Paint also looks different during daylight hours. I'd like to see it in natural sunlight before I pass my own judgement on whether it's "oooh!" or "ewww!"

BTW - who in their right mind tries to sell their car using night-time photos anyway?

Bit like the 406 on ebay I saw over the weekend, and the owner apologised for all the snow inside the car as it was blowing a blizzard whilst taking the photos.
Hello!!!! Wait till it stops snowing!

:arrowu: That one you're on about's not far from me. To be fair to him, it hasn't really stopped snowing since Wednesday! Got about a foot of the stuff on the roof of the 406 atm and due a few more inches again tonight.

Night time photos are good because they hide problems, thats why its best to buy a car in daylight hours.

True.

Though I can't quite forgive Citroen for calling a small car a DS.

C6 should be DS.

The C6 needs a modern name, so its quite appropriate, as for the DS3 remember the 3 bit is all part of it so its one word. But i think its a great looking wee car finally a small luxury car, though the new C4 coming out next year looks even better. When will PSA try again at the hot diesel hatch VW has a bit of a monopoly at the moment with the GTD and i would like to see Peugeot or Citroen hit back. Although the droopy nose of the 308 needs sorted.

I see the connection but what is that, it looks like a big snot.

Lambos do suit yellow, then so does ferraris, come to think of it so does big american taxis like the ford crown victoria. And best of all del boys car.

When I did the single seater at Silverstone they had Lambos on the driving experience doing laps of the full track. Enjoy :thumbs:
