The Easter Bilby

[den]

To cheer myself up I bought some easter bilbies to munch on.

I saw the old Maserati driver again, but awared her severl thousand bonus coolness points because she was driving a sky-blue P76. She must own that as well as the Maserati. I can't imagine anyone exchanging an Itallian sports car for an old Leyland Australia job, even if it is a classic.

the official colour designation for the "sky blue" p76 paint colour is "Am Eye Blue". the darker metallic blue that was _the_ colour for the Force 7V was "Omega Blue". Which is pretty boring next to the other colours in the range, including "Plum Crazy", "N-V Green", "Hairy Lime", "Bold As Brass", "Home on th' Orange" and my personal favourite, the chocolate brown "Here come de fudge" (I was a big Flip Wilson (http://www.tvparty.com/flip.html) fan in my misguided youth).

the even less well-remembered Leyland Marina (http://203.63.44.247/P76/general/marina/marinaindex.html) shared several colours with the P76 colour range - mostly the boring-named ones, Dry Red, Spanish Olive, Country Cream.

ahhh, nostalgia. ;-)

I used to have a Marina - a 2.0L Coupe with vinyl roof. It was a sort of a horrible light bluey-green colour, but it was fast!
