THE 7 DAY CHALLENGE!

I ALSO GOT THIS EMAIL ON THE 22/2/018 FROM MAZDA AUSTRALIA –AND WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED!

BILLYBUNTER
Following numerous complaints on how you abuse and constantly tear apart our number one selling sports car in the world with your paint, re-paint and paint again antics why not just return the complete vehicle back to the factory original colour of Sunlight Silver – as per your original 2011 purchase….see photo……and please exclude the ghastly stripes too.


Image


In good faith $600 has been allocated to an untraceable Australian bank account to cover your re- spray costs. Work must start on the 23/2/018. You have 7 days to complete the task in hand. No-one must know about this venture and if you fail to deliver all correspondence will be wiped from our records. As usual this email will self destruct in 10 seconds …..
Good Luck Jim…er! Graham

Now I say – Why would I have to keep it a secret when it only took 100 hours to spray it white. Now how hard could it be to partly strip down a car and re-paint it in a colour I don't really like.........and have 7 days to do it too :lol:

Plus can you paint a car in a colour you don't like at all and do a good job :lol: .......I have 2 days to go :lol: show tell and SELL on the 30th

I think we'll be waiting a lot more than 2 days for the 30th of February to roll around....... :shock:
Would that be a double leap year? :mrgreen:

well my time is just about up and although close......failed! :lol: missed it by just a few hours too! not worth my time to just stuff it up in the final run so I could say I might have completed it - if it didn't rain for one full day BUT I guess should have checked the weather pattern first :lol:

now it didn't get just a closed door re-spray. it still got the boot/door jams and the engine bay. inside bonnet and boot lid......so it got the lot...hi ho silver :lol:
