Just got around to taking a few snaps of my Chim 500 that I bought about 6 months ago. Since then I've done 5000 miles in it and enjoyed every minute! smile

It needed a few cosmetic things doing to it when I picked it up - tatty wheels, tatty hood, cracked dash, paint on the steering wheel etc... Anyway, I've spent a bit of time tidying it up and will be leaving it fairly standard (stainless dash and dirty coloured wheels aside!).

I don't have any major modification plans for it as it's fantastic as it is and there's room in the garage for something else yes (not sure what though).

Hope you like (though admittedly the interior could put a few people off!).

Nice!

Are you the Sultan of Brunei? He has a massive collection of yellow cars with red interiors don't you know.

This sort of colour scheme works on something lairy like a TVR- but wouldn't work at all on something more mainstream. Fair play for keeping things interesting and different I say (coming from someone with a silver car with black interior... wink

Thanks for the comments guys. It's definitely not a colour combo for everyone and indeed it would look stupid if applied to a run of the mill Volvo or something. For me TVRs are supposed to be a bit nuts and even though I looked at 'better' cars it was the colour of this one that sold it to me.
