What colour is your car?

[Paddy]

I like this new rust effect paint, it would look great on a Bentley.

Working in a high rise building looking down at a car park you can see that 90% of cars are black (or a dark shade that's not far off black when viewed from a distance), red or silver.

Mine is red because the red ones are faster.

[Mich the Tester]

My car is long and black. Lady Tester's car is small and pink. Parked next to each other on the driveway, they look a bit like the set of an interracial porn movie.

Three cars at this moment, two dark green (one clasic car and the other one is my ltd co car) and one light pastel blue (my private car). I tend to like prefer the light pastel blue because it not conspicuous especially when sneaking in unauthorised car parks.

[Clare@InTouch]

Mine's black. It was simply the colour of the car on offer, not necessarily a specific choice. Although I may well have bought a different car if it had been green or yellow.

[NotAllThere]

My first car was beige. Or rather tulip...

Electric pink

I drive a Mini Cooper as my runaround. I don't think pink was an option. Mini red, white roof and white stripes is the best colour scheme so that's what it is
