Thanks Paul - I'm not sure what the actual paint code is, but it is a mid-late '90s Honda Prelude colour called Marine Blue. I got the local Spies Hecker guys to match it up & add a hint of pearl. Let me know if you need the actual code & I will do some serious digging (its somewhere in the huge file) !

60mph with foot off - that's called ICC - "Inexpensive Cruise Control" !! With the grunt that Roy's car has, it probably wouldn't even notice the hills at all ! Could be a bit exciting when pulling up beside Constable Plod at the lights !

Murphy's Law always comes into play when drving these cars - when I got it off the tow truck & revving like hell on the driveway, there were the neighbour's ancient parents heading toward me down the shared driveway in their stately Honda - never mind that there is a GT40 coming up, didn't notice the giant tow truck with flashing lights behind it - just keep on coming down ! The neighbours now have 2 parallel trenches in their lawn as a result of my evasive actions !

You wouldn't be dead for quids !!

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
