Re: my 406
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
)

I hate to say it, but that colour is dying for a bit of Bluey Bling ;)Captain Jack wrote:Nice colour. All you need to do now is bling it up with some fog lights and silver strips
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
