    I know what ya mean there too:rolleyes:
    I find I get better hotels (and rental cars) if the customer does the booking.
    The crowd I work for would book hostels and bicycles if we let them away with it:D

    I now send instructions as to where I want to stay (within the miserly budgets of course :D)

    To be fair, you'd be able to drive so fast that all anybody would see is a toxic snot green blur...

    RS has to be performance blue or white imo, but alot of people like the green, same for people who like orange ST's, there is no reasoning when it comes to personal taste.

    Don't mind the blue or white (to an extent), or the colours of the performance fiats, yellow being the one I can think of.

    That green though! Just personal taste as you say to be honest :)

    Some cars look okay in Green....

    Neighbor has one of these..... Apart from the fact that the only thing that could make this look nice is a high speed crash, I think the colour works with it.

    To be fair, if your gonna be driving something a bit mental, surely you wouldn't want some mundane colour on it? I kinda like it:o you'd struggle to lose it in a car park that's for sure!

    Very few cars I could live with in the colours you see ST's and Lambo's in but these I could certainly tolerate:

    CSI in Italian is the work of the devil

    Italian swear words are great, they all seem to have the same emphasis as bad swear words in English, and are never uttered in jest.

    Ah come on! If you're going to have an outlandish car, you might as well have it in an outlandish colour!

    They are ludicrously fragile, to the point that using a jack to lift it can crack the underbody :(

    And they can't be put up on a lift because this will happen:
