Clausager says that the three-letter paint codes are found stamped on the VIN
plates of
1980 model year RHD cars.
Blaze is an obvious orange, whereas 'Butterscotch' sounds to me like Harvest
Gold, which
if memory serves could be described as 'baby poo'. If your baby's poo is
orange, what
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)
