Default the ninja tank

this is my wee 1.25 fiesta.

started out life like this:





got its nickname "the tank" after 3 years of absolute abuse (not ragging it just huge amounts of miles, 3 minor crashes and basicly being the under dog... its a inside joke kind of thing) and being green i guess.
its my 2nd car and i love it to bits. its made me so many mates from forums, took me to lots of shows (inclueding doing 3000 miles in 2 months) had loads of banter and its also found me my current best GF from ZSOC to which i moved from scotland to dorset to be with so not a bad wee car! lots of sentimental value. you prob think this is a long winded babble of crap but its why i love my car so much event though its also caused me alot of money problems, it is 11 years old now after all.

its now called the ninja tank for this reason.
the day before the chedder gorge meet we decided i was bored with matt black and thought we'd see if we could paint it the night before the show lol in less than 12 hours. so we got some paint and did lots of preping!
i'll let the photo's do the talking.

LOL well jen has joined up on here too (Jen_ST150) so got both cars up now gotta say having a misses that enjoys cars as much as i do is fooking great!

something sexy about a woman working on a car...

it looks better in the top 2 photo's but bar in mind that was 2 years ago before all the shit happened to it, the rust took over and the miles where put on it. i really wish i could have kept it that colour as it is such a nice shade but never mind!

and it is a 99 the mag also go it wrong as apprently i live in kent... lolz!
