repaint

My teenage daughter texted me from Newtown (Syd.) thismorning. She was waiting at the bus stop and a yellow 8 was parked across the road and it looked absolutely awesome and fabulous, and could we repaint ours?

This is the same child who told me in August when we ordered that I was too old for yellow, that it was too bright, that it would date rapidly, that it was a bit crude and rude and flash - in other words that it really was a colour suited only for for the Gold Coast (we were already reading L&L's posts.)

How fickle is the female? Suddenly titanium is dead boring.

She's been drugged and brainwashed by an escaped banana bender. Pay the ransom, get her back and put her into therapy.

I saw a Red, Silver and Yellow next to each other, not at a dealers. The best one of the lot was the Silver one - The one with the big tips Go Wildcard!

Cheers,

No need to lock up your daughters , however its nice to see she has finally seen the light and developed great taste .

She is 100% correct Titanium and Silver are for the conservative and BORING rx8 owners .

Timbo i am getting more than my fair share of young ***** in fact i may have to cut back on my appetite as its getting too much of late .


I am currently in Melbourne on partial Bussiness /pleasure /Family trip , its great catching up with old friend s , enemies etc .

I have also been commisioned to sell a home from the Gold coast
so if any of the members has a spare .EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS yes $18,000000.YOU CAN LET ME KNOW , happy to share part of the commission .

Takahashi maybe you would like to purchase a home away from home for your new bride , Linda tells me you are MR money bags .

Glad to see that some of you have noticed that i have not been as active in my posts .

No the Yakuza HAS NOT GOT ME IN FACT I HAVE SUBMITTED THE PROPERTY TO ONE OF THEIR BOSSES IN JAPAN .HA HA HA

YELLOW ROCKS .
cheers

Inflation...

I remember when 18 large was 18 thousand. Sigh.

Sorry - Off topic. I better report myself to the moderator... peek-a-boo

Cheers,

Speaking of paint colours, has anyone seen the Pearl White colour the Japanese get in their colour range?

Never been a fan of driving a "Kelvinator" (i.e. white good appliance), but the white lends itself well to the lines of the 8.

Looks fantastic!

White is THE colour.
I understand it is pearlescent; I also read somewhere that it should become available for other markets in a year or so.
Many years ago we had a Subie svx in pearl white and it was very attractive indeed.
Now that was an under-rated but very good touring car
