Ok ...Golf Cabrio is sort of 50/50 ...but in that colour??

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I don't think I would want to be seen in it (never mind drive it or own it)

Probably a fairly good example, though ...

a very good example of "washing up" liquid green

Actually ...I find that green Audi sort of ...shall we say ...DARING ...:D

Wouldn't mind buying that one ...not for that price though ...

jaysus look at the leather on that Audi. The original owner must've had dreadful taste

imagine buying that - with money

I met my cousin recently (a bloke). He was a bit of a fashion victim when younger but I would have considered him a reaonably cool dude. His Mum told me he had a new car and I assumed the 3-series I'd just seen was his.
However...turned out he'd bought a Peugeot 307 Convertible (!) Couldn't believe it... lost all respect for the guy!

The only thing that puts me off the Golf is the interior. I like dark colours on cars generally and if the purple was slightly darker it could be very nice. The interior on the Audi is hideous.

That Audi looks like the original purchaser was 'off his bin' when he chose those options. Hideous. Makes me want to vomit.

A leather re-trim would sort that Golf out!

Thats the sort of car a Foxrock executive would buy his bimbo wife for travelling to and from the Dundrum Centre.

Is there room for her pet poodles in the back ?

colm_mcm

a bit old for that isn't it.

A 206 CC would be more appropriate!

I'd easily take the Golf except VWs are overpriced and not nearly as block reliable as people would have you believe.

The Audi's exterior colour is fine but have you taken a close look at those seats.

They'd make some1 with a migrane vomit

Yeah I worked on a Pink Beetle Cabriolet. Wasn't the nicest. What's even worse was the fact that I was cleaning a Pink Beetle Cab. Boy did I feel masculine :rolleyes:

I think it's good to see a regeneration of vivid and different colours. lead by the Focus ST, makes a change from silver silver and silve

It's strange but since I've been born, my family has never had a silver car. We had:
white 88 Spacewagon
wine 92 Spacewagon
white 95 Spacewagon
navy 99 Spacewagon
dark green 92 Micra Jap Import
black 93 MR2 Jap Import
pale-ish green (Celadon Green is the proper name) 03 Sonata
red 97 Micra

My brother recently bought a silver 323F but he's moved out a good while.

I don't see white cars coming back into fashion with people being richer and being able to afford metallic paint (the reason the 95 was white)

Silver has become really popular in the last 7 years. maybe your next car will be silver!

Could well be, what's the new Sonata like in Silver? Although my mam did like the black one in the showroom

Apple? as In Chris Martin's kid. Would've thought "Yellow" would be more her colour

Hyundai black is terrible, the quality of the finish is appaling

black and red is grand, but WHITE, WINE, GREEN? Yuch.

The wine suited the car when it first came out. It was one of the first Spacewagons in the country.
The amount of money for the company car was only enough to get a white one second time around.
The green Micra looked very well, it was a dark green.
And the Sonata I like in the green

The one in the link is the same colour

I think the colour on this car suits but wouldn't look so well on most cars.

I would love to buy it.

Yeah that colour really suits the Bimmer.
