Hi there. Looks a nice clean car, though not as many toys as your pa's. Bet the drop in performance is disappointing too(no, you've not left the handbrake on, it won't make any difference anyway :) )

Nice colour. All you need to do now is bling it up with some fog lights and silver strips :)

I hate to say it, but that colour is dying for a bit of Bluey Bling ;)

Good luck with that - I think yours is the first 406 I've actually seen in that colour!
