The peppermint piglet...

As Photobucket has pulled the plug on free image hosting the majority of my historic threads now make little sense.
So this is the place where I will be posting my new pics and possibly some of my old ones too (if I can find them)

Probably not everybody's cup of tea but that color is fantastic. Love seeing our cars in uncommon paint. Go Peppa Pig!

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea you wouldn't believe the negative comments I've received over my years of ownership

Good thing it only matters what you think! Was this a factory paint job?

You need to post some pics of your interior. I almost got inspired to do the same to mine but got too lazy

I missed out on taking the piglet to the Nurburgring this year after the engine light came on a couple of days before departure
So here's a couple of images from last year to cheer me up.

Lets just say more cars passed me then I passed

I drive within my limited capabilities on a very technical circuit and keep out of trouble as I have to get my car back to the UK in one piece!

A young couple died in an accident near Breidscheid on the day we arrived re-enforcing the realities of The Green Hell and very sobering.

WE took a trip over to The Nürburgring again this month and seeing as the piglet didn't get out much last year I took a few pics.
This was at the bridge at Breidscheid where the track goes over the towns main road

And the castle at Nürburg


Some interesting vehicles about too which I'll add soon.
