was just driving through blackburn and saw a GP coming the other way, so gave it a flash,
but as i was driving past i caught somthing quite terrible in the corner of my eye

.

IT HAD FURRY PINK SEAT COVERS AND STEERING WHELL COVER TO MATCH!!!!!!

I though i must of imagined it but after fueling my car on the way home i saw it parked up, and it is true it actually had these things on a GP.
didnt get the number on the other side of the car.

Terrible

Lavly! Just my thing...

AprilWhine · Mar 22nd, 2008, 01:14 PM

Cool! I had considered painting the ugly thing a nice metallic orchid when I owned it, but sold it instead.

A bit of pink is a nice touch.

Well you could look at it like this, that at least they're protecting those expensive Recaro's!

That will be 3 GPs on another stand.

Mick have you got a second stand available at short notice

I am all for a bit of uniqueness, but pink fluffy bits on a GP is going too far.

Just curious here if you thought it was ugly why did you buy it?

It was very capable and fun to drive, but I could never get over the ugly blue/gray color. I much prefer vivid colors. I thought I could learn to love it because of it's performance but found I was as shallow as a 15 year old boy.

I am not shallow!

Actually, before we picked it up, the plan was to paint it Orange. I just never could figure out what to do with the roof numbers.

However, I did get out the spray gun in prep for the Clubman. I will let Sherry tell you that plan.

That was one brave move !

I guess you thought you'd grow to love it ?

At least you had a good go
