Its been 18 months since I sold it and nearly 2 years since I had the photos taken for my total vauxhall feature, and 17 months since they were printed.

Many know, that I regretted selling it and even the replacement GSi Turbo didnt do the job...so with a property in sight I decided to get a bespoke bit of art done for the hallway/lounge.

Included the show and shine plaque I won at VBOA 2005, and the VBOA 2005 plaque itself.

Thanks to Pete Jones (Painz) for the inspiration, as he did the same with his corsa feature.

Thanks to a couple of members on here to make it possible too

So here we are:













Im well pleased with it

I didnt do it. I took it to a framing centre/art shop to be done.

But yeh, I got three copies of the magazine, chose the frame etc, and they set to work. Turned it around in a week.

I paid family rates of £50 - which is cheap by all accounts. I did anticipate £100 originally...Painz can confirm what he paid. Im not at one to disclose that
