Burgundy is a lovely colour. First one I saw was in a magazine review.

If it's burgundy and tan, then that's a lovely combo!

Thing is though...it's not burgundy

It's black.

With a purple pearl.

Funnily enough, the same as the old "Midnight Black" pearl they had on the mid 90s Civic 5dr saloon things.

I used to have one, and I've seen Graham's S. It is exactly the same paint

Cmon Pie'n'Chips".

Come clean...

What did you get, and from where did you source..?
And do you owe me a pint for a finders fee?

Edit... And have you been speaking to Angela... If so.. tell her I was asking for her.

Graham it reminds me a little of Pirates black i used to have on the old ATR, I loved that colour.

Ok so you've all probably gathered i've gone for a deep burgundy with brown interior, sourced from a nice chap in Yorkshire. I did ring discount car sales and ended up speaking to Lisa, but they didnt have any stock in

My heart was set on buying a Moonrock right up until friday, but couldnt' find anyone who was carrying stock, hence me thinking about an Indy pearl which was for sale in the trader. I rang Andrew Green and he said he had a deep burgundy coming in and the deal was done this morning and for all those that were interested it does have VSA which should help keep me on the Yorkshire blackstuff

Since this is P'n'C we're talking about, it's probably as well spelling out stage 6 too:

6. Slow down for corners



Nice one, Wayne So glad you didn't go for yet another Mooncock.
