(Ok, now that I've got your attention, Samurai!)...

Could you post some pics of your car? Some of the guys at work want to see it.

Oh God....

I don't have any on my pc bandi, or I'd post them for him.
I know he's got plenty, he took lots of them after the paint job.

i'd disguise a Ford too if I had to be seen driving it around.

Bandi,

Enjoy.

Thanks

My uncle when he first started out with Ford worked in the field research branch of the R&D department which they would do the drive tests in public. Generally, if they need to leave the emblems on, they would place gaffers tape over them, but they rather not even have them on because there was on auto reporter that actually removed them and took pictures of the prototype car that became the 3rd generation Ford Escort while the car was in a parking lot of a Dennys.

He also mentioned to me the tell tale signs of a test vehicle is in the license plates. GM and Ford use the manufacturer plates from Ontario and Michigan; generally they use the Ontario one in Michigan and vice versa. I know, its a cheap trick.
