I've just come back from an overseas holiday in the tropics.

PAPAYA EVERYWHERE! The stuff grows on trees up there! [LOL]....

Now when it comes to Torana's, not so much of the fruity colour about these days.

So..... tell me, who likes papaya?

Now that question can be taken 2 different ways. Give me your take on both. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.....

For me, the fruit is pure YUK! I just can't get into it. As for the Torrie colour..... I guess it has to grow on me, because my SL/R is going back to 100% factory spec, which obviously includes the paint, and mine is factory Papaya.

[Pop's-SS]

for doing your SL/R to original specs but for me personally, Papaya is like babyshit yellow or even straight yellow I don't like.

When I first phoned up the seller of my SS, he said it was "kinda orange" colour to which I immediately thought .... Papaya.....Yuk

After a 4hr drive to see it I was pleasantly surprised to find it was Mandarin Red which in different lighting situations either looks red or orange.

As you said it will probably grow on you but more importantly it will be back to original, just the way it should be, congratulations

If everyone had the same colour car it would be awfully boring.

Even if the SS I now have was Papaya, I would have bought it and left it that colour.

Regards ...... Barry

I've never been a fan of Poopaya
Looks washed out to me
I prefer a bolder colour like Valanecia for my oranges

I don't like the fruit. Too healthy for my finely balanced metabolisism.

I don't like the color... same as the fruit, it's the interior [sienna] i couldn't live with.

I think you mean Contessa Gold Heath! That's an ugly colour!

Antelope is a nice colour... It's not outrageous yet still 70's.

Papaya... I like it on certain cars... I think it suits a flareless car better than it does a car with flares...

hahahahhahahhaah I know there are three members who would react adversely to that, and I already got bites from two of them!

I was going to buy an Antelope LH before I found the green machine. I didn't even like the green when I bought my car though

[dattoman]

Green is like spew
I hate mint julip with a passion unequalled

And antelope tastes better than buffalo
