Stag do - the 'ring
Discussion
Wasn't sure where to post this as it's car heavy, so mods feel free to move!
I was going to post this earlier but it was a surprise for my brother (the stag) so kept it quiet!
I was given best man status by my brother prior to his wedding. Whilst obviously happy with that, it rapidly dawned on me I had to sort the stag do out! Now my brother has been on quite a few, from the shooting guns, and racing quad bikes and go karts in Eastern Europe, to fancy dress nights out in the UK, so the thought process started!
After considering Oktoberfest and finalising numbers (16 in total) I decided we should drive to The Nurburgring, and on the way back stop off in Brussels (where he lived for a bit), which all seemed, well a little tame! After getting the money off the 15 people I was on the look out for a banger for him to do the drive in, this was bought:
Then the transformation to the A-Team van began:
finished:
His face was a picture when we presented it to him, as he had no suspicions, and naturally we got him dressed up as BA Baracus:
Upon arriving at the Nurburgring (we stayed at the Burgstube, I couldn't recommend it enough!), we had our briefing and a chap sat at the bar took a few of us out in the back of his car for a few laps. He was a 'ring veteran, and it was amazing!
The next day we'd hired him a Rent4Ring Suzuki swift, which was amazing! I managed a few laps, and found a few pictures of me driving it:
.
I've since decided on going to the 'ring as often as possible, it was brilliant, for those that haven't been, go!
The A-Team wagon then made it to Brussels, and back home, where, after being used locally a bit the headgasket failed (whilst on eBay!), she has since retired to the great scrapheap in the sky, a sad end to an awesome car!

What did you use to paint the Alto with? (make and type of paint, brushes, roller, spray can, gun, etc) Looks a decent job.
I might be in a similar position soon where I will have to bastardise the paint work an old banger to get the right look.
It was actually a wagon R+, 1.2 16v and everything, haha!I might be in a similar position soon where I will have to bastardise the paint work an old banger to get the right look.
I used Rustoleum Combi colour satin black rattle cans!
