Great shots again mate. Can you link us to your thread on retro-rides? I cant seem to find it again.
I shal be keeping a close eye on this project. I'm also from Leeds and looking to get a eunos this upcoming summer, so I'll maybe see you about at some point.

you know - I've had my 5 for sale on PH for the past week or so ...... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/381886.htm

But having driven home this evening with the top down and re-reading this thread again, and seeing everyones cars - including Gravels pics, and then seeing this again: http://www.retroforza.com/?page=gallery

It just brings it all back home how much fun I'll miss.

So it's not for sale anymore - and it's staying very firmly on the Kinky driveway bounce

I'd best tell the 3 people who made offers that it's not for sale.

K

P.S. - The gearbox seems to have sorted itself out - it's all absolutely fine and dandy now.

P.P.S - Anyone got a loan of £2k for the Forza kit?

All ive got is bloody fog and tractors hehe
at least it makes the monster truck ride height look like i need it

Kinky , How could you sell !!!! nono

This is one car ive got attached to and something would have to go very badly wrong for me to part company with it , most other cars esp new ones are just boring in comparison ,

I've just picked up this little beauty. It's a 2003 Nevada, with blue leather. Low mileage and is immaculate, in fact, the MOT station lads commented it was the nicest they'd seen. Absolutely chuffed!!! Now just have to wait until Saturday morning to drive it. Tomorrow is going to be a looooong day.

I saw an article a couple of years ago which had templates to make your own - simply photoshop and print onto heavy transparency paper.

I'll have a think where I saw and try and locate it (I must have a 1000 mx-5 related bookmarks biggrin)

Very nice Combover, you will have to watch out in that car. Once you get over 30 MPH your hair is going to blow over your face revealing the combover and blinding you to the on coming traffic.
