Wondered how long it would take the PH motley crew to knock your bit of personality and individualism. Who cares, if he wants to brighten up his Borbets and do it in his way.

Shame to see the 5 GT Turbos mostly seem to have gone that way, hardly a standard looking one left. And those wheels...dear God...laugh

I think you should have your guide dog put down as he's making fun of you letting you be seen in those cars.

Sorry to say this but they all look awful. Fine if you bought them to take the piss for a Le Mans trip or something but to actually say "I own three stty Renaults, which have been badly modified" .... hmmmm each to their own!

The thing is it doesn't matter what me or anyone else thinks, so long as you enjoy them smile

PH Motley Crew rolleyes

More of a "not my sort of thing" rather than knocking "personality and individualism"...
