It does look sharp, but as an ownership prospect, brave.

Love it. The RS6 has the presence to pull that colour off. Would have been my next choice if I didn't love Sepang blue so much :nodder:

Essex. Somehow all I can see is a spray tan orange person stepping out of that. That said, I don't not hate it and it doesn't not work.
No matter where you go, there you are.

For me it's just too big a car for the lairy colours.

Gav are you sure your not my twin separated at birth ????? I love that colour too. If I had seen that in the flesh before the Sepang it would have been on the order. We had a G4 Defender in bright orange hence why Orange is the family colour now. :yellowrs4:

The price is a bit gulp - talks about tow bar prep but then says it has the DRC which I thought deletes the ability for a tow bar?

Yeah, I agree although I'll admire whoever does buy it. That colour works well on the RS3, but the RS6 is too large to carry it off as a daily.

I wish I had the furry love spuds to run a car that colour but I am definately not brave enough. Do love it and the exclusive bright yellow.

Hahahahah - there you are - I've been looking for you for years!!! :jump:

Defender looks brilliant! I bet that is a hoot to drive off road :thumb:

I had Gulf stripes on my 911 C4S a couple of years ago and my triathlon club colours are black and orange so I'm swayed by the colour scheme...

Yep, price is a bit more lairy than the colour and certainly no tow bar with the DRC and I need that for the bike rack :lol:

Life is too short - nice to see some colour driving about on the roads! The local McClaren garage is just a mile or so down the road from me and a couple of bright orange and bright lime green demonstrators are normally kicking about - they look magic!

The good attention you would receive is great - it is just outweighed by the bad attention. Everyone in your local area would know it was you including the fuzz. It wouldn't take long before you were being reported for having a "blip" down the road etc; now there is no chance of saying: "I am sorry it wasn't me officer..."
