Well, the new Creation livery is also not my cup of tea, but hey, it's at least something different compared to the usual standard race car liveries which are dictated by the corporate and/or the sponsor's colors.

It's an "art-car" in the tradition of the Roy-Lichtenstein-painted BMWs in the 70's or 80's

It belongs in the fairground- wonder if the pit crew will be wearing dirty jeans and diamond pattern woolen jumpers?

They could have a wonderful merchandising sideline- creation candyfloss, a rifle range and an old hag with a crystal ball ' i can see a silver car on the podium' etc. Keep an eye out for the old Foden with 4 trailers smoking its way down the N138 you early birds!

One of our crew has landed himself a job delivering racecars, and he's managing to irritate the hell out of me by sending me phone pics of each car he delivers as he rolls it off the back.
Yesterday it was the 007 LM Bentley, today it was the Creation Zytek. Last week was the Aguri Suzuki and some race 911s and a mustang (from the legends (?) race at Donington). Oh, and a liteweight E, and the LM Astons.....
I think he's on his way to Monaco now.
This morning I sent him a pic of my desk and keyboard.
If it happens again, then I'm afraid I'll be taking my next pic in the Gentlemans Toilet.

Nice work if you can get it. One off our lads is 6 months into a delivery job- he delivers sanitary ware to the incontinent. Nice.

Although it looks like a 'showmans' wet dream i would pay £2 for 3 laps. I'm such a hypocrite at times!
Smokey- Jonny piss pants as he is now known loves his job, gets to go all over the place and has tea with old folk. Must stink in some of those houses tho!

Come to think  of it- jonny PP is used to dealing with the old, decrepit and  infirm- should have put him forward for a place on the CA committee.:-)

The most striking paintwork I've seen at LM were the Mercedes 'cut n peeled back' bodywork exposing engine etc, and the very pink 911 with cartoon near naked ladies.

I'll be searching my files for these next weekend and post them.

Well you won't find any of that Merc at LM as it never ran at LM. Only in the FIA GT Series.
