All car’s colours should be somewhere on the greyscale imho. Darker the better for me but I appreciate some may prefer something lighter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 On the MG/Dacia/Vauxhall shite, people do realise they're virtually all the same car dependent on what engine you go for, dont you? Its like the dogshite 1.2 cars that go about now, all of them with the dogshit Peugeot engine. Doesn't matter if its a Citreon, Vauxhall, Peugeot, or Toyota, if its a modern 1.2 then its the exact same car and you're literally paying entirely for how it looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
