Losing the plot....

Not being hugely fond of the Xantia's appearance...


but, liking the reliablity,


economy,


general comfort level,


and load-lugging ability,


I don't want to part with it (at least for now).




So,


after toasting it slightly with the BBQ at Gaydon,


I thought i'd go for the "Rat" look... you know, something a little different...

.

But then I thought: Nah, let's go with some thing A LOT different....

Too much? Too little? Nervous breakdown?

Some feedback perhaps? :mrgreen:

looks like a half decent job though, just tell people it was inspired by Picasso.

It IS a half decent job... i've only done the offside of the centre line. :wink:

From the passengers side it looks completely normal :mrgreen:

So, if Claire always gets in the passenger side, will she ever notice? I wish you'd come up with the idea on Saturday night, we could have had a lot of fun...

Actually, she never noticed the whole thing had been keyed up yesterday, it was a lovely shade of white :D

Why do i always have to be the brains... :roll:

Actually, what i want is a load of vinyl stickers for the nearside.... Brands, Charities, allsorts and then just randomly stick them all over the place...

I was thinking a little Austin Powers perhaps?

Now all i need is Smiffy's glasses and to trim my chest hair into the shape of my cock (with slightly less saggy bollocks)... :roll:

:shock: :shock: Ummmm, stop taking them pills and start taking medication! WTF have you done?! :mrgreen: Like what Matt said, I sooooooooo wish we'd had the idea on the weekend.

What ever you do to the near side, it's needs to be in the 'best' possible tastes for Stratford - just to wind up the more serious of the Citro-philes!

I am infused with WTF-edness.
However I do like whats going on with the bonnet and wing.
That said, should the Voices start telling you to burn things please come and see me for a top up depot.

The only down side to that is if I let you bloody lot anywhere near it I won't be able to see out the windows! You'll probably paint me a porthole on the side window :lol:

[chin] Well, it might be a bit fuzzy round the edges like but you'll get home. I think you should actually line your roof rack and plant flowers maaan 8) or grass or moss or something
