Ordered a Candy White GT today, wooo hooo!
Sorry just had to air my excitement :0)
Was a toss up between the rising blue, but spotted a white the other day and in the sunshine it looked SO nice.
Bye bye weekends, hello washing the motor!
Took the plunge!!!

Re: Took the plunge!!!
Did you get to see the other colours in the flesh?
Very good choice, what extras did you put on if any? Got any idea about lead time till it arrives? I've been waiting for a month now and its doing my head in! All I want is my brand new car is it so much to ask for
