Default There she is!!

After a few weeks waiting, there she is at last.
I'm so happy, I still can't believe it's mine and that I don't have to give it back...

Some pictures... sorry for the front licence plate, but it's absolutely mandatory here in France.

Beautiful pictures. Good luck in the World Cup. I must say I like your car more than your chances in the Cup. Just kidding. That european plate actually looks good on the back of the car. I guess that is the size plate the space was designed for.

Now that I have my car, I'm not even sure I'm going to watch the game (never been a soccer fan anyway), I have muh better things to do! That said, we never though they would go so far in the game, so it's already a surprise they're playing the finals.

Awesome. Well worth the wait.

In Pix #3 if you left click on the headlight washer you can hear "La Marseillaise" playing softly. Turn up the volume.

Congratulations guy.

I realize that you just got the car (great color choice, btw) but have you noticed any reaction from stunned Frenchmen yet?

Good Luck, and be safe!! The plate in the front actually doesn't look bad in the long and thin European Version.

Congrats!

Specially since they are up against the dirty Italians. Never seen a team dive so much in futbol. Never seen such a team so undeserving of a World Cup finals game.


Congrats on the new car. Enjoy it man!
