If Exonion (love your posts by the way) is Mr Boring then I must be Mr Dull.
Three GTIs on the trot. All Deep Black Pearl.
Like Exonion I've owned or driven lots of cars/vans/trucks/tanks/buses/bikes. I have sort of settled on the GTI being the one for me. And I like black.
Ohhhh you'll make me blush!
I always assumed people just put up with my scatty rantings like they do with a slightly embarrassing nutty relative!!
I like black.
My other car is black.
At least it used to be, it's more just dirt colour now and just like my dirt coloured R it breaks my heart every time I look at it.
Black just takes so much work but is so rewarding when it's clean.
In my old house I had a wide hardstanding at the back of the house on a service road (cul de sac) that you could park three cars on and come light rain or shine I'd be out there practically every week cleaning the cars with the only exceptions being when it was so cold the hosepipe was frozen or if they were heavily salting the roads making it pointless cleaning the car.
Then I moved to a building site and after four months of my cars taking a daily barrage of sand storm followed by a mud bath when winter hit I just gave up the battle.
Maybe when I retire I'll be able to afford an Aygo with my pension and once again I'll be the eccentric guy out there polishing his car in all weathers. They will have hopefully stopped building the magnolia boxes in my neighbourhood by then.
By choice and to fit in with my Mr Boring image I've always been a fan of mid grey and silver.
