I saw a modern Alfa in that same shade of maroon and I must say it looked very smart. If I see it again, I'll grab a photo of it...

Spotted whilst out and about in the home of the Cock and Bull legend...

Amazed to see it's a Lotus - allegedly... Looks about as sporty as a wheelbarrow... Badge engineered or have Lotus sold their soul to the SUV-Devil?

Identical to youngest daughter's. Hers was oddly enough a 900, not a 93. Earliest production with all SAAB bits, the later ones were full of GM bits.

When my daughter was serving in the RAF in Berlin all her mates (the males) went for Saab turbos, they were able to buy them with large discounts at the time.
She bought herself a VW Beetle in that yellow colour which turned out to be a bit of a dog. :(

This dark metallic green is really growing on me...

The Pug 308 seems to have grown into a bit of a lardy, ugly monster... I might love the colour but I have no love for the car...

A Pug 5008 in a very striking red very nearly got the Falcon Shutter Click yesterday down at Killingworth Lake. Very nice colour. I did photograph something in a very dull colour which was lardier than I recalled from the 1960's when my Grandpa had one of them.....

Not for this thread though but here
