get him to paint it pink for her;)

it means she wants it nice inside with flower on dash and pompoms around windscreen.

Also if u could find a nice place for a vertical picture...

Actually it is likely to mean the colors on the interior are harsh and dark, and she'd rather lighter ones. Also, not alot of speedos/tacometers etc on the dash if u please.

Also, it may mean it isn't color co-oridnated enough. But it usually refers to the interior. But definately the look of the car.

I fully understand it.

Thanks for all the nice little comments about me and how im so picky.. (type3kid)

But coming to my own defence I dont want a pink car and the pom poms I can go without aswell..
I just want something thats nice to look at.
Its simple really.. and if im leaving you guys the cars with all the power is there really a problem?

my car has hawaiian lays in it, but im afraid it might be too poignant, anarchistic and bildungsroman.

Type3..

I totally understand.

I'm a chick (even if I did get called dude) so I get it.

Why sit in a car fully of techno stuff, when what u want really is nice clean car, color scheme that's easy on the eye (not 6 plus different colors) that drives well, has the power to get up the hill, and not so much that the cops are pulling u up every day.

I've seen some nice ones here, in the sellers list, so ur sure to find one u like, I remember seeing one that was a nice pale grey, with whie interior....I think it's still for sale. Will try to see if I can find it again.

But maybe another way to go is...to find one that has good mechanics and body, then to get the interior done the way u like it. not hard to do, and if u have open budget and time, can be done.

I did. Got one that was mechanically okay, needed some bit and pieces, and I am now in process of changing interior to what I want.

Pink shag pile parcel trays, nice purple cushions (for baby when he sleeps) co-ordinated door trims (yellow okay u think) and nice seat covers (red should set it off nicely) NOT!! It's white and grey actually. The car will be metallic blue with silevr ghost flames when I finish.

Oh...and no dice, or pom poms either!

Anyway, I hope u find something nice.

cheers
d4...the DUDE....lol

ok, i think i should straighten something out REAL quick. i like beetles but i have never owned one and the one i woul;d own i can't afford and can't talk my friend into buying. i am a type 3 man through and through, i have owned 6, and still currently have 5.

that was my friend a few posts back defending herself but as she isn't a member she decided to use my user name

i am going to sound really doof doof here but i actually had fluffy dice in my old square. yes i know, i am lame but they were given as a joke so i played along.

cheers, Aaron
