I've been thinking lately that Chrome Orange just isn't unique enough for my taste, what with these other manufacturers starting to do orange cars and all.

I think this is suitably unique, what do you think?




Yes, I am p1ssing about (bored)! I was saying to OrangeD the other day that an exige would look great in Pink, he of course disagreed. Found out by mistake today how to tinker with colours in photoshop and decided to have a play.

It looks just as I imagined, and I honestly think it looks pretty damn cool - OrangeD even agrees, but don't worry chaps I'm sticking with the Orange....for now....
Mind you, just had a thought - if I go pink, OrangeD won't want to drive it - more driving for me then, albeit on solo runs as I'm sure I'd be expelled from the Bolocs.

Just thought I'd share that with you

It wasnt that colour when I drove by 30 mins ago!

Have you seen the beetle driving the area which is that colour?

I have to agree with OrangeD
still, it is better than grey

Nice but maybe this would be a better idea...



and go buy one of these when you out and about, then I recon you'd be made up for life.



Mind you a friend of mine did sell a TT Coupe in Shocking Pink...car turned up, customer saw the car and didn't like it so cancelled!!! Nice demo for him to drive round in for a few months!!! Wife almost sacked him!!



Edited for poor grammer..I'll get my pink barbie coat!

And don't forget the 'Babe on Board' sticker as well - Oh and perhaps one of those nice fluffy pink steering wheel covers like what I've seen in Halfrauds.

BTW there's a BMW three series convertible that someone has actually sprayed that colour (!!??) in my neck of the woods

If you like it, why not!

May not be the easist car in the world to sell on though... then again it may make it more easy to sell, I can never tell with exotic cars what goes down well.

There is also an FTO pretty much that colour that was bought into the UK last year. So, with the FTO, the BMW and the Exige, you could have some wierdo-fetish pink car club thing going You could organise trips to the Crayola factory or something

Sorry, can't help myself!

Incase anyone didn't notice from my initial post, I was only joking!

What do you think I am, Insane??

Sunday afternoon, bored, hungover, tired, It was all for entertainment purposes - honest.

I will NOT be going to the pink side, EVER!

Lol ... I wonder what the Lotus chaps where "taking" when they came up with vivid greens and yellows ... probably something more stronger than alcohol?

I'm glad they do tho ...
