Red or Green?

The Arnage of course.

The Red Green Show is a Canadian television comedy that aired on various channels in Canada, with its ultimate home at CBC Television, and on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations in the United Statess, from 1991 until the series finale April 7, 2006, on CBC. The Red Green Show is essentially a cross between a sitcomm and a sketch comedyy series, and is a parody of home improvementy, do-it-yourself, fishing, and other outdoors shows (particularly The Red Fisher Showw). Reruns currently air on CBC Television, The Comedy Network, and various PBS stations. It was produced by S&S Productions, which is owned by Steve and Morag Smith, and directed by William G. Elliott.

The year is 2000.

Decisions, decisions...

Two cars. The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph or the Bentley Arnage? The Silver Seraph is a good looking car (mono tone please).

To quote from www.RRAB.com :

"The new model showed some styling characteristics that rooted in the design of its predecessors. It was exactly what Rolls-Royce's clients appreciated no revolutionary break in design-philosophy.

Graham Hull

Graham Hull himself explained that he had been fascinated when decades ago Blatchley had developed the lines of the Silver Cloud from the imagination of a powerful sea-going boat and had been inspired by elements like primary bow and secondary bow, the cabin's arrangement, etc. Hull had prepared a large-sized drawing that showed how he had arranged for the Silver Seraph to remain in the bloodline of an unbroken tradition."

But it's the Arnage that suits this body style the most in my opinion. But there are two to choose from.

An Arnage Red Label or Green Label...?

6.75 litre 400bhp turbo- the original Crewe 'lump' or the (BMW) 4.5 litre twin turbo V8 with 350bhp...?

Hmmm....
