"Sticker bombing". A bit passé now, but a cheap way for kids to make their little hatchbacks stand out from the crowd, (also handy for disguising rust holes, dents etc). You can now buy printed sticker bomb sheets from Ebay, which kinda defeats the idea of the thing.

So that's the Chelsea Cruise ticked off my list of pilgrimages to make in the truck. I wouldn't go every month but a couple of times over the Summer would be fun. The Pop coped admirably with the traffic, it steered & stopped well in the cut & thrust of a Saturday evening in the Nation's capital city. It didn't overheat, it didn't refuse to start, it didn't let us down. It felt great to finally be a part of the action, instead of just being a spectator. It was gone midnight before we finally pointed the Pop homewards, rumbling past lines of trendies, queueing to get into late night clubs, along the A316 & out into the darkness of the M3. It was a hot night & we were glad we didn't have any glass in the side windows. A 20 minute wait in roadworks a few miles from home meant it was 2.0.clock in the morning before we arrived back at Loony's rural workshop. We drank a cold can of Coke & looked at the stars while we waited for the exhausts to cool enough to cover it up again. Yeah, a good trip.  |

Hi Andy you're right it was a good night out, took me right back to my yoof. The pop held up well if it didn't overheat on Saturday then i don't think it will. It certainly turned a few heads,women always smile and wave while their boyfriends seem to ignore it ( I'm far to cool to notice that) yeah right. It must have been very special for you a dream fullfilled. And thanks for wandering off and leaving me with to fend off Mr morose (Actually he wasn't that bad I don't mind talking cars, but don't really want to know his whole life history). By the way you and the car are STARS! You appear in at least 3 video's on the You Tube. We must do it again sometime.

Andy the side view is the dogs danglies, it DOESN'T need any infill panels behind the cab to pickup , TRUST ME , I know my way round a pickup  If you fill in there it will look strange at the very rear and continuing the roll there will make the rear look heavy and clumsy. |

Same here, it looks "Brilliant" just the way it is, just drive the a**e off it (Or I will steal it and take it down the track) |

Yes it looks fantastic and really stands out among all the brightly coloured ones!
You shouldn't get embarrassed talking about your car - it's built of your blood sweat and tears after all - as well as various other Monkeys, and anyway people just like to know stuff about it!

Looks like I'm outvoted then! Am I allowed to run an 8mm bead around the bottom of the cab to match the edge of the front arches? Literally every single person we've spoken to says Don't paint it!
