THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

Very nice Obbie, you will have to take it to the drive-in 

[goldfish]

I have never thought too much about colour and safety - I always get red because it's my favourite colour and the car looks like it's going fast even when it's parked.

  excellent rationale there Mich!!

Kim that color looks really nice, I too like driving a white car and it doesn't show the dirt too much.

+1...we've gone from a white to a black to a silver and back to a white.
Loved black but too much of a pain to keep clean, it was like a dust magnet and dusty black cars just don't look nice.
Also dark colours show swirl marks and scratches  very easlily in sunlight....a lot of this is caused by incorrect washing methods though.

My only issue with white is that we own two turbo charged hatch backs and they do tend to leave a little black soot on the rear hatch lip,
which shows up on white!

I also think the type and style of a car just looks better in certain colours, but then Ive always loved cars, never used to be a fan of white
but now am (depending on the white) and yes, they can even look quiet shiny (wet look) depending on the plant job and products used....

Way too much info....typical me when Im passionate about something...Im tha same with my TM and iPads too

Hehe, love it....I've also heard on the car forum I belong to that rev heads always want to race red cars, so look out for them too  Mich

Looks awesome obbie, love that shine...white can `pop' can't it
Do you belong to any classic car clubs?

[obbie]

Yes we joined a car club last month. we took it to a  "show and shine" in October, and everyone just loved it.

This year we can enter, so we hope to win with it.

Then to get our HR done up, but we drive that around now, it just needs a  new paint job.

Kim I love your DH's car and the colour. Robyn the PV is great. DON'T go to the drive in, you know what happens in pv's there. 

I must remember to show your photos to DH.

[obbie]

We only have 1 drive in, and its about 45 - 50 minutes drive....

I have a red car too. Red cars definitely go faster.

Nice car Frozzie.
Nice panel van Robyn.
Yep needs curtains mich

Robyn, at the drive in (probaby at the end of  the era of the PV) - "if its rockin don't come knocking"!!

Sorry but I don't see the attraction with cars, don't really care what I drive as long as its reliable and no interest in the color or making sure it's cean.
