That name rings a bell
I've met an old guy down at Chameleons bodyshop & I don't recall him being coloured, he had just sprayed a white car though...

Clearly none of the directors were that great to have let one fo the directors do that. Being naive is no defence! Especially not in business.

Dave started PVD, originally PVC (think, (Stockkkkeerrrrrr, need you to confirm?).
Basically, Dave started it off, it started making a little money (white/purple Demo car, C4RSA). Pete got jealous as he was working at Curries and said either to make him partner or he'd start his own business. Dave caved in, made Pete Partner.
It started off small, Dave was going out with Guppy fish, she made his life hell, he decided to get out of it. So gave it to Pete.
NExt up dave changed his mind and started Chameleaon Automotive. His bodyshop was run by Dex (Black dude mentioned). Dex done a few cars (including an AWFUL job on my spare wheel arch removal, 1x cable tie the rear brake compensator anyone........  ). I don't think it made any money as Dave was just the middle man. He gave up.
Everything parted then, CS, PVDPoof got obsessed by Vicki, peopel started selling up, Dave moved to India. Only us gullable people kept the cars and spent even more on them 
Not to mention Rich, who was friends with everyone, he went off and started working in a bodyshop, and then moved on to that company that done the camoflage Escort. Midas or something.
All roughly, it was a long time ago now.

Lee, thats the first time i've seen that car in ages.....
Time before that it was red, with sideskirt clips, but no sideskirts, shes come a long way....
I've just been on the phone to Swindon Race engines as well
200bhp for jsut over £1k, without throttle bodies...
D4 may be coming out to you soon...... (but then i'll need the engine back out). How are you booked up for errrr, all of winter?
Im getting the bug, i blame your track car, Grigglett, and me getting her out from under the cover the other day

All the people who took the bus into school from GX way would talk about your car, we got excited when we saw it in Max Power
