One unsuspecting Rover, about
to be "fiddled" with. |
|
Just look at the comedy rust!
Time for a paint-job, methinks. |
|
Not only rust, but also bad
spray-job blotches. Nice. |
|
Check out the non-matching
Peugeot wheel trim. Class. |

Feel the power! Note the
all-important Haynes manual. |
|
Spartan, yet functional.
She even has a rev counter! Seriously. |
|
Doesn't look too bad from the
back. I knew a girl like that. |
|
The rust just gets worse! |
| |
|
|
|
|
|

 |
|
The big man, holding a big bit
of the car. Cheesy bastard! |
|
Getting her ready to take a
couple of air horns. |
|
Nick displaying his handiwork
on the "scanner" grille... |
|
... And the rear of the grille.
Good work fella! |

Some quality masking work,

|
Air horns in place. Note
strategic use of gaffer tape. |
|
The fine fellow on the left is
Russ Jones, who helped! |
|
Shome very sexy boys, for shure.
Passh the baby oil! |

Hand painted, using brushed-on
garage door paint. Mmm. |
|
One mean beastie. Note
the modified front bumper. |
|
Scanner and air horns clearly
visible. Top kwality stuff! |
|
Nearly there. She's
starting to look just like KITT... Or not. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Behold! KITT lives once
more! Albeit in a 1989 Rover 213. |
|
The obligatory arse shot.
Note the Pontiac & V8 badges!! |
|
Well, it's only fair.
Team Hass are nothing if not polite. |
|
Unless you're a man...
Obviously. |
| |
|
|
|
|

|
An excellent shot of the grille
"scanner". |
|
Neither of these wing badges
are true. Note crap paint-job. |
|
I couldn't find a "no mingers"
sticker, so this'll do. |
|
Check the graphics! With
thanks to Big Al Morgan. |

A cheeky close-up. Cheers
Dad - you da man! |
|
One last shot of the
graphics... For they are truly excellent. |
|
Team Hass have a pub lunch in
The Volunteer (UK). |
|
An arty-farty shot of the same
gaff... And some bloke. |

Ready and waiting in Dover, 3
hours early. Great. |
|
The sponsor stickers on our
black car were less than successful... |
|
So we used the spare red Fablon
my arrfella gave us. |
|
Enjoying a drink or two on the
on the boat (training). |

One night at the shitty Bonsai
Escale Hotel (Calais). |
|
The Bonsai Escale was a total
toilet. This scummy toilet, in fact. |
|
Nikos "accidently" tried to
kick his way out. |
|
The charming Bonsai Escale from
the outside. Ugh. |

Check out the comedy sign.
Snigger, snigger. |

|
 |
|
We stopped for a "comfort
break" at the Swiss border. |
|
As we were to discover,
Switzerland is a singularly humourless country. |
|
The Swiss meet-up. |
|
We have no idea where we picked
up this damage! |
| |
|
|

|
Nikos gets us Sat Nav-ed up for
the journey to Italy. |
|
The Swiss meet-up, this time
from a DIFFERENT angle. Oh yes. |
|
The crew of the Black Pig spy
land ahoy. Arrrrrrr! |
|
The Swiss meet-up, er, again. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Oh, for Chrissakes. Yes,
it's the Swiss meet-up. |
|
You guessed it.
Switzer-bloody-land. |
|
At least the scenery's lovely. |
|
Really, really lovely! |

The Snootiest of all Foxes. |

All very nice up here. |
|
More mountains, etc. |

Challenge 1 was to take piccies
of local scenes... |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Like road signs... |
|
And buildings... |
|
And flags... |
|
And bridges... |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
And more signs... |
|
We included the car in this
one. What cheeky little scamps we are! |
|
Auto-timer pictures always come
out really well. |
|
Down the passes in 2nd gear.
Brakes were screwed. Ah. |
