Well up until today I have always said that sprint blue is the best colour.

But on my way to work today I saw a horrific sight.
(Worse that seeing Proccy and Theresa naked )

One that will stay in my mind for some time.

Now as they say on the news regarding football scores:-
If you don't want to know then look away now.

I never cried until today.

They've fitted 2 extra doors to their coop - I didn't realise that mod was possible, but it would make it much easier for me to get t'little one in and out of his car seat.

Is there a 'How to' guide on fitting these doors? I have 4 hammers, a can-do attitude and can borrow my mate's angle-grinder for the weekend. Should I start a new thread in the Projects forum ... and then a new thread in the General Maintenance section and, finally, a thread in parts for sale.

smile

Anyway, while we're upsetting sprinty owners, my personal confession:

Click to reveal..
I think the coop looks awful in Sprint Blue, and also in Scots green. Sorry, but there you have it. For me it just doesn't suit those colours.


Dear monos, a secret truth.

JBT all your pics come out really small when I click, is it something I'm doing or can you alter how they're posted?

I can't appreciate the detail of this sprinty mongrel sick

Andrew, despite the fact that we agree on almost everything, I have to say I disagree with you on Sprint Blue! tongue

That's technically in the wrong section laugh but if we're ok going off topic laugh then try this one

Roadking,although this is banter which may not be allowed laugh and going off topic laugh i would say the best colour now is Black.
Note that black was only available on the top of the range model.

And the black Le is the most glamorous especially with the interior.
Unfortunately the cheaper model plus never came with the more expensive interior or the solid black.

I don't know what all this "best colour' is all about. For me the beauty of the coupe is the way it can transform itself chameleon style depending on the colour ie,

Broom yellow; Lamborghini
Ink black; Maserati
Speed red; Ferrari
Scotts green; Jaguar
Moon grey; Porsche
Portofino blue; hairdressers car
laugh
ps.As a former murple owner i'm allowed to say that.
pps. Some of my best friends are murple owners.


Horsing around's a serious business.

Banter mate that goes back years. laugh
Basically Rk was a tight arse and bough a model he's been unhappy with ever since.
He tries to justify what he knows is wrong by bad mouthing the model he loves the most.
The exclusive and limited edition Fiat coupe in black .

I feel sorry that he has lived so long in regret and envy for those members who preffer the finer things in life.

JBT, I'd have your car tomorrow, but I'd have to factor in a new set of Plus seats and a Sprinty respray!

That car cannot be Sprint Blue; I can't see any lacquer peel.

AndrewR, as a Sprint and a Verde Scozia owner I feel that you are misguided and need to see a therapist. On the other hand I visited a new customer the other day in my Scottie, and he thought that the BRG was stunning.

JBT, black is the colour for either international terrorists or the president of the United States of America.... errhh rolleyes . Expect the guys in the humvees to roll up soon! They will be black too.......

No go....nor when IMG tag replaced with imgpop.

Since yours were the only pics this is happening to it (eg MCS projects) I didn't consider it a forum issue.

Thanks for trying anyway, maybe someone can come up with an explanation? Then I may return to pic topic.

My therapist just keeps going on about my mother - and she hasn't even got a Coupé. What's that about, eh?

Anyway, my condolences for your tragic colours. Keep an eye on the Coupés for sale section and I'm sure you'll be able to buy one in a nice colour soon smile

That's odd but this one I hosted via my phone whereas my projects pages are done on pc.
Either way it was a sprint blue mk1 ford mondeo with black hub caps.
Simply stunning.
