The Aston Martin DB9. My favourite car, ever.

It used to be silver and now it's in 'Hengist racing green' colour. \:\)

Lol Revvin.

As a precaution for our next race, I've taken out the stereo and fitted a roll cage instead \:\)

Thanks Techno,

It took days of design and hours of work to accomplish. I had to select the correct shade of Green, and then I had to apply it, not just to a part of the car, but all over it. I may write a guide next.

well its all about the little things - the suttle textures, the hours pondering which is the right green etc etc etc.

I totally agree. Some people think that it takes years of training and a certain degree of acquired skill to produce results, such as contained within my featured picture. However I found it to be quite a natural experience to undertake and also a pretty much straight forward thing to do. Thank the Gods for what I suppose you could call, a gift from the Lord above. I think I'll go and sacrifice a Goat next, to show my gratitude.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Goat curry. Somehow though, I'd like to include naked virgins and the hour of midnight in my planned sacrifice ritual. Any suggestions?

Virgins x 40: - check
Sacrificed goat: - check
Curry Sauce: - Check
Midnight: - check

Needed: Full moon, alcohol, goat skins, 'insence', nibbles for after.

\:\)

Were you at least trying to get BRG?

Isn't Astin Martin owned by Fiat or Ferrari now? I recall some show talked about that.

No Frodo, that would add weeks onto the design and implementation stages, so I opted for my standard 'Hengist racing green' option instead. I guess you could say it's a variation on BRG \:\)
