Spyker and Snoras a match made in heaven ::) Title: Re: New Spyker C8 Laviolette livery Post by: Paddy_NL on March 05, 2008, 11:51:08 pm No more Silver and Orange? (http://forum.drinkingforholland.com/images/smiles/icon_rage.gif)

Good to see that Andrea Chiesa got out of that OK. Ade Title: Re: New Spyker C8 Laviolette livery Post by: Pieter on March 06, 2008, 02:20:07 pm I think it looks great and in my opinion it's a step towards maturity, not being just a Dutch car with all the orange. I liked the car in orange, don't get me wrong, but I doesn't really get them anywhere. I take it these are the colours of the sponsor and I take it they've paid enough to get the car in this livery. That's better news than an orange car with a lack of sponsors.

>Martini... Title: Re: New Spyker C8 Laviolette livery Post by: Andy on March 07, 2008, 01:07:50 am Pieter, this car now has a lack of sponsors' livery ( Burnt marketing) and most certainly glowed orange whilst burning. :-X
No disrespect, but glad to Andrea got out OK. Title: Re: New Spyker C8 Laviolette livery Post by: Leftie on March 07, 2008, 01:52:31 am Yellow is nearly Orange.
Blue, well that's True Blue - blood flowing through you veins to mark heritage. The flames were orage though. |
