Losing the plot....

Post by jayw » 20 Jul 2010

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.

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...

: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!

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
