I'm not usually into changing threads around, but I got confused.  I'll move it back if you like.

I like that analog clock more every time I see one.  With my left-hand drive car I'm thinking that the clock should be on the left.  It's hard to get at the stereo when it's mounted right next to the wheel.  I'm starting to think that a RHD console might do the trick...

Anyway, that paint job is superb...do you and your Dad do a lot of painting?  That yellow-orange color is almost shocking - I really like it.  I'll bet other drivers can see you from a long way off!

My dad, neither Iam are car painters.
Instead my dad is a master car mechanic (I dont know if you actually call it master in english).
The tires were painted at his company.
It is a neon color, meaning depending on daytime (lightning) the color looks alittle different, at night its more like dark orange, while when the sun is shining it really looks bright.
About your point, yes alot of people look at it.
That for sure is not the reason I chose that color.
Instead Im just a big fan of the color orange. :D
I thought about painting the car in black, but im not certain yet.

Thank you for your comment.

That is very sharp, and I typically do not like bright wheels. Very nice car.

We absolutely do.  They're usually certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence...their official title is ASE Technicians or Master Technicians.  I just call them by their first name though - you always have to be on a first name basis with your mechanic!

I prefer the term "grease monkey" for an inexperienced tire or lube attendant.:D
