I thought I was the only one with a Volvo phone wallpaper ;) I've got the drawing for the t shirts of Steves car on mine allong with the web address of V3M

Any news on the shirts btw?

Nice stickers, I thought you'd got them made by a sticker place, but I just noticed the blade, did you cut them by hand?

Aaron (xntrx) suggested it was "Bungholio". Now I know Lenton isn't exactly a nice area... sm56

I'm in Derby until the weekend, then (hopefully) I'm moving into my new place in Newark. I'd be well up for meeting up!

I'm wondering if the grille might be a step too far? You've certainly been busy :)

Is this car your daily driver, and the decals are just for amusement....or is this going to be a rally/race car?

Pulled by the cops?

cheers

Pulled by the cops, and yes i was wondering about the grill, it was the first part I did, i may just do a black one as i have a spare, but I'll look at that when the basic colours are finished,

It's my daily driver!!!! For now, I will probably get a 300 again sooner or later and keep playing with the car.
