Trawling up behind someone on the motorway in my white Focus estate seems to have a mysterious 'is that a police car?' effect on people 😈

(I didn't choose the colour, it was a 2/h car at the right price. But it looks good IMO)

trouble is talkemada, although cars in the seventies were available in those colours, people actually bought "prosthetic limb" cream, and "diarrhea" brown.

lol – I think the term is "hearing aid beige"

back in the day i had a white calibra which was IMO is/was the best colour for that car (the vauxhall/opel touring cars of the time were white) and despite being a vauxhall and therefore having pretty poor factory paint, it was very easy to keep clean as being white it just needed a quick wipe down and air dry and it was fine. contrast with that a more recent black audi tt with a far superior paint finish but looked horrible unless it had just been washed dried polished and waxed – far too much effort for a car!!

No no; hearing aid beige is slightly darker than prosthetic limb cream!

A mate had a Capri in B+H Gold:

and don't forget dogsick lilac

I'm nursing a semi for this stunner

my first 3 cars were white, but weren't exactly racy: Renault 5 mk1, Renault 5 mk2, Renault 19 (post facelift)

Next one was red – an Alfa 146.
Then a silver Alfa 156
then a black BMW 320d Touring
and now a black Saab 9-3 Sportwagon.

So clearly I don't GAS what anybody thinks 😉

I had a white Ford Orion once, had a lot of trouble selling it, to be fair I think the colour was irrelevant.

I think I'd actually sea-gull that car

I had a championship White Integra Type-r. Fabulous car, back seats went down and bike dropped straight in – oh and when it came on cam at 5700 rpm it howled like a banshee. Looked great in White, pretty average in red or black
