Yes I do! small world, he started after me, see him from time to time when they are up this way, we’ve done quite a few tours together. He came by here earlier this year, we spent 3 months doing the Cure in 89, which was a fun tour, remember driving down from Budapest to Athens over the Corinthian canal, my girlfriend at the time was doing dressing rooms on Pink Floyd and we both played diffrent stadiums at around the same time, so both crews were in the same hotels in Athens then over to Italy and down across southern France and into Spain, for once the routing was good in the summer too!
I stopped full time in 92 to satrt making signs when my first daughter was born, but did quite a few tours after that through the 90’s to subsidise the signbusiness and make buying equipment easier.
These days I just get them parking up at home when they are up this way…which is great…we’re all getting older and alot greyer 🙂
This is my old Scania in Zurich
The livery has changed now with more emphasis on EST rather than Edwins name.
Apologies for hijacking the post a little to take a trip down memory lane!!

Its ok Shane, that isn’t my real job either!
It was the result of stating if I didn’t run a sub 13 second 1/4 mile in my freshly vinyl coated car I would run the strip naked.
My car was poorly and I missed by 0.2 seconds 🙁
Not sure what drew more attention to the car……………..

Mate, from a bloke that has a body that has women scream when I wear my speedo’s (they scream things like PUT A SHIRT ON and THAT IS DISGUSTING! … and that is just my wife 🙄 ) I fully appreciate that you must have REALLY thought the car could do the sub 13.
Perhaps next time, you could bet if it fails the sub 13 again, you’ll down some beers in record time or something. 🙂
Nothing so drastic next time eh. At least if you do something like this again, warn me that you will have it on your avatar. I had my 7 year old daughter looking over my shoulder when I saw this the 1st time. She said ‘look dad, there is a picture of you with no clothes on……’ 😮

It has been sub 13 since, it was just a problem on the day.
As a competetive swimmer I tend to run around with not much more on a lot of the time. This also means that I dont drink so the beers is not an option.
I shall remove my avatar if you wish, but it was really there for Jills benefit as she said the rear view was the best :lol1:

BigDave,
I was just looking at this photo and wondered if the graphic VR 4 was red vinyl laid over silver or if you have airbrushed the silver to form the drop effect? -
Andy, its all vinyl. Probably the craziest method ever but it worked for me! Used the software to create 2 copies of the text, moved one to a position to get a shadow and then welded the 2 together. The red is therefore has a complete copy in grey beneath it, rather than a grey ‘outline shadow’ if you catch my drift?

Thanks bigdave.

Nah does not worry me. I’d leave it there personally. The response to Jills comment was lost on me I am afraid.
