Congrats!
 It's a random selection thing, however just last week I made it ignore cars with no photos posted, so everyone make sure you have photos of your cars on the profiles.

Love the color, does anyone know much about it? Always seemed to me like it was a 75th anniversary color only, never made it to BA etc

Nice to see your name in lights ;)
Keep your eye on "Random Selections" over the next few days. Mine's there a few days after COTD. edit: don't worry about the RS thing. It's a fairly quick turnaround. Mines off already, lol. |

Well........ yes. But don't!
I have never seen my car picked as COTD. :( But I do agree about the sandstorm colour - they certainly stand out. I've seen a few of them around and they always remind me of the military for some reason. Have you ever seen those navy blue AUs with the white pillars? Are they ex-RAN (navy) cars?

Do those blue AU's with white pillars come with any factory mods we dont know about?

I always thought the white-and-blue AUs were painted by a company who bought them initially. Much like the pink magnas (Avon), red-and-white VW beetles (Westpak bank), etc. Could be wrong though.

From memory the navy AUs with teh white pillars and roof were painted by "Skilled Engineering" (or similar company) to make it look like a hard hat on the vehicle.
