mmm.....Purple camouflage, well at least it's not as bad that pink colour that you were thinking about a few weeks ago! :lol:

...and who on earth thought up purple camouflage, obviously it doesn't work! :lol: Mind you the SAS did use the 'Pink Panther' a matt pink Land Rover for desert warfare.

yea do the hightop too - why are hightop always left white - I think they'd look so much better colour coded.

Great against a totally green backdrop... and wouldn't put the word 'unique' to shame either.

The rear wheels would need painting Matt black? - but think he's a bit busy at the moment!

Have to agree with Clive - the wheels would look better black against the purple - rub brake dust on the back ones too..... :P

Euan, your purple camouflage could be a big hit after all. With your 100% camo van and the purple camo battledress suggested by bigbluebus
perhaps you could interest one of the Scottish regiments of the British army.
This new colour of camo would be ideal for manoeuvres in the highlands with all that purple heather to blend in with. :)
Roll out the Purple Watch! :lol:

Looking good Euan,

You really should do it and we can get a "Crazy Camo" gang together :lol:

Andy, I have to worry about where you do your shopping mate; check the creases on those camo's, highly suspect!!

Fancy meeting you here Ben ;) It's looking like a goer now, just need to work out some time and space to start the prep for the base coat. At least one person was genuinely disapointed that when he saw my van it didn't really look like that :P
