Pic Of The Week: Jaguar D Type

When it comes to dream garages, Smiley's sorted!

When PH Smiley was but a wee lad, he dreamed of having a D Type Jag tucked away in the garage. Didn't we all?

Now he's grown up and made a bundle in investment banking, he's decided it's finally time to indulge that youthful fantasy. (He's not getting any younger, and b*gger the kids' inheritance. Let the little blighters work their own fingers to the bone like Smiley had to, etc...)

And here's the result. That multi-million pound warehouse conversion in the City has plenty of room for a 'garage level', and there sits Smiley's latest pride and joy.

Well, virtually - you're never too old to dream, after all...

A good shot of a respectable car completely spoiled by that enormous logo.

Sorry chaps - but a full pic of the car without the 'shopped on logo would have been fantastic...

I can't use this as my backdrop for the next 7 days as it would irritate me too much every time I looked at it!

Whatever next, a Spitfire with PH roundels...?

Please

Please , its a bit of fun i like it

[Sonic Nonsense]

I like the logo, and the little story was fun, but for a wallpaper, I'd probably prefer it without please.

What a bunch of grumpy old buggers!

Personally I like the smiley on there.... It's a PH wallpaper after all.

Bugger the nay sayers!

Lovely car. Brother-in-law's got one, makes me dribble every time I see it.

Thank you for the trouble!

It isn't that your logo is ugly at all, but somehow it took more importance than the car! You could always place it in a corner...

When I save your pics for my personal collection, I usually spend quite a bit of time trying to remove your oblique band in the top-left corner; I understand you're proud, but when it crosses the car it really does spoil the picture...
