Cool

Mine is now re-designated "Seagull Greeen"

That's because whenever these bloody shi*ehawks paste it with their filth, I can't even see it!

Is it mussels? Is it crabs? Is it whelks?

Dunno.........but it's a vile green and it sticks like concrete in this hot weather.

I would, truthfully, exterminate all of them, and the STUPID holidaymakers who come down here and think it's cute to feed these flying vermin!

Mine's 'Arctic Green Pearl' but looks like gold to a lot of folk but others call it 'Baby sick green', not nice are they, that type of person.
Main thing is we like it, the old thingy and me.

Current car is Black Sapphire.
