I know. I am a long time owner, I bought my '87 when it was brand new.

The plan was to sell it after a couple of years, but it has always been a fun car to drive. At first it only had steelies for wheels (I should have ordered the snowflakes then). But I decided to wait. Seventeen years later I finally got my snowflakes on it.

And loved that car

I have an "XL" on Topless Bunny that is the one that covers the rear seat.

Posh Bunny has the "M" model, which is nice if you have a pet that would ride in the back seat.

Rather than coilovers, I bought an FK 60/40 lowering kit for my '88. I am happy with the results.

England eh. Where from?

I was in Germany when I was in the RCAF.

As for wheels, long story short, I have more than I know what to do with. Really.

Yup, I worked on the Jet Powered Lawn Darts (CF-104).

I was located at 4 Wing, Baden-Soellingen. It's near the city of Baden-Baden and not too far from Strassbourg France.
Our goverment has corrected a wrong and now has reversed that stupid bit where they tried to remove all the history and tradition from the military. Hence the air force can now be called the RCAF for real.
