Beautiful looking grey RB5 in Waitrose car park, Cirencester on Saturday. Anthracite alloys. Looked the business. Understated, classy...the dog's bolognese in fact.

TurboKitty

As opposed to a blue RB5, or a green one?

dosenöffner

There's always one.

Not everyone knows everything.

Seen this one around Ciren a few times before.

Turbo Kitty...what's that phrase about saracasm being the lowest form of wit? I didn't know that they only made RB5's in grey. Thanks for pointing it out so tactfully and not making me feel like a complete tw@t.

TurboKitty

Andrewj, I was joking and I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. It wasn't intentional, as I tried to show with the smilies. It was meant to be lighthearted. Again, sorry if it missed the mark.

TurboKitty

PS the only reason I know that RB5s were only made in grey is I drive one. Personally I can't tell all the different shades of blue apart.

Andrewj

No problem Kitty. It's just that there are so many smart-***** on here, it's difficult to tell when someone's being friendly sometimes.

I do love the car...makes my MY99 DBM Turbo look almost cheap!

TurboKitty

Oh, I'm not saying I'm not a smart ****, just that I usually don't intend to be nasty.

TurboKitty,

Have a look at your log book and see what colour the DVLA was told you car is / was ?

Who's the smart **** now!!

Thanks Phill

TurboKitty

Since the colour is Steel Blue/Blue Steel, I imagine it says blue, but I can't be arsed to dig the V5 out to check.

babber

Lol,

I checked mine and it does say blue, so all RB5s are blue

when looking up the paint code for an rb5, it comes up in the "blue" list too. besides the name given to the colour is in fact, blue steel.

babber

RB5 sales brochure says the same Blue Steel.

Phill

TurboKitty

Which makes total sense, as anyone looking at one would naturally describe it as blue...

TurboKitty

Except mine, which is purple.

TurboKitty

Or maybe it's a pimp mobile!

Nice bit of paintshop work although I would like to point out the car has orange indicators and where I come from that a criminal offence Who changed the colours of the cars ? Did it take long ?

Phill

TurboKitty

I did it and it was about 30 minutes work.

And yes, it has orange indicators. I quite like them.

babber

If I send you a picture of my car, could you repaint it in black ? Are you limited to file size (i.e. do you use dialup) ?

Thanks Phill

TurboKitty

I can give it a go, I haven't done a black one before.

I've got broadband, so file size isn't an issue.

babber

YHM,

sent a really nice one of my car

Thanks Phill

TurboKitty

The is a bit worrying...

A black one?

My god, what will I have in my mail when I get home tonight...

babber

Lol, thanks

Phill

TurboKitty

babber, I should be able to get it done tonight. Do you want it posted here or mailed back? Obviously I'll cover the 'plate if I post it.

babber

You can post it and email it back to me, if you wouldn't mind ?

Thanks again, Phill

TurboKitty

babber, see here.
