There is nothing more iconic in Australia than a black BMW with gold wheels. Just google John Player Special BMW.

Nice in a iconic way but the op is in Reading & has a silver Bmw :roll:
A brave move but ultimately if ( or when :oops: ) it proves disastrous £200 or so will redeem the situation so hardly bank busting

Yes, but only if the cap is worn back to front. It amazes me to see how many baseball caps apparently come without fitting instructions. :wink:
