crap competition......... you decide!!!

Postby dan » Thu Sep 09, 2010 12:24 pm

Following on from my last thread (vodka versus the spray gun) the wife announced we are having a party in October! Well last time we had one of these the lads got hammered and we sprayed the van (see pics) with whatever colours I had in the shed (hence the pink stripes :cry: ) so this time I am opening it up to the members cos we cant decide. I suggested chameleon purple into blue, the neighbour (drinking buddy) said Focus ST Orange and the wife said (quote) 'does it matter cos I am scrapping it next time you go away anyway!!!'

Is there a colour scheme you ever thought of but were too afraid to attempt? Is there a design in the back of the grey matter you think would look good but her indoors wont let you? It can be chameleon, flip, multi coloured but cant be white!!!! The bodykit will be on the week before the party btw.
The best idea will be decided by an expert panel of judges..... my kids aged 9, 8 and ten months!!!

As for prizes.... erm....

1st prize ....... the blame!!!!
2nd prize........ a lifelong hatred from my wife (be afraid!!)

Let your ideas flow folks and it will be at the next meet!! cheers

And for those that didnt meet the wife at Billing ask Altransit how scary Bicester girls are... nuff said!!!

Hi buddy, this spraying lark is like a drug, you start looking for anything and everything to paint, the van.... the bike.... the dog etc etc!!! Add to that vodka and lets face it its going to happen :?
The alternative is to sit in the garden on a plastic chair listening to all the wives having a competition on whose husband is the most useless, the kids (about 15 invited :shock: ) all going dad dad dad dad dad dad dad for 4 hours and the dog crapping next to the barbeque before pissing off with my burger!!!!!!!
No contest really

(Anyway if you get close to the van it is actually quite patchy as I didnt get the heat right so I need to do it)

Let me know your ideas

Dan
