Yeah check out the yorkshire italia meeting, just click the link in my sig and have a read

I think you should do the whole car in a checker board pattern lol

Does anyone know what 'CORRIE' means?

Someone painted it on my car earlier, I'm guessing its a slang insult?

It might be their nickname, never heard corrie being used as an insult, and is it actually painted on there to the point you'll have to repaint that area?

This is no help: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=CORRIE

Hmmm... well I'm definitely not a sexy sporty blonde chick...

Perhaps they thought I was drunk then?

What is Irish for 'pikey'?

Got some more pics up of graffiti on the RAT-LOOK forum:

Just thought I'd update this thread a bit...

Fitted new shocks and springs all round at the end of May. Now its back at standard ride height!

Fitted new front wishbones in August.

Fitted new front top mounts and new front roll bar bushes in October.


The MoT is coming up, and I'll have to do a quick bit of welding for that. Also might fill the OSR arch, as its gone a tad rusty.

Going to try and give it a lick of paint too, as its going grey badly!
Got some matt black internal emulsion from Focus shutting down, going to see if that manages to stay on...

Thought I'd add some photos back from Feb/March.

I'll take some more when I repaint it.





Good for advertising too: lol

(Pug 205 now sold though)

This was what it looked like when I bought it, you can see how much it's faded!

Unfortunately I have just made a very difficult decision... My much loved Chalkboard Car, aka Chalky, is now FOR SALE.

The MoT runs out next week, and I am not in the position to do the welding needed. There are loads of new parts, so I am hoping somebody will want Chalky to either weld and MoT, or to use for parts, or to use as an advertisement sign!

The engine pulls well, and is the 1.7 diesel. 81k miles, new cambelt at 71k.

I'll write a proper advert out later, in the correct section, but thought I'd tag this on here as well.

Due to the new parts, I have to ask for £500 ono

What a cool car! Have you not had anyone cover it with chalky willies yet? Or is it just the people in my area who prefer to draw giant penises on people's cars... ?

nice :d look special ! :d
