Default Lime Rock Green

Looks like LJ has a Lime Rock Green vert on the way. Now we'll finally get to see how that color looks.

This pic was the December '13 NCM calendar that could be downloaded for a PC desktop background. It looks very much like the C4 Polo Green Metallic

Like it or not.....that Green is just plain gorgeous! If ya don't like it, check your pulse and don't buy it.
But in terms of sexy colors....its second only to Laguna Blue

I'm mean at my age...I've given up on bad ***...sexy is my last best hope....even if I have at buy it (like my hero-Phil)

Mark, screw retirement......you may not live that long! We'd look Great together at our gatherings

The car I saw was definitely darker, even darker than the old British Racing Green, only with metal flake.

It was more like along the lines of a night race blue. At dusk it looked almost black. It will be interesting to see the one at LJ's

I'm surprised no-one compares Lime Rock Green to Dark Bowling Green which was available 2000-01 only. To me LRG is darker than C4 Polo Green and a shade lighter than the C5 Bowling Green.

Sorry, my mistake. It's the Scotch.

It does? Why is it when you had chrome wheels on the black car - which looked marvelous, by the way, simply mahvelous... you seemed to favor the style?

Now that you've gone over to the "Dark Side" you've become an advocate of the unfinished appearance of the black wheels? Did Young Grasshopper tell you that black wheels might provide a tax deduction or something?

See... this is why I don't go to Leavenworth with you guys.

I think it's just a phase I'm going through Phil. At least I hope so..

A black car with chrome wheels is still my favorite. I even like white and chrome but Sue likes the black wheels on white better. The fact that I couldn't part with my chrome wheels means I truly have issues of some sort.

In 63, we pulled the hubcaps off my 46 Plymouth Special Deluxe and painted the wheels black, leaving the lug nuts chrome. Can't remember how many rattle cans it took to paint the whole car flat black, so there is history to my madness. The three on the tree was replaced with a 3 speed floor linkage. I remember that car had almost no steel, as it was made right after WWII. Everything was tin, including the floor, so it was easy to cut out a hole for the shifter. I pulled the tail pipe off and replaced the muffler with a Cherry Bomb and ran it right under the passenger door.

I didn't take to Scotch until my 20's. As a teen it was strictly Beefeater's gin.

Maybe that explains it

Yea, yea I hear ya. I mean I HEAR ya who knows..... I'll have to drive the 95 over there and see how they look together




It might be interesting to put the two of them nose to nose and take a nice picture............. then we could really see the difference in the shade of green.
