They look lovely! The NA is imaculate! And the paint work on the NC looks quite nice in the photos!

We loved the little red fella - would still have him if we had room.........or I hadn't dríven the NC 8) . He was gone to a new family after 10 days on Carsales.

The NC's paint is about as good as it'll get - they've had four goes at it though. Still a couple of very minor blemishes but one parking door ding from some mindless hottie will make up for them :roll: .

Wha...? Nah AJ....life's too short to be trapped by the evil of the dark side. Besides, this one matches my complexion, Mrs JBT's cap and our picnic chairs - might have to swap spray jackets though :mrgreen: .

I realise now though that, above all other considerations, red ones go faster but true red ones go fasterest. 8) So fast bensale, that a new key tag will grow as you approach warp 10. :)
