KEN 24T Gandalf the Grey, Maiar of Manwë and Varda, Team HgAg/Sneaky Member 7,371 Member For: 21y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: The Shire, Middle Earth Posted 05/09/03 11:46 PM Share Posted 05/09/03 11:46 PM In not so surprising news today from Ford Australia, it was announced that the long-suffering, under-utilised Venom colour was being dropped from the BA range. To be replaced by something, well, pleasant!Other colours have not escaped the designers axe, although it seems the very popular Mercury Silver stays. In a secret inter-office memo, it was revealed that Ford intentionally included HgAg in the BA range to increase the overall IQ and maturity of the obviously juvenile XR6 Turbo demographic.Possible colour replacements:Phantom is being superseded by, "Pansy Purple", for the testosterone challenged, with mauve stripe and mince enducing lilac and puce interior. Optional extra topaz taffeta edging around the rear windscreen.Blueprint is being upgraded to "Cornflower Sparkle".Blood Orange is canned, being replaced by "Kings Cross Vermilion" with hot spice red patented leather interior, complete with cute little green dyed toy poodle (your choice of sex).Acid Rush is to be replaced with "Baby sh*t Brown", Oh, hang on, that's what it is anyway ... just had to name it Acid Rush for public release.New colours to augment the HgAg stable, Mouthwatering Magnesium. Stormbringer Silver, Ingot Lust. Ford have ramped up the already strained production line in anticipation of the massive demand for the new HgAg colours.

Stormbringer Silver, Ingot Lust. Ford have ramped up the already strained production line in anticipation of the massive demand for the new HgAg colours. Apparently Ford are experimenting with two toned paint, for example they are taking the basic Acid Rush and making a second tone with a smidge of green tint and calling it........... Baby Sh!t Green . Another revoultionary idea comming out of Fords R&D department is textured paint. They have taken Blueprint, Phantom and Shilouette and added bits of plastic material in the shapes of crushed peanuts, macadamia nuts and calling it 'nut crunch' and (one that will be a big hit with shilouette owners) 'hangover black'. :D So you lucky owners of these garish colours will no longer have to look inside the toilet bowl to see what junk food you pigged out on the night before during one of your benders, just go out to the carport and have a look at your 'wheels'. :D Watch out for the new movie by Tray Parker (Ken) and Matt Stone (Al) "Colour Wars II, Return of the Silver Swordsmen". Comming to a cinema near you. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6033-colour-wars-ii/#findComment-48456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
