There is no doubt that we of the HgAg Team cannot avoid the constant reference to our colour being that of an under-coat. There has been much snickering and pointing of fingers suggesting that all other cars are more worthy because they have a final layer of paint to distinguish it from the original base under-coat.

If this is our lot….then so be it. I find no shame in being part of the pillar of society from which all other derivatives are born. Just remember, when your cars get damaged, and the paintwork needs touching up, you will always return to your humble beginnings….Mercury Silver.

If we take time to reflect, then being branded as the under-coat is not so bad….after all, look at some of the alternatives :

Black / Silhouette - the colour of death, the colour of choice for all Funeral Directors….therefore, the under-taker.

White – is this really a colour at all ? The colour of choice for those without imagination or ambition….therefore, the under-achiever.

Citric Acid – the name alone conjures up images of too much curry in the evening meal and the burning sensation felt the next morning. Babies are renowned for producing similar results. Therefore, under-seige.

Envi – stolen from right under the very nose of the General. So similar to the Hothouse Green of the Expensive Daewoo family that it is likely to result in some form of cross breeding. Therefore, under-handed.

Blueprint – so often referred to as “spewprint”, therefore, under-the-weather.

Lightning Strike – an attempt to mimic the great Mercury Silver but didn’t quite get there….therefore, under-done.

Ok Lads….let the games begin. Add your thoughts on other under-?????

I like the black & white analagies.

Each to their own when it comes to colour... We all choose the colour that we like best - for whatever reason.

I chose Acid Rush because I think its unique and looks good... It also looks different at different times of the day or night. A lot of people bag it but I like it and that's what counts... I couldn't give a toss what everyone else thinks and don't regret my choice - After all it IS the original colour of the BA XR6 range as this was the colour that they used in their test cars.

There can sometimes be a little bit of herd mentality when it comes to choosing colour.. ie blueprint!!! A few people like it and buy it and then others think "popular colour - must be the best" then in no time every second XR6 on the road is blue....

For the record - My second choice would be Phantom and my third would be Lightning Strike.

GAZA..........
