Actually, it's not BRG but some other green (Neolithic???? or something sillier)
green which is "inspired by BRG". I haven't seen one yet, but the combination
sounded revolting when I first read it in the paper - still sounds unpleasant..
I wouldn't spend the extra $$ for a wooden gear-knob etc.
I wonder how long it'll take for the Ford Capri (Mercury Capri in US) to bring
out a green version...
The BRG I've seen is extremely dark - is this correct?
