Good to see the car stayed in the forum, Quite agree with you about the colour, if Vauxhall sold the V.X.R. in yellow I would have bought that,but settled for the fastest colour......red, look forward to seeing the again and meeting you at meet soon.

Note to the "colour debate".
I'm sure ( after looking at loads of diff models in diff colours) that diff colours suit diff models..

The CV8 looks great in the lighter clolour because the smooth lines of those models can take the light colours better.
The Vxr models look better in darker colours. but the bodywork is more detailed with more lumps and bumps to cast shadows....


Im sure an "arty" person could explain why in real terms but thats how it seems to me...

I am a yellow fan.

I have a yellow BMW R1200GS and had a yellow R1150GS.
Have had a couple of yellow cars & other bikes and would have gone for the yellow Monaro but, it's the wrong yellow for me.

If it was close to Daytona yellow (the Ford yellow) I would have had it but for me at least, it's a little too close to custard yellow and all the school dinner conotations therein.


Red is best 'cos it's a near as dammit Ferrari red which is aceypaceybrill.

Hey Harry.. We live in Abingdon, just sth of Oxford. Back in Oz this week but hope to be back for the Bathurst meet EH Rob is organising 1st weekend of October. And for what it's worth... real sports cars are black red or yellow (black is best of course.. not that i'm biased!)
