Go to Halfrauds and get a bulk purchase of flame and skull stickers, and bluff your way thru it??

...never show your face in public again??

...or get a set of white overalls and a Stig style helmet ?


Congrats on the pass!!

Thats not a gay car mate so you have no worrys, plus it's black about the none gayest colour for a car you could get.

Now had you picked a one of these up, then I would be worried.

Obvious answer... sell it and buy something that you think is nicer.

Why do people get cars that they don't like? Confused

+1

I'm waiting for a GSXR that's a decent age in my perfect colour.
Not going to get something in the mean time.

But to be fair not everyone has something to ride/drive in the mean time like me.

Well done.
I see nothing wrong with the car.
But then, I am female.
And I'm at the stage of only buying a car based on its [cheapness of] price, not on its spec sheet.

It's naff, it's a 1.4 VTR HDi model, and its also a lease car that I got at a very competitive price via a friend in my industry so I can't complain really.

On the plus side it would appear to about 500 miles or so on a full tank costing £35-40 Laughing

DO NOT MODIFY IT !!!

If you do then you are gay.


If you do not modify it then it could easily be your girlfriend/mother's car and you are just borrowing it whilst your Ferrari is away being serviced. Wink
