Title: Sweet Orange Rx-7, Falkirk
Post by: Von Ryan on January 02, 2004, 08:26:38 PM
Saw it a couple of times in Falkirk area. My mate Stuart Smith told me he works with the owner but i can\'t remember the guy\'s name! :confused:

The motor is slammed and looks well cool. Neary crashed my  blue Y reg fiesta one day staring at it! Its made me make up my mind and decide to get one myself!

Probably not - some months ago there was an Orange one for sale in Scotland on Autotrader.

Haha, the other one was orange for much longer though.  That was back when I had my red one and it annoyed me too as I was going to be going Orange.  Lucky I hadnt already done it before the accident though!

I recon it would look ace.  Trouble is painting a car is a big job, especially if you want your engine bay all the same colour (which I probably would).

it\'s easy if you know lots of bored sprayers... my main problem is being without a car though they\'ve started renting out 60k mercs to us at work for £1200 a month or a honda s2000 for 800 so it\'s getting all the more tempting ;)

It used to belong to a guy called Al you loved it to bits. I spoke to him a while back.
