Servicemaster cleaning company used to have every car painted that colour..

Also a local industrial removals and shipping company had every vehicle in yellow..even the MD's and his Mothers Range Rovers.

now they just have the door mirrors done. :roll:

Whos is that Rob?

Never seen it on the roads, or even heard about anyone seeing it, surprisingly, though have seen that picture of it before. That CXI Scenic parks near my work sometimes.

I can't remember who it belongs to.

My cousin's husband works in Stormont and he snapped the car for me. Also a friend of Roger's has seen it at Stormont as well.

Very bizarre thing to do to a Xm.

What about some of these others from the same SET of photo's (Note the Knight-Rider Style #22/27 :? , The Soft-top #23/27 8-) and The Hideous Estate #24/27 :shock: ) personally I do like THIS-ONE from the set #25/27, enjoy !

The estate is certainly an acquired taste, the mandarin red one is very nice.
