TV - Cars & MOT Checking

[STEMO]

I know one of the more productive salesmen at my local Audi dealership who drove an RS6 Performance in Nardo Grey. He wasnt overly impressed when I casually asked when it was going back for its colour coat

While I was polishing the car yesterday, one of the mechanics from the garage down the road parked the Focus RS he'd just finished working on. It's painted a solid dark grey, with shiny black wheels and opaque privacy glass - legal, so the front drop glass is just tinted to look really stupid. It looks hideous. You wouldn't pick such a combination from a colour chart printed in black and white, down a coal mine, during a power cut.

Someone obviously did Nick.  Perhaps their guide dog chose it. 

Or, heaven forbid, some people might have their own opinions of what constitutes a good looking car.

Not even a cost option!!!!!  That's right, you can have wanky grey FOR FREE! 

Obviously catering for the people who might actually go out and spend their money on such a car, instead of those who prefer to hang on to their cars for 20 years or so

My last Mk2 Granada was Nimbus Grey over Strato Silver.

Clean and shiny it almost looked like the lower panels were chrome. If you squinted. And ignore the one gold and one dark green front wings

Oh I know it was standard.


It was darker than that. And an estate, for extra drab.


Plus like many modern high output engines it makes a horrible noise, and lots of it.

All part of the ego-massaging crutch required by those who buy them.

Like the tawt with the gay BMW 1 series up the road from me. My kit car used to pop and bang on the overrun like that, oh, about 10 minutes into mapping the fuel injection. It was soon fixed, but now they have to add that at the factory, it seems.
