An interesting private video and discussion
Although the handling of the steering wheel drove me nuts.
My apologies to the driver maybe it is just me.

You have an FB account?

 

[DaveB]

You have an FB account?

Surely everyone has an FB account????

 

[emax]

No facebook, no whatsapp, no paypal, no twitter, no nothing.

Just oldschool.

We use FB to keep in touch with children, grandchildren and friends.
It is a little bit like using a forum.

I know it's convenient. But when I see Mark Zuckerberg, I immediately throw up. I don't like him and I'm not comfortable with what he's doing.

Convenience always has a price, and I'm not willing to pay it. The same goes for paypal and the others. I remember how live worked before FB and all the "social" media, "convenient" non-cash payments etc. And I am still comfortable with telephone, emails, forums and, if possible, personal meetings. I don't have to have things "now" and immediately.

But this is an endless topic.

So let's just call it an occupational disease.

Unfortunately when your children and grandchildren are remote these days. funny little things happen that need to be shared immediately. Or the grandson needs help with his homework. The niece has a question about the meal she is cooking.

I'm fine with that, no problem at all. The good thing is, that we can (yet) decide.

I use btw. my telephone for such things. Not as fancy but ok for me. ;-)

Good Video.
Is this Scottish White or Magic Mushroom?

 

[emax]

I'd say it's Magic Mushroom.

 

[grenadierboy]

In direct sunlight it looks white to me

 

[emax]

Agree, it's unclear. But the last scene made me believe its Magic Mushroom.

I should know as I was in that event, but I was so focused on "my" car that I don't remember.

 

[grenadierboy]

yes. I looked again, you may be right.

Actually, mushroom seems to be a rather difficult colour to predict.

In various videos it seems to take on a wide variety of hues.

For example, in the INEOS promotional video taken in Bahrain, the MM Grenadier looked to be quite a darker shade and military looking.

In others it looks very light/white, especially in the sun.

 

[emax]

I have now asked my wife and she's sure it's Magic Mushroom. She was with me that day. In bright sunlight, most non-high-end cameras do not render bright colors well, they burn out.

There was a white one as well but for photographic ops. It was not on display but somewhere in the background where they took their pictures.

BTW, I 'm visible in the video in the first two seconds, front left in the scene looking to the left. But the most important thing, my head, is pixelized.

 

[emax]

If you look at the "Krah + Enders" banner on the windshield, you see it's white and clearly a bit 'whiter' than the car.
