A silver one anybody?

I thought i had seen one in silver in passing last week but then thought I must have been mistaken as Id assumed they didnt come in silver as they have all been red, black and blue so far.. i think silver suits it 
They certainly seem to be rare in silver but I am going to go against the grain as I find silver to be a very wishy washy colour, it's neither here nor there.

I remember in around the 2000's when you walked into a Mercedes showroom 90% of the cars on the lot were silver, silver Mercs were all the rage back then. I used to have a Lachs Silver E30 3 series which was actually very nice colour since it had a hint of grey in it and we have had other silver cars in the household in the past too but now I have gone off them and find silver to be very a dull colour which is difficult to match properly if you need a panel repainting.
But yes it's true premium cars will always do better in 'safe' colours such as silver black grey dark blues and recently white (although not sure how long white will remain in flavour). I've always like the more 'interesting' colours, my E46 was topaz blue and my F20 was Melbourne red, when I bought my E89 black was at the bottom of the list but now I have got it and had it detailed I have to say it looks stunning, mean and agressive yet classy at the same time but it has to be kept clean or otherwise looks crap.
Thats the beauty of silver though, it can be dirty and still look clean 
people always comment how clean my merc daily is even if I haven't washed it for weeks, I can leave the washed and waxed dsb z4 on the drive undriven and after 3 days it looks filthy just from dust 
Right enough it does look fantastic when freshly done but it just doesn't last. I think when I eventually move on Ill be avoiding really dark colours next time

Who knew that the quickest way to move from one Welsh valley to the one beside it was to roll over the crest.

Funniest bit was after we took off from Marham. The jockey says "Look, that's Peterborough in 8 minutes, your fancy 2.8i Capri wouldn't even be out the camp gates yet!".john-e89 said:enuff_zed said:6 was enough, believe me!john-e89 said:

That 'jockey' ended up as Sir Stephen Hillier, Chief of the Air Staff. so he obviously listened to my advice!
