Post by: Jap GT300 on November 7, 2004, 19:54
Much better than the Silver they were only commissioned in.

Trully hideous..........

How come a company like Zagato can work beautiful miracles on Astons, yet produce such hideous monstrosities like this?!!!

It doesn't look good in ANY colour.............  s:? :? s:?    s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Looks like a Catfish, though Adam is right the red is so much better than the Silver.  Though not sure why it appears to have FTO wheels.

IMO I reckon if its flash its got to be red, if its subtle it should be silver.

This has to be red.

Only talking in principle.

I agree with you, as in Kit (Knight Rider). Did I get the name right?

Two t's  s;) ;) s;)  KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) - and KITT was shiny black  s:) :) s:)

I imagine DP meant more like the police cars in Robocop, or the Interceptor in Mad Max (although it looks, in some shots, like that was shiny at some point in it's life  s:) :) s:) )

Erm, anyway..  s:) :) s:)

I thought he had the capability of disappearing, which is what I was inferring? Or am I thinking of a Stealth bomber.   s:? :? s:?  Any way, shiny or otherwise, IMHO black tends to blend any automotive architecture into one big amorphous blob. If you are after hiding your mods, paint them black, which is what we all seem to be saying should happen here.

Can't remember if KITT could disappear or not - probably, or maybe that was Airwolf.. Both were black though, and both have morphed into an amorphous blob in my memory  s;) ;) s;)

You're right though - black does flatten everything off.. My 300ZX is black, and I dearly, dearly wish it wasn't - it just doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the other colours :'(

Glad I picked a blue MR2  s:) :) s:)

Good spot!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

In Japan it is customary to pee over a car to show your appreciation for it's spendid beauty.

.... thats why I ain't buying any of your really really nice imports!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
