You a regular on bike forums?

No. I would imagine they are very much like cycling clubs.

No, but I do know where you can get some quality caravan detailing products   :wink:

Does Neil stock hobbrite and oven cleaner?

Just paint a red/silver stripe across the front and through the headlights and job done!  It qualifies for this forum! :grin:

Funny you should say that, as the intended new one has red stripes.

Sorry no hobbrite but some quality MF cloths to apply it with LOL!!!

Joking aside, every other car seems to have a red stripe somewhere or other at the moment.  It's flavour of the month.  I've seen 3 in the last 2 days. They are imposters - NOT the real thing  :whistle:  :laugh:

The worst offender i've seen was a Nissan Juke Nismo, awful looking car with or without the stripes and not as quick as the poor owner thought when he tried to undertake me in the GTD near Christmas.

Nissan Joke, with or without red stripe is  :sick: :sick: :sick:  looks like they took EVERY styling cue from EVERY car and threw it all at the Nissan.  My colleague who sits next to me has one, I have to pretend I like it, whilst never actually saying so  :evil:

I honestly can't remember the abomination I saw yesterday, possibly a Citreon something or other, but the driver obviously thought it was THE cat's pyjamas.  I gave it a hearty look of derision as I sped past  :grin:

Defo keep as is. I like reading about the R stuff (even if it does make me feel a little less well endowed) :wink:

Sounds like it might've been one of those Citroen Cactus' :-



To me it looks like something the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles should be driving.  :grin:

I feel physically sick  :sick:

Definitely the TMNT-Mobile  :grin:

But no, it wasn't that.  It was smaller not SUV, white with red stripe along the side of the lower door sill area.  Keep looking  :laugh:

Those Cactus things are so bad they're good!
A guy in my work has one in yellow. I'll refrain from commenting further.

Nissan Jukes seem amazingly popular for what is essentially a very ugly Renault Clio.
My step-mum has had two now. Handy for older people as they're quite high up I think is the secret to their success.

Let's just say he and the car are well matched.

Every other newish car in Tyne and Wear seems to be a Juke - lots  of friends and family of Nissan Sunderland employees is probably the reason. So Fugly, chunky on the outside with the interior space of a Micra.
