Sorry, but I think it's the colour of canine diarrhoea.

That lovely metallic red exterior would be much better-complemented with a white (or very light cream) coloured leather interior.

I don't even like tan leather in Ferraris or Lamborghinis, it just looks awful.

chocolate looks like the colour of human sh*t but i bet you still eat it

Yup, and there's a reason why it's called "pavement pizza" but I still eat normal pizza too

I know, colour is such a subjective thing, and everyone's opinions differ wildly. It's just totally not for me.

Sorry to hear about your car Gary; a knackered head gasket is never good. Hope you land yourself a sweet deal on a good replacement. You'd have gone to £1400 for that 406, eh? You will definitely get a really good 406 for that kind of money.

Also, don't just limit your search to your immediate area either. I drove all the way from Aberdeen to Earlston (161 miles each way) to look at what became my Coupe, and two years previously, I drove from Aberdeen to Lossiemouth (69 miles each way).

I'm not a huge fan of that interior colour either, is it the same colour as the "tan" from the coupe? Never liked it at the time but I think it's grown on me a bit

, I'd still prefer the lighter "oyster" like mine though, would look lovely with that red!

Tidy motor though mate
