I keep seeing an R Line in this colour locally to me.
I do quite like it but would never be bold enough to buy one.

Thats quite a dramatic look!....part of me likes it and the other part that signs the "I'll take it" document wouldn't have the courage  :undecided: having said that the last Cooper S we had was that launch colour they did called volcanic orange.. :whistle:

Looks good in that sunlight, but not for me i'm afraid. On a dull day it's a little reminiscent of chicken korma.

Ha ha. I can see where you’re coming from :grin:. That’s what I’ll be thinking now if I see a Turmeric Golf Golf on a dull day. Agree it looks good in sunlight, but then most car colours look at their best in good, bright light.

Vw have been a little more adventurous with the colour palette on the new Polo with a couple of ‘marmite’ colours; Energetic Orange and Honey Yellow;

I'd quite like to have some energy but alas would opt for Lacking Energy and Enthusiasm Silver

It's funny you should say that, I passed the yellow R Line again this morning with dull overcast skies and it looked completely different to how it radiates colour on a bright day.

Blimey you lot really are a 50 shades of grey lot aren't you.

Have you ever thought about a job driving hearses?

Hearses tend to be black which is the worst colour in the world after dark blue to look after.
There's a funeral director lives around the corner from me and their personal cars are anything but black!  :grin:
In fact one of their relatives/friends/someone who randomly drops by has a white Golf R.
That's my fascinating fact of the day.
