    I nearly got my Focus in Tangerine Scream but I showed the wife a picture and she wanted me to keep the people carrier.

    That and the potential torrent of abuse and dog poo through the letterbox from passtherizla convinced me to get it in black.

    Love the Tangerine Scream colour.

    You’ve GOT to get that Mustang to park next to it on the drive.

    Mustang? That’s a Camaro! tut

    I like it….
    But….please don’t drive it like most of the people I see in ‘sports vans’ who seem to think because they have alloys and some Ford Racing Stripes they can tailgate even closer and drive like absolute tools….

    pedant mode – if you mean the car at the top of the page, it’s a Chevy Camaro (it’s even got the Autobot Transformers badge on the side.) Looks like it’s stuck in front of a Transformers poster.
    But yes, that would be great side by side…..

    Ooooh, just remembered…..this is a bright yellow Mustang (parked at a ‘bikers caf’ near our house a while back).

    Can’t link to it direct as on an ancient work browser that Flickr doesn’t like so can’t get the share options up….

    haha it’d be ok on a bike but not on a car. colours like that should be reserved for things that are actually fast like 1000cc GSXR’s and other such cool things.

    I can see you like it otherwise you would not have bought it.
    I on the other hand think it’s the most hideous looking van I have ever seen.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Good luck with selling it on in a few years time.

    Buy it! Much more interesting than all the generic boring grey/slver boxes that so many unimaginative people seem to go for. “Oh I’ll just buy a grey Mondeo, it’s a practical car with good fuel cnsuption blah blah drone drone’. Get back to building your scale model of Slough town hall out of matcsticks you boring ****.

    It’s only a **** van. Enjpy the Now.

    I have a grey (Silver Mondeo), I also do DH, Motorbike racing, trackdays and spend hours at Trailcentres. Having a grey Mondeo doesn’t make you dull..

    being a complete muppet though… well… that’s your job 🙂

    Ooh touchy. 😆

    Still doesn’t mean you’re not a boring person. Nigel Mansell was an F1 world champion, and he was the most boring **** on earth.

    Can’t stand this particularly British malaise of wanting to blend in with everyone else, and not stand out at all. Why not enjoy having a bright, colourful car? I grew up in the 70s when cars were Yellow, orange, purple, turquiose etc. And beige. Guess what typese drove the beige motors?

    Well it’s certainly a marmite vehicle. Personally I’m not a fan (or of van’s a MPV) but I can see why you might like it. Hopefully it will be good for you.

    It’s a van, and it’s yellow – what’s not to like?
    I miss my yellow car 😥
    Next van will hopefully be lime green :mrgreen:

    Doesn’t it shout – I’m carrying around expensive stuff (bikes etc) in the back of my van please break into it and steal them?

    or ‘I’ve spent all my money on the van, there’s barely any fuel in it, never mind expensive stuff’

    Out of interest how much do all the mods cost extra on insurance cover? I hope you bought it for keeps as the colour will restrict any resale value, having said that I like it, if you’re going to have a customised van go the whole way!
    Wondered if I could do the same to my vauxhall combo 1.3cdti for less than £20k 😆
