Mine had lived in Scotland so I had no choice but to go black as the surface was like craters on the moon :lol:

Now they are invisible craters, much better than brown though
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo

Nnnooooo!!!!!!
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

My gf suggested to go with blue. I tried to photoshop it and it's not that bad, but I don't know... :idunno:

Ooooo gold, reminds me of being a kid and our neighbours dad got a Datsun 240z, fluffy dice and tiger fur seat covers. He thought it was the mutts nuts It suited his style though, big tash and a gold medalion were his forte.
