Gun metal grey seems to be the "mean" paint scheme for a 90...

Here's an indication of how successful Colin's great idea could be.

Ah, the majesty of the 90 as she glides serenely around the race track. Robins looks pretty sweet in the dark blue. I often thought black would be quite nice, with some dark headlights like Robins car. I've seen a road 90 in red with body-colour bumpers and nice wheels, and it looked REALLY nice. To be honest I don't think yellow is a good idea for a boxy (in a good way) sedan. But that's just my opinion, and with black stripes and maybe dark wheels it may look okay. Apart from the red one I mentioned, I think darker colours and/or metallics suit the 90. There's a recent post in the pictures section with some images from Sandown, you can see Robins one and mine. Luckily the photographer was on the correct side of the track so you can't see my mismatched panel. Oh and Flames look good too. See here for pics:-... http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,68/topic,755.0/The rest of you can get stuffed. If a 105 ever beats Robin's 90 I'll paint one on the side of my car. |

I had noticed that, and I'm not happy to have a competitor for 'most extreme lean-angle' award. But just cos they lean doesn't mean they don't handle well.

Yes Sheldon, you do have a point. However, my car is not majestic, and definitely does not "glide serenely." In fact, i often compare it to riding a hung over three legged rhinoceros.
