Re: my matt black toy
I'm not normally a fan of "Rat" look vehicles (matt black finish), however the Cav still looks damn fine.
Not keen on the steering wheel, but suppose that's down to personal choice.
Love the bike carbs
Hmmm french car - do any of the electrics still work..?. or is it a typical renault, where some bits work one day, but not the next, but then work again a few days later.
My friend had a Laguna - it was possessed, it was totally random which parts would work each day - ha ha

Re: my matt black toy
I like it. Certainly unique. I'm not a huge fan of matt black paint, but the Cav does look very tidy. Like i said, she's unique, and she's yours
Alloys look neat.
You going to smoke the rear lights? Would compliment the rear end nicely. Thumbs up so far.
