Saw a really nice-looking MX-5 while on the ol' bus tonight coming home. The best way I can describe the colour is burnt orange, but I don't know if there's an official name for that shade - hence the quotes above. The plates were 98-D, heading away from Dublin on the Naas Rd. at Kylemore Rd. Perhaps this is the same kind of car I saw - is it a factory-made colour? http://www.mx5gallery.net/thumbnails.php?album=48I've never seen that colour before, so I figured I'd post here to see if it was someone on the forum.

Nah, that colour is too nice to be called "ginger."  Very pretty car all the same, though!

I believe it's called chilli orange, pete in Belfast has same colour car..albeit his is a rare classic and many were damaged in transportation back in the day. Very unusual cool colour and may well be called something else today.

As Ginger is beige in colour I don't see how it has anything to do with my (once) flame haired locks

It is indeed .. this would be a very strange hair colour Teena!  "I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace.

Ginger, a great cure for travel sickness.
