Well, the Tucano is nice but kind of what you expect, but the Hawk......

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

About blummin' time we got a scheme like that!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Looks pretty smart, but to me not very attention grabbing. Not the most colourful looing advertising tool I've ever seen.

Aluminium undersides then.  I'd personally have preferred Night/White but I'm just being picky, it wouldn't be authentic then either.  It must have taken a fair bit of Fairy Power Spray to take the surface off that paint!
