Orkney is too boring compared to Stornoway...........

My dealer is trying to locate a red or blue one for me, but they're hard to come by. From what I saw on the dealer search when I was in this weekend, in the whole country, there's 19 red or blue ones. It's looking likely that I'm going to be doing a custom order for mine.

I think the reason there are so many "bland" color cars avail here is because the "fun" colors have sold out. I was looking for Mauritius Blue or Orkney Grey. It was tough in the configuration I wanted. My dealer had three cars in Havana and they all sold right away leaving the usual white and black. (I see two Mauritius Blue in CA. One in Encino and one in Carlsbad).

Encino have a red one, Seattle have a blue one and there's another red one in LA (Marin county). Other than that they're all in Texas, Florida or NY and I'm not paying to have them transported from there. Going to the dealer this afternoon to do a custom build. Red w/black roof
