Could just get a life size picture of his tf airbrushed onto the wall.... How in keeping with the neighbourhood it would be I'm not sure lol

How about a montage of old F/TF parts dynabolted to the wall in true modern art style?

Jasmin, grows like an ivy but without the weight and smells nice, when flowering.
I also like the idea Bacchus had, I have a stack of parts, starting with front wishbones, cams................

Al'a top gear art exebhition? <- why cant i spell that?

its good how people all come together in this ropey weather, I have spent the past 4-5 day pushing, digging and getting pushed or dug out the village....... utter maddness!

today is better, but it seems a bit odd not not needing a shovel everytime you drive

If you can still get it - how about some flock wallpaper? That would look quite special! :crazy:

Ivy, work of the devil! It destroyed my fence, glad to get rid of the stuff! Good job it didn't damage the car.

I am giving some thought as to whether to grow something else there or to paint the wall with a textured masonary paint.
