Collector status achieved!!!

I took the car for a nice drive out to Porteau Cove on Sunday afternoon. I took a couple of pics, but there were too many other people around to get any good photos. I really enjoyed the drive though

Following with quattro's deco thread I've redone my stripes on the trunk and drivers door. The others have been replaced at some point so the original ones on the trunk and particularly the drivers door were sticking out like a sore thumb. I'm not entirely satisfied with the result, but most people won't know the difference.

I'll post pics after I download them from my phone

Took some photos with my camera tonight, so they look better than the ones from the phone

I also did some work on the exhaust tips. They've been annoying me ever since I got the car...

its crazy when u post pics its like im looking at my car . did u install that one way valve? and if so did it solve your starting issues .
have u had a chance to race anyone yet with your car . i came across a 2009 maserati a week ago at a red light heading out of town and i think i suprised the heck out of him when i beat him .

LOL...yeah, funny how these cars all look alike

I bought the valve, but I haven't had it installed yet. I think I will be dropping it off today to get installed.

I haven't raced anyone, but I've done some nice hard accelerations and definitely turned some heads
