Title: Help!! Poke My Eyes Out Quickly!
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on August 17, 2005, 15:01:31
I was on my way home from work about 14:00 &passing through Wakefield when I saw a horrible sight.

It was a Double-Cab pick-up; think it might have been a Mitsubushi??

However it was painted in that strange 'Flip-Flop' paint that is usually found coating Saxos & the like.
The one that changes dramatically from purple to gold to green.

And to top the travesty off.

It had large alloys on (19"??) with ......... spinners on :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

I Hope I never see it again

I was thinking of getting that paint for the 101 actually.

How much do you think it would cost to get it done to that nice mirror finish?

 :lol:

All joking aside, about £800 a litre when a previous boss investigated for his Tuscun racer. :shock:

Can you get spinners for six studs? :lol:

So much money on paint!  :shock:  They must be mad!

All the cehicles that I have seen it on have been small and driven by the elderly - does that mean old people have lots of money? :?

No, because they spend it all on pimping their ride  :P

You could improve it with a litre of unleaded and a match.....

No, a proper Tuscan racer. He had the only road going one - he got the car from TVR and modified it for road use. Sadly, it now resides with him in Detroit  :(

He had it clocked at Castle Coombe once - 204mph :shock:

No, I knew you meant the earlier Tuscans, as in the racing series. they were bodied a bit like a Griffith/Chimera - but wider & lower.

I posted my Tuscan link for the colour

Ah, in that case you were pretty much spotty on!

The blue to green (as pictured) I think is nice, but the purple to beige is a bit, well..... beige, really!
