Rob, I think it's great that you don't give a f*ck what others think and go your own way. Never a truer word spoken than "your car mate.". :D

Back to Advocado suites, back in the early 90's we were all buying houses needing work. we had a 70's bathroom club.

My wife when we met had an advocado suite in the rented place we had in Crawley.
One mate had a primrose yellow suite in his gaff, another had the Bermuda blue (my mum still has that colour 8O ) and another had the shell Pink. But we blew them all out the water when we bought our current house and showed them the Sepia suite in the bathroom. Anyone remember that colour? Dark brown. it showed every mark going except skids in the pan :wink:

Hey there's f*ck all wrong with a coloured bathroom suite- I rock an Advocado suite, proper 70's 8)

Anyway back on topic- Rob is Rob and will do what Rob wants to do!! Saw in the flesh today and it is a truly epic vehicle of true HKF stature- fabulous overspray all applied with great skill to make it look accidental! He's even managed to get a slight orange peel effect on some bits to recreate a rattle can bodge!! The effort taken to mask carefully in the door shuts also to recreate the overspray look is outstanding. Almost painting the exhaust tips completely also add to the effect- it would have been easy to fully spray them, but Rob has subtley not quite fully painted them to leave the viewer wondering if they are just painted bad, or truly tragic overspray. Very clever to pull this look off as most people think he's just a nob with a few half-empty rattle cans laying around and an hour spare with nothing to do :mad:

:wink:

Advocado is egg-nog that's gone so bad it's turned green.

And....

I think people are mean treating this gentleman's hard, time-consuming work with such derision.

Remember that "special" member of YOUR family?

I actually think this vehicles awesomeness is unconfined.

IMO that looks absolutely shocking. The colour scheme may be passible if it was a slammed and caged track car, but with the current set up its full of fail.

However, your car so do what you want.

LOL , as much as I love e30s I dont think you can compare an e30 with a veyron.

The veyron can get away with bright colours because its a million pound hyper car thats capable of 250mph , not a 20 year old german box.

Sorry but if its a million pounds or a hundred quid you cant say that one can and the other cant. So a millionaire can have orange bits?, so you predudice over money or status?

Next you will say you can only have 4pots if its an m3

You call it a marmite car, put up a poll with 'love it / hate it" options, say you don't care what others think, then ask for it to be locked when people say they don't like it :?
