Great to get to the weekend ... now for an extended run in this moke.

A little better light last night too - for an hour or so!

I'll stick these up, and then not bore you with further photos - unless I can get some good shots against far better backgrounds:

Sumatra is a very hit and miss colour - some photos it looks good, others not. It also always seems a slightly different colour.

However your pics do look VERY nice!

Yes, a tiny one.

I haven't yet checked if all the MY2011 additions are in place or not.

The flat tyre indicator is in the glove compartment, but as the pic shows, I've got Pirelli tyres :?

The guys at the dealership reckoned it was the first Scirocco through their hands with Pirellis - but where are the 'Sealy' boys??

...... Mind you - what do the words, "Seal Inside" mean that appear on the sides of my tyres :rofl2:

Thanks!

What you say is true about Sumatra.

• One carload of people that followed me for several miles the other night reckoned the colour was Bolt-metal Grey .

• Another carload behind me on Sunday morning could see a 'brownish' hue coming through.

It hardly ever looks exactly the same colour - it seems to be very light sensitive!

My friends keep asking me what colour have I got on order, never know what to say. However I usually say to my friends its a gun metal metallic grey in low light conditions but with a huge chunk of sunlight on it get a chocolate tinge showing through. So seems to match what Searchin4aRoc says! :)

Stunning looking car, seats really suit the Sumatra, have to say it looks black in some of those pictures but the light changes the appearance.
Best of luck with it :yes:
