Oh, the Proton is a POS. But it is the best bang for buck for a kinda large family car for doing the odd jobs.

Petrol head i definately am. Here is my current weekend toy:

Very cool looking Laser Blue! I like all the contrasting white. I also think that Oxygen Blue looks really good and I'm not a big fan of Oxygen Blue!

Here are a couple of new pictures of mine. I finally switched the clear side marker lenses for orange ones to match the fender reflectors and the brakes. Please excuse the dirt, it's been raining on and off here and some of the roads are muddy right now.

^^^Must be too early in the morning for me with no coffee. Saw your plate and thought to myself. Wow, that a cool funky looking plate. Really matches your car. Took one sip of coffee and realized you were just blurring it out.
