I remember seeing an Orange GTR with Black centered wheels in the classifieds.
Has anybody got pictures of this car or indeed pictures of a similar car ie, orange and black

Many Thanks

Barry

That was Nick's (vipernick) car in the classifieds. He sent me some pictures of it. I also have a pic of an orange Can Am that I have come across. I can e-mail my orange Ultima collection to you if you like. I hope to build an Orange GTR one day.

As you are all well aware, BLACK IS BOSS but I have to say, Orange is Outasight! I keep coming back to look at the GTR in this colour, it really suits the shape of the car. thumbup

Wow, Wayne admitted another color was ok. Was this the start of the apocolypse? And yes the car definitely looks good in orange. It highlights a lot of the shape nicely.

I do like the white one with blue stripes. Very different to the average and suits the car very well. Makes the car look, dare I say it, less plasticky.

Damn, I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with the colour war! Oh well, there goes another New Years resolution.

Didn't realise you could only like one thing. Not getting into the colour debate, but black is a litle, well, safe, unimaginative, boring. Isn't it?

Of course you can like whatever colour you like, thankfully this is still a democracy that we live in and to my knowledge, this is not a debate, so nothing to get into is there?

Having said that, it pains me to read your views on the best colour.
Safe! Damn right, but what is the problem with choosing a colour that you just 'know' is going to look the best? I think you will find that is why you regard it to be safe, you just KNOW that
Unimaginative? It is most definitely the right choice but at the end of the day, it is no more or less imaginative than any lesser colour.
BORING......I can only imagine that you are confusing this with understated, suave, sophisticated, you know,the 'less is more' approach.

I am confident that the more time you spend dwelling on colour choice, common sense, good taste and logic will in the end prevail. I for one would NEVER give up on a lost soul and would like to state here and now, I am here for you buddy thumbup

Mine will be pretty much the same colour scheme as the last track car

Doesn't stop me liking the white and blue car any less though

I quite agree with you on that one scoob (hope you don't mind me calling you that) and please do not think for one moment that I would even think about saying that you, or any body else for that matter, should or shouldn't like any damn thing you want!
I have an open mind and champion individuality to the max but with regards to the current subject of the best colour for an Ultima, you know it makes sense

What colour is that devilishly good looking track car above?
