Re: Favourite colours for cars
Just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should...
Given how limited a pallette a lot of modern cars come in I'm surprised this was even an option!

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Looks like a variation on 'Hearing Aid Beige'
I find the limited palette of largely dull colours awfully, well, dull and disappointing
Cars should be painted in lively, bright colours... Dull should be deprecated...

Bar the colour I like that a lot Orions are now vanishingly rare although I do occasionally see a very late one running around near me...admiral51 wrote: ↑19 Sep 2020, 15:58 I still have fond memories of the car and colour when i got it way back in 1993, please note not my actual car but a year older than my old B reg

They were good, despite being a Ford
I like those wheels too

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Favourite colours for cars
Nope!
I did have a bright yellow Imp, hand painted. More to p**s off the directors at work who looked down on 'unsocial' vehicles, i.e. anything not their new Rovers, MGBs and Jaguars.

Re: Favourite colours for cars
You are cordially invited to post something up which would turn your heads gentlemen.
Something silver or grey which looks the same as anything else in the supermarket carpark perhaps?
Mark 1 Cavalier for me 100% more interesting than the 4 Mclarens the 2 Maserati's and the Ferrari I came across the other day
Enjoy the rear view!

Your wish...............
The car that saved me from buses when I failed my first driving test (for passing a row of parked cars too closely, in my defence I was giving the oncoming cyclist more room!):

Not normally a fan of green but that one is the exception...
