My old Nissan Sunny, whilst faithful and incredibly reliable, wasn't exactly PH material. So the only solution is to go out and buy something cheap, rear wheel drive and with a big engine. Seeing as I've already had a Commodore, there's only one real answer. So today I picked up a Ford Falcon XF panel van










It's a 4.1 straight 6, with the ultra sporty front bench seat and column shift auto with a bed in the back. I never knew something with such a big engine could be so slow, but hey it does sound good. I think it's time to have a bit of light hearted fun. So since the paintjob is already somewhat dodgy, I'm thinking matt black (yes I don't normally like it, but I really think it would work on something like this.) Took it home and sprayed the wheels black



added the necessary stickers



and then got stitched up when I wasn't looking



Enjoy!

Ha ha great photoshop! I think matt black may well be the way to go, as it does look slightly like thr Gay Pride flag at the moment

Finally gotten rid of the Gay Pride flag paint job









I know matt black is generally frowned on, but I think it rather suits it. Still needs a second coat in places, after that I'm going to put it up for sale. Still have about 6 weeks before I leave my current place. So that's time for one more interesting car before I have to get a van
