Glad to hear it IS Sornaway Grey - good colour.
Amusing to see the Icelandic number plates identified as such with the 'IS' and flag. Do Icelanders ever take their cars abroad??? It would seem a b ... |

Car looks great. Is that Stornaway or Lago Grey? (I have Stornaway on order, but not quite sure how it will look in the flesh)
I really envy the scenery and off-road driving potential you have. Ple ... |

I don't have direct experience, but it sounds probably about right, though perhaps 150 Euros would be more reasonable. But you could consider other options.

The colour thing is such a dilemma. Life could be a lot easier if we went back to 'any colour you like so long as its black'. (Most people will know this was said by Henry Ford for ... |
