BTW, that was my post...
I've figured it out, at least my own car, is Blaze, which is orange at =
first glance but a "red-orange" sorta like the Crayolas I had when I was =
a kid.

Clausager says that the three-letter paint codes are found stamped on =
the VIN plates of=20
1980 model year RHD cars.
Blaze is an obvious orange, whereas 'Butterscotch' sounds to me like =
Harvest Gold, which=20
if memory serves could be described as 'baby poo'. If your baby's poo =
is orange, what=20
on earth are you feeding it on (that's not a question, I don't want to =
know).
Should your ISP address really be 'nappynet.net'? (Nappy being UK for =
diaper)
