New Countryman Episode 2

IRD · Post by **IRD** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 5:06 pm

I took the Countryman into Proteq Detailers in Lincoln on Wednesday for some new car protection treatment. They kept it two days. It has to go back in two weeks for a ‘protected wash’ when I will be provided with some guidance on maintaining the finish.
Pleased with the result.

It's very clean, but still green!

Very shiny, but it ain't no mini.

That looks fantastic, but the bright lighting makes the colour look a bit lighter.

Definitely more of a Maxi though.

Do I take it green isn’t your favourite colour?

Yes it is a bit bigger than the original Mini.
Then in fairness I have grown a little since the 60s. Not in height I might add..

Looks great, do you know what product they used?

PS Think that green would look go on a G29

I think it’s something called Max Protect. The website is max-protect.co.uk

Not really, but it isn't my "Biggi" is it?

I do find it amusing how colour trends on cars go around. If you had said you wanted a green car 20 years ago, you would have been sectioned.

I haven’t had many green ones. But I did have a new green MG Midget back in 1968 and a green Subaru Forester in 2010. My dad was superstitious and wouldn’t have a green are at any price. He believed them to be unlucky.I hope he was wrong!

I had a Emerald green Mazda 323 back in the day. It was one of the last 500 made and had a Mazda V6 Zedos engine. Bought it at 18 months old and sold it 3 years later. It is the only car I have sold for more than I originally paid for it

Saw an M4 in the same green which I was told was Isle of Man Green and it looked great.

This is a limited edition colour which at the moment only on ‘M’ cars but will be available at some point in the future.

The first MG I road tested in the 1970s was an MG Midget in the dark British Racing Green and I loved the colour, couldn't afford it though and ended up with a red MK2 sprite. Would love a z4 in it. I think it became bad luck because the British Racing teams had green for their colour and they kept crashing.
