...and to think, he bought a tintop so he could get into multi-storey car parks. Doh #-o

I wouldn't advise leaving the roof open 24hrs just in case it rains in the night. :mrgreen:

Aye Alan, I do like the VW scene but as a painter I don't think I could have a van that purposely looks rusty, it's against all I've been trained to do. However I do like the commercial ones which are being kept original with sign writing on and totally original.
