Racing green

Spotted in Thomastown on Saturday. Unusual colour, but I have seen this car before in Dublin.

Probably down at the golf ????

No, they're pretty rare (unless it was a respray), the official Mitsi colour is actually called Timber Green (G13)

That's the colour alright - I've seen it a couple of times in Dublin. Think it was D reg. I'm not mad about the colour to be honest

NOI Shane, but I think green looks bad on all cars, just my opinion ;) Green Celicas in particular make me sick looking at them...

Aye, green isn't the colour to go for if you want your car to stand out - But I think it suits the golfs mature (for the want of a better word/description :)) appearance - subtle, refined and blends into the crowd.

depends on the green, there are a few Hyundai Coupes around with a horrific nearly luminescent green around the place, they stand out alright!

Aye, I hear that - I'd better get some pictures up of mine before anyone starts to think I've gone for one of those horrible bright green colours :)
