Good pictures to show the effect.

Black with silver rims is winning at the moment as they are easier to keep looking clean.

I do have two set of wheels so maybe the other set could be silver...
ha ha 2 sets of wheels...of course you have

Having the choice is nice and glad you liked the pics to show black on black is a no go

Nice wheels. That's an interesting model name for a tyre. I did a double take and nearly spat out my corn flakes.

What's so startling about 'Triangle'?

I've led a sheltered life; "Triangle" is a swear word in our house. Unlike "CNTT G Spot" which is the name of our cat.

You were lucky to get those. I have heard that the CNTT G Spot" is notoriously difficult for men to find.

What on earth is a G spot? :-)

It's a type of welder for joining car panels.

Whoops, freudian slip!

A "Freudian slip" is when you are at a dinner party with your wife, and intend to say"pass the salt dear" but instead say,
" You ruined my life you f***ing bitch"
It just kinda slips out.....

The car is delivered to the paint shop and suddenly my garage looks very empty - except for all the bits I took off the car prior to paint.

Nothing to do now but wait...

Colin was kind enough to drop me home after I delivered the car and I almost changed my mind back from Black to Barchetta Rossa...

Having written a few descriptions for significant cars in the past, I'm pretty good at deciphering what they mean:
"Although fairly tractable for road use, this 450S is of impeccable breeding and deserves to be unleashed on a closed circuit or wide open roads, where it’s potential can be fully exploited. This car was conceived for Works champions by the likes of Fangio, Moss, and Behra."
This translates as: The 450's reputation is well deserved. It's a F*****G animal. Driven on the road by a multi millionaire duffer, it WILL bite you. Hard.

520bhp and drum brakes all round :-)
This is the car that Moss crashed out of the 56 Mille Miglia due to brake failure. Should be a bit cheaper than the expected $7M as it's a Cat C write off!
Would like nice on the drive next to the Z300 though
