My dad got one of these when he and my mum had me (he had to give up his Triumph Spitfire) and he kept it until I was about 8. His was brown (great colour for a car) and had a yellow vinyl roof.

The half-eaten Mars bar livery - released as a Vanguards 1:43 model VA11900 in Ghia trim http://www.flickr.com/photos/fcros/5605447276/ . I haven't tried licking mine.

Have you tinted the windows with a felt pen?

No does it work?

Ingo DE

◊ 2011-12-22 19:55

No. When I've tried that with my toy-cars back in the chldhood, it failed. Only the special colour for verre églomisé-art works for that.
A quite unknown tip also for classic car fans, for re-coloring bleached indicator-lenses.

:whistle: I wouldn't have bothered with that, though I wasn't taking any chances! These captures were from 'Father Ted: The Compete Box Set' though you can watch the full episode on YouTube. Enjoy! Link to "m.youtube.com"

^ I think you were right to do that (if we ever want Google Ads' sponsorship again)

I read everywhere Google only considers one (1) appeal.
"further appeals may not be considered"
"In many cases, our decision is final"
etc.

Honestly I don't think he (Antoine) will ever see back Google's money, because generally when they decide something, there's nothing you can do to change their opinion..

Yes, there is no much hope for that.
But as other advertisers often have also rules about adult contents, it is still safer to censor those that can easily be censored.
Anyway, there is a thread on the forum for that subject ;)
