R36 Wagon in Icelandic Grey

[Autopia]

Fan-freakin-tastic. Congrats.

Any initial comments after your first week?

Awesome!!! I am really enjoying the car. Haven't had a chance to do any long drives but hopefully will get out on some open road this weekend.

That is hot as! I reckon I like it more than my "Biscay Blue" colour... that looks awesome.

The pitfalls of being in the first batch of orders... they screw the order up and don't give us the full array of options

Hi Ash

Picked mine up on Friday too.

I have some pics but they seem to be too big to post here. Need to be less than about 100K i think.

I'll get some one to resize them for me so I can post a couple, but it just looks exacly the same as yours anyway!!!

Got dark tint (25%) all around today, looks pretty much the same as your tint too. I hope we never park next to each other, might take the wrong one home! lol

I have 1500klms on mine, gave it a real good workout on Sunday.

Drove up the Oxley Hwy from Wauhope. It has got to be one of Australia's best drives!!

It has 45klms of continuous 25 to 55klm/h signposted curves. Almost all good quality hotmix and a 100klm/h speed limit!!!At one stage I had a big bore sports bike come up from behind, but he was no compitition for the "all paw" in those tight curves, I just played with him and then blew him away.

Never had a car I could do that with before.

I really love the colour, it was worth the wait. I'll enjoy the exclusiveness of it for now, but I reckon it will become the most sort after colour once people see it.

I'll add some thoughts and observations another time.

Congrats olcoop. Always a good feeling to leave a bike behind.

That colour looks fantastic. In the pics it looks a little blueish. Is that accurate?
May have to reconsider my Biscay Blue choice. Glad I've still got time to.

On it own it appears grey however when I parked next to my mates grey r32 today, it had quite a blue tinge. In fact, it is a very unusal colour. Changes greatly in different light conditions.

I found exactly the same thing. My first impression was that is had that blueish tinge in bright light. But I even noticed a sort of greenish tinge, a bit like my Granite Passat only a lot darker, late in the afternoon.

I've never had a Pearl Effect paint job before. Does that cause the changing hues?

I had dinner outside a restaurant yesterday with the R36 parked accross the road, it changed colours alot in that 90 mins of changing light.

And yes Autopia, it is a great feeling leaving the bikes behind, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he's telling his mates about this station wagon that he couldn't keep up with!!! lol
