Red leather and fishnets! What a kinky combination lol :lol:

I just love these type of Metros. They are sub-zero COOL. Off the top of me head, I think I've read something about them in the Graham Robson "Metro" book. If you don't already have a copy then I'll dig it out and scan the info for you if you like :)
