Introduction
Like all good addicts, I fall off the wagon every so often. I've been in remission for quite a while, but have lapsed I'm afraid..... 
So, may I introduce Perry the Panda! :woot:
Perry is a Selecta, bought blind off good old fleabay. He's been named after the last owner, and I think he looks like a Perry?
In theory he's for my friend to use as a business advertising tool. As Andrew put it, I hope it's a bit scraggy or you won't let me have it..... Hmm, well he knows me quite well - it's mine all mine...... :yum: Well I have paid for it & insured it.
Quite a few pics are below. There are quite a lot of scratches, some of which (e.g. the ones down the n/s where it's brushed a hedge) I hope will polish out - the worst bits though are further down the page.
Outside - isn't he cute?!
Inside - ignore the spare parts cluttering up the footwell! Steering wheel cover already binned!
Under bonnet:
I don't think this scrape will polish out, but I hope to make it look better:
Bumper a bit battered - no idea how an elephant sat on it from the direction of the headlight?! One "chrome" bar missing - anyone got one?
New horn push needed, as someone has melted and chewed the old one! And yes that's the right mileage..... :slayer:
So there he is - needs a good polish and tidy, but very little rust. Just a few flakey bits under the lip of the rear wheel arches needing attention before they become sinister - no obvious rust on the doors, bootlid or bonnet. :worship: Seems to drive well, although poor old Perry got a bit of a shock when I started driving, as I am pretty sure he's been pottering around at 20mph rather than sitting on the outside lane of the M5!
I think this post is plenty long enough.....
