... bad taste to publicise a credit limit? Isn't this basically the same thing? I think that's unfair, Fursty. All l'Es is doing is choosing to take his time to get exactly what he wants - after all, he's kept that last car for nine years.

Aye, showing off how much debt you can accrue can be seen as willy-waving, and we know snails have no willy. Always thought they were hermaphrodites. Reply to this message | Report message

Well, it's mostly bullshine, of course, but who of us (males particularly, but could also be said of females) would buy a pink car? And why? Because of what you would perceive that it might say about you, mostly. Reply to this message | Report message

Rather than guess about someone from the colour of their car, I find it best to talk to them for 10 seconds and be left in no doubt. Reply to this message | Report message

Both ours, one silver and one very dark grey,were next to be allocated from pound or production line. Actually the dark grey (Storm Grey in Citroen speak) looks blue or green in some lights. Reply to this message | Report message

Posted this not-very-good piece of doggerel on one of the previous appearances of this thread, perhaps in the other place, perhaps here. Being a pub bore I post it again in case anyone didn't see it. Nile Water ‘The demo cars are silver,’ cooed the smart young salesman’s voice. ‘It looks well in the showroom. But for you, we offer choice: There’s dogpoo brown, and cowpat green, and cameldroppings buff; There’s lipstick pink, mascara black and all that sort of stuff; There’s taupe and beige and fawn and cream and baby’s diarrhoea, And one that rots your brain that we call Huntington’s Chorea; There’s psycho bronze and toerag grey; bipolar mauve (nice shade!); And Mother Grogan’s water (nicknamed ‘Libyan lemonade’); There’s Detroit Red and Cilla Black, Josh White and Gordon Brown, And Hughie Green and one called mud (more favoured out of town); There’s tangerine-flake; alligator; lizard; orange peel; And if you have the money, sir, there’s eau de bleeding nil; Past caring white and miser’s gold – I just remembered those – And timewarp lime (like something dripping from a toddler’s nose)…’ The punter held his hand up. He felt extremely ill. ‘Silver will do me fine’, he quavered. ‘Send my firm the bill.’ ‘Fine choice, sir!’ cried the salesman with a far from civil leer. ‘The paperwork is ready. Just sign at the bottom here.’ Reply to this message | Report message       1

Detroit Red: nickname of Malcolm Little, better known as Malcolm X, in his ghetto hood early life before he embraced Islam and went respectable, which led to his murder. A bit disrespectful I suppose to line him up with Hughie Green and Cilla Black... Reply to this message | Report message

What's this pansy prejudice against pink cars? I've got a Porsche 911 2.7RSR in pale shocking pink and it looks terrific. Only three inches long unfortunately, but I'd have a real one like a shot, and any other car I fancied that happened to be pink. Wimps. Reply to this message | Report message

Found a new bangle the other day. Silver and blackened, but after rattling about under sleeves with the copper things it's quite shiny now. Some delicate work on it, meant for women, Indian perhaps. I look divine in it. Only wear the beads for special occasions though. They are lapis lazuli or something, small and discreet, only just fit over my head without spectacles. The white driving shoes are no longer even semi waterproof though. They still look all right, decently filthy, but there's a bit of a rip in the side of one of them. They were though an incredibly good buy by my bohemian dress standards, no kidding. I keep looking in the supermarket for cheapo trainers. But it seems I'll have to go to the Beller in a week or so and get some nice New Mexico gangster's tennis shoes. Reply to this message | Report message

Ruby Red on mine, but favourite colour for car would be greenblack (MB) or Oxford green, very dark (BMW), saw a Fiesta the other day in a very dark metallic green, most unusual. Not sure colour choice says anything about the driver/owner, many people pick a standard colour for resale purposes which strikes me as a bit sad really choosing a colour for the next owner instead of you the buyer..

Given the 911's Freudian reputation, what is the significance of AC's being pink and three inches long? Reply to this message | Report message
