Mate nice car, only if she sounded as tough as she looked.
Give the 6 a bit more power or go all the way and turn it into a real SS.

Keep it up, I love it!

HeyHey
I've suggested this to someone before... And it's probably just cos I'm a spray painters GF...
But if you've got some spare money to spend on the car, nothing makes it stand out more than a paint job (eg check out my car)
Obviously your paint is still in great condition, and if your not wanting to do a total respray to another colour, (i understnad cos thats a pain in the ass doing the door jams etc.) But something to consider is getting a pearl overlay? You can get some awesome stuff these days and you wouldn't have to bother about the door jams etc.
ANYWAY, just something to think about :)
Cheers
Tara
