Green on green, add some 16" 5 spoke Pentas and thats a fantastic 80s ride.

Dave!
This has just started parking up the road from recently. It’s pretty minty.

Nice photo that. Obviously I love it 😍
Could you really live with a single temp for your and your passenger in 2026?

That looks like it could (almost) be as long as a Stagea :o

FYI mate, that turn of phrase is offensive. Read this very thread from this page.

(trying to choose my words very carefully and correctly here)

It’s not even that. Bloke in the instagram post didn’t invent it. It’s a slight based on the stereotype of Jewish people being careful with money, and beige or brown cars being unpopular and therefore cheap. And beige being vaguely gold-ish in colour.

Calling something “JRG” is saying “it’s shit and only a Jew would buy it”. That’s why it’s offensive.

I never knew, I first heard it from a Jewish electrical principles instructor with a gold sierra. Then I think the guy who had a blue SEL, Diablo, Espada etc.
