My question is: Why does GOD need mirrors?

(and why doesn't he drive an estate?)

I really like that chocolate colour. I remember seeing a really dark chocolate Amazon in the background in one of those Vietnam films, I think Apocalypse Now, and liked that too.

Its a colour that would normally make me instantly vomit if I saw it on a Hillman Hunter or an Allegro (I could actually vomit at the mere sight of an Allegro of any colour to be fair)yet on an Amazon brown just looks...well......er, so right somehow.

Something like this?

On advantage of the colour, which I didn't think of when I bought the car: it would make it very hard to see the rust on it 42 years later.

I would add just a touch (more?) gold.

Forty-two years....

Looks like a nice shack up there too.

Did trophies for our church car show a couple of years back.
One we came up with was WWJD. What Would Jesus Drive?
I figured my wifes Amazon Estate would win it. But a VW Bus got it. LOL
