Corrida Red

Corrida Red is the best colour for a Furby vRS.

Well known fact, red cars always go faster and perform better because they are red.

Re: Corrida Red

I disagree. While my red car is quicker than my black car and blue car, it falls well short of my silver car.

Re: Corrida Red

Then your silver car must have been a red car originally, try respraying it to red again, and you'll find I'm right about red cars.

Re: Corrida Red

I have had a red, black,silver and a blue skoda.
Red is by far my favourite.
Those who saw my vRS all said it looked the dogs, and it was a pleasure to polish.

Dont quote me on this but would i be right in saying the Black Magic Pearlescent was a £300 quid option and was the only pearlescent paint available on the VRS.

Corrida red was the only colour without a price premium.

Re: Corrida Red



Of the cars I've had, I have loved the red ones, been bored with the black ones. And the other two (white and blue) were just cars

Re: Corrida Red

I've not seen red on the roads very often either, so must be the colour for the elite

Actually, got mine for a good price (£8.5k from dealership, Sept 04, 16K miles. Immaculate condition) and it was available in any colour, as long as it was red.

But Red is king, so it was all good

Re: Corrida Red

I disagree, yellow is the best colour, turns head when people see the car and with the right body mods it is perfect.

Re: Corrida Red

Fight, Fight, Fight.
Sorry Red's too 80's and silver's too 90's.
Black or Yellow it has to be.

Though I'm biased Mines Black and SWMBO's Suzuki is yellow
