After a lot of deliberation decided to take the plunge and get the car ive wanted for a long time.Picked up a 97 4.2 on friday with 20,000 on it. Spent the weekend either driving it or just looking at it.The girlfriends named it'the hulk' cause its green and noisy.Was always worried about build quality and my fear wasnt helped when this afternoon most of the packing from the rear box baffle decided to come flying out!Rattling like a good one now.Still good reason for the joospeed sports exhaust to go on and really upset the neighbours

Nice one and welcome .

Mine's green too (Starmist), looks like greens the new blue around here .

Things will go wrong but you will love the good so much that the bad will be a small pill to take .

Welcome to the club !

I've got a Starmist green one too (and until 2 months ago was in East Sussex) !

Nah, Green will never be a common as Blue (Green is more distinguished !)

Ouch!

Do you have any idea of how many emails I've had, telling me they look awesome etc etc...
You have to see them in person... you'll change your view....

Hey I used to love green, back then when it was in fashion... the Rover I had was green....
But Green is a 90's colour..... dont you think? Although I do like the green thats got like a charcoal tone to it.... and that super sparkly green on the new T350....

But BGR is long gone....

Starmist Green - Brings Tears to my eyes, how can 1 company make something so beautiful stand out. If I bought a new 1 I'd spec it green to!

... along with having both a mind and temper of its own, and a habit of tearing up the countryside, leaving naught but devastation in its wake. Enjoy.
