BBhighway, I really like the color you picked. It is now my new favorite color...

Going back a while remembering that custom paint.

It seems around the time they were painting his car, they did an Elise too:

Odd blast from the past. I posted a pic of that Elise two and a half years ago here up thread.

Yeah, I had seen that, but thought it was worth posting an update since I stumbled on a different picture of that Elise which showed more of it.
It wasn't something I went looking for, just happened upon while bouncing around on flickr.

The stripes and CF hood make the front look like a giant 120V plug IMO. And no I don't think that's a good thing :wink:

I asked Frantz about coping my color (he has admired it at a few LA Events). He said the new Model S brown was closer to my copper than the special edition Roadsters.

whew.

It's not awfull. A Roadster is always sublime.

That's the prettiest metallic lavender car I've ever seen.

 

[W.Petefish]

Personally I don't like it, but to each his/her own.

 

[Robert.Boston]

Don't mistake me -- I detest it, but I detest it less than all the other metallic lavender cars I've ever seen.

I don't think I've ever seen another car that color; maybe there's not many about.....I wonder why that could be?
