Beautiful looking 19 year old!!

Post by HighwayStar »

Happy birthday beautiful...
My car was born sometime in this month 19 yrs ago. Treating it to its 33rd service later in the mth and changing the rear plate back to the normal position this w/e. Opinions? A change is as good as a rest is my thinking.

The plate between the lights would've been nice if your bumper didn't still have the hole. :)

Thx Tsunami.
I think you may be right Toni but it'd cost a fortune to fill and spray and then I can't go back whereas if I just change back to 'standard' when I get bored again I can put it back how it is now... unless I buy a spare bumper....mmm.

Heya Sheppy.
Yeah Cozy was an awesome drummer. Didn't have the finesse and skills of Ian Paice but by god he hit those drums hard. Ever seen the Munich '77 Rainbow gig on vid/dvd? 1812 overture solo by Cozy.... fabulous! Little Ronnie singing his lungs out and Ritchie soloing over everything before trashing the strat to pieces!
Nakamura. Well why not change I thought. After as you say "all these years" I just thought I'd be a little more 'Rock n Roll'.

R.

PS. Still don't know what I'm going to do with the back of the car

rev 3 spoiler and revert the center panel/number plate to stock locations.
