Why all the red cars in Scotland?
Well we've had some entertainment on a thread about a HellRot Coupe in Scotland, which according to Cazana was registered in Edinburgh!
My 325ti Sport was Imola Red and was registered in Dundee, and my nephew's 325i Sport Touring is Imola Red and was registered in Aberdeen.
I was just wondering why so many red cars seem to start life North of the border - is it so they stand out in the snow?
Maybe some of our Scottish members can shed some light.

Lynchy rescued his Imola ///M Roadster from Scotland IIRC.
I think that there is a disproportionately large number of Zeds in Scotland.

Well I'd have to agree with you there! Still that's OK - my Dad was born in Muir-of-Ord.
I wonder where Marlon's car began life?

Fantastic open fast roads attract good cars.
And then you have to paint them red, so you can see them through the cr#p weather and swarms of man eating midges.

It’s the only country in the UK with so little sun that the paint doesn’t fade to orange in 5 years.
