the remains of my first car... a 56 that in it's prime looked like weapons, except with the green interior, minus the rack and radio (plus a bit scruffier with lots of hidden rust).

weapon... your making me miss my old oval even more....

poss another that fits in the poll on the way to me soon, but dark green :)
