When you are 21 it is in full flow at 40
When you are 40 it is 55
when you are 55 it is always next year.
when you are 60 or above it is 5 years ago

Having established your status, is it time to think about changing your signature to 'Poor old git's version'? :rofl:

Hey! I lived in Luton, back in the 60’s when it was OK.
Luton or Vancouver Island - that must have been a tough call!

I had to google it before I replied too! I guessed lci didn't stand for 'lovely colour, innit'

I don't think I've seen another on the road yet. No doubt I'll be in something else when I do :(

Yours looks super

I think you are right, it must be old paint :o
I guess they found a warehouse full of old paint and chucked it over a few cars rather than wasting it.
