I'd be more impressed if it was laced from one side and cast on the other :)

I had two of those, they were pretty common, as were the white ones, the blue ones were rare, I think it's only late 250s that were originally blue in the UK, different countries got different colour schemes.

Black was the only decent colour :) The white ones looked like council house spec :obscene-birdiedoublered:
