    It is a particularly lovely shade of blue. Looks much better than the hairdresser spec 430 in yellow which just looks weird.

    im not a fan of open tops, Skin Cancer just doesnt agree with me, but i like the G in a chop top, looks nice.

    I hate that shade of blue though,

    yes it is :-(, and that is my only gripe with the car, but the visibility is not as bad as that of a full rag top.

    I keep thinking about buying the hardtop, but cant justify the expense given my intention to upgrade.

    Hehehe, I see the dark side is getting stronger in this boy. :D


    The G spyder is beautiful. I didn't really like the dark blue colour of the display one. But it will look good in any colour (even the pale blue and green ones I've seen photos of). The roof mechanism is a thing of beauty and will have you gobsmacked as you watch it. There is a great write up in this months Motor as well.

    I love white, and could have any car in White, i just dont like Pearl White which seems to be the fashion these days.

    So many cars have Pearl White and not a normal white now, but i just think it looks either
    A: Dirty
    or
    B: a bit girly

    depending on the type of pearl it has.

    I know what you mean. There are some very ordinary pearl whites out there - mostly on Japanese stuff. However, I saw the Gallardo in white at the factory and they have some something to that paint. It is a knockout - and I don't even like white much.

    That looks atad different to the green on the Murcielago/G SE??? Or is it the same colour in different light?

    That Balloon White is awesome from all the pics and the Fifth Gear review of the GSE. Normal white, is like buying a company car :p

    The green looks awesome depending on which pic you look at... I um.. found.. these at the Dupont Collection.. with all their cars for sale...

    The colours are different in the pics (I think the light knocks around the depth of the colour we can see), but I dont know what it would look like in the flesh...

    Be a nice problem to have :)

    but white on something special is definately different, as people seem to have this close minded view that white is only for Camry's. when in fact you will see allot of boring cars are not really chosen in white anymore.

    a White lambo or F car is the Dogs Bo!!ocks, and I wouldnt hesitate to buy a white one, perhaps not new, because I'd not be willing to take the massive hit of depreciation, but definately a used one.
