2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Those threads are the best, no question about it. But...

How could anybody come up with the idea to ask when the next is up It's mid December. Personally, I have no idea how MJ keeps up the effort, doing all those hours, on top of her regular job.

I haven't started on my project. All I did was drag the engine and the gearbox into the garage. Admittedly, I can hardly call it a garage, more like limited storage area (compared to MJ´s Garage) I feel like a bear... having gone into hibernation mode

I wondered about a window sticker like ‘A8 Freunde” or the Cornish Annual Meet sticker. Wording suggestion: ‘I’ve been Doctored!’ I’ll leave it to someone more artistic for a design.

That's not a bad starter for the badge Jim: any others? (assuming Michaela doesn't mind, that is )

I wondered if an artist might incorporate ‘D2’ into the ‘Do’ of ‘doctored’

I have a graphic design buddy (who, I think, "inspired" me to come up the Annual Meet "8" back logo for the Portmeirion meet): I could ask him? - trouble is, that's normally over a beer

That other car on the ramp...... it's not Ricky's is it???
It looks green on my phone in that light.
But then again Big Red looks super bright too.

MJ, I've now got a 14kg box of wiring in the hallway and it will be winging it's way to you tomorrow. Oh joy
If you get bored and would like to see Red Dwarf sooner rather than later for a WITW then just let me know
