I thangyou. I'm here all week.
No it made me laugh - I am having dental problems - eating liquidised food - taking too many pain killers with alcohol.
But you did put a smile on my face - thanks...

So long as he's paid the tax, insured it, and is safe, it's his problem. I've enough problems of my own without worrying about other people's taste, or lack thereof.
A young bloke turned up to visit next door in an Audi RS7. I'd guess £40 -£50k? It's covered in what is presumably a wrap, and it's suede. My wife saw it and used that slightly hushed questioning tone which is normally reserved for when I've done/said something that's exceeded social norms by some significant measure, "Is that? Is that car covered in suede?"
No accounting for taste I suppose.

Maybe it's just inside out, like when you take your socks or jumper off and the furry bit ends up on the outside.
It's probably a nice shiny gloss colour inside.

When I lived in the Philippines there was an American diplomat guy living down the end of the street. He had a Porsche turbo wrapped in satin blue carbon fibre finish, and a Ford Explorer wrapped in some sort of matt cloth finish, maybe not suede but it looked very unlike paint or vinyl. Of all the colours to have on a car, when average outside temp was 35c most days of the year.A young bloke turned up to visit next door in an Audi RS7. I'd guess £40 -£50k?

He also had a red Ferrari, in normal paint. I guess he was on a decent take home wage.
I once checked the temp on the roof of our dark green Corolla: 62c at 3pm. Literally, egg cooking temperature.

A lot of people put wraps on to sell as they hide poor paint

In the late 60s there was a similar product called Velvotex IIRC? Used an electrostatic charge to make the stuff stand up , there was a Lotus Europa done with it in the Cambridge area at the time

Rally cars use flocking on the dash to reduce glare it’s half powder coat technology and looks great when done by a pro the eBay kits are awful

Theres a car around this way covered in astroturf and possibly one covered in fur.
My other half used to frequent the top Alex in Southend with a bunch of biker mates, one summers evening they were outside the pub & a guy kept cruising past the pub in a ford zodiac that had been covered externally with electric pink fur.
After the third circuit they all bought pints of guiness & waited for him to come round again which he duly did. Apparently he was not a happy bunny!
