Evening all.
Going to join the club, so thought I'd join the forum too and say hello.
Owned my 06 Velocity Red 231 about two years now.
Only test drove it on a whim because it was local. Instantly wanted it and bought it 5 days later. Needs a little bit of body TLC, but I also own a 70s Triumph, so I'm used to that.
Would post some pics, but photobucket doesn't appear to work anymore. :roll:

Oooo wow that looks lovely! Especially liking the black contrast on the roof and smoked indicators/lights accents :thumleft:

Appreciate the kind words. I did originally black out the taillights, but I grew tired of it eventually and ordered some smoked LED ones to replace them with. Was looking at doing some of the insane illumaesthetic ones, but they were a little spendy at the time.

I've never been one for mod shopping lists as such. Plus there's a lot more planned. I'll end up changing it monthly :lol:
