of a petrolhead as the rest of you though! - not a car owner either by the sound of it so JIC you were about to start then I suggest you before the starts.

Alan, I didn`t get that one either.


I wasn't sure where he was going with his comment either, hence my reply started with a query!
