    CSI in Italian is the work of the devil

    Italian swear words are great, they all seem to have the same emphasis as bad swear words in English, and are never uttered in jest.


    Well said, least it's not just me :)

    Lotus yellow is nice though?

    What makes it even funnier is normal french people dont swear much!

    Lotus yellow is nice but on an elise, azure blue or british racing green ftw;)

    Ah come on! If you're going to have an outlandish car, you might as well have it in an outlandish colour!

    I get the argument, but I can also see why one might want an outlandish car but not in an outlandish colour?

    Maybe I'm just not confident enough to drive a toxic snot coloured car :)

    That RS blue though??

    Now, this, THIS I could go for..

    Geezer near where I grew up had a 3 series like that..... It kind of changed as you looked at it.

    Had my mother in the car one day and she remarked that it looked a bit like a trout with a skin infection.... :confused:

    lol, can't argue with her there. There really is no car that those chameleon paints suit other than TVR's, don't know what it is.

    This looks bloody fantastic:

    And they can't be put up on a lift because this will happen:

    I'd love to see anyones face when they walked in on their car like that.

    But I'd say you would have to be taken away by the men in white coats for
    'a bit of a lie down' :pac:

    You appear to be the most unlucky motorist in the country.

    Gratz. Nct for scooby is on 1/1/13 .... I wired to get finger out and do it now. Already got standard fart cannon and service done recently.

    this was the first time i prepared in advance and honestly i reckon your better off prepping the car in advance.

    got it serviced, new rubber etc. granted i probably got a lot of un-necessary work done, but at least then you know the car is tip top.

    will the scooby fail due to lack of rear downforce from the missing spoiler? :pac:

    I'd say for Halloween this evening, the trick or treaters that call to your house will be getting old fuel filters for D-Turbos, broken suspension bits and pieces of old Fiat Bravos instead of a few Crunchies.. :D
