it does look gorgeous there, even tho its still in parts.

its really nice seeing a car when its freshly painted like that, i loved mine when it was in the same way.


do you now regret going as far as you have after looking back at those pictures!?

No not really but it will never be that mint again, a price that has to be paid for using it hard I guess.

An example..

Slightly off subject, but I remember seeing a gumball 3000 clip of Martin getting out of the escossy and someone asking why he has a escort in with all the half million super cars, then he told him the spec and he was amazed!!! Where is this clip lol. I loved hearing his voice change, can tell he had some serious respect after that lol
