True, but how many do you actually see on the road everyday? I see mainly white, red, black and the occasional grey ones on a regualar basis.

fair point the only other oak green i have ever seen on the road was last yr in bristol and its was my friends frined, its a show car and made my jaw drop think it only ever comes out on super sunny dry days  :grin:

ive got a while to go before mine is in any sort of condition like that!

I see mainly white, because they are the dopest! And maybe the odd red, black and the occasional grey ones on a regualar basis.

Fixed for you Mart.  :wink:

BBM is one of my favourites though, Blue's car looks amazing!
