handsome colour & car!
I love my Atlantic blue pearlescent as well with its blue & green metallic glints, but it's a pita job to keep it clean like other darker colours: every tiniest hint of mud, filth or grease, even dust cannot escape the eye mainly in sunny & shiny weather! Nevertheless mind that the car is polished & waxed.
Tomorrow my pride & joy will be involved in a rally with other British cars (older I bet, with some roadsters), beginning the journey with a nice breakfast cum 'croissants' in a C17 castle...
Yes that summer heat was rather painful. Fortunately our large traditional house is easily able to keep the coolness. But touring in France - particularly in the Alps visiting our younger son - was appalling because the inside of our B&B was dirty hot (my son's house is to become guest friendly but at the moment under renovation & extension!). But we resisted thanks to our 75 aircon!
