I taught my 4-year-old grandson to play 'yellow car'. johnfinnemore.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/yellow-car-full-rules.html He was sitting behind granny when he remembered, spotted one and shouted loudly. I'm in trouble for making her nearly have an accident. Reply to this message | Report message

Was this widely played before Ottery St Mary? I'd not come across it, but now I even catch myself playing when I'm on my own. In France, of course, it became 'voiture jaune', and led to some disputes on account of the number of small Renaults painted a shade of green that's almost yellow - or is that the other way round? Either way, Cabin Pressure is pure gold. All I want for Christmas is Zürich, a fitting finale, and for it never, ever, EVER to be remade for television. Reply to this message | Report message

My first Ford was yellow ~ Daytona Yellow if I remember correctly. As a result of the AA's conclusion that yellow was the safest colour, yellow became my favourite colour until it was no longer readily available in my chosen model. Reply to this message | Report message

We had a yellow Golf Mk1 5 door for a while. It pulled its clutch cable through the bulkhead, a known weakness (of all colours). Reply to this message | Report message

My Dyane was garish yellow verging on lime green. Perfectly innocuous colour. Reply to this message | Report message

My Lupo was yellow, it actually suited it. On some cars it looks vile, Lambo, Ferrari and Lotus carry it off beautifully across their entire range. Reply to this message | Report message

If it was available my absolute favourite colour would be Coventry Fire Service Yellow. It was really striking. The colour was formulated by Warwick University. tinyurl.com/myvpjsa Reply to this message | Report message

A friend of mine has a Ka in just about that colour. She chose it specially. Most people hate the colour! tinyurl.com/kus7d6x Reply to this message | Report message

At least it would, um, stick out in the airport car park, well, any car park come to that! Reply to this message | Report message

We do the same, but try to spot a Mini, not yellow cars. Reply to this message | Report message

Amateur rules! The true game is either "Mini punch!" or "Beetle bash!" - 1 point "Yellow Mini punch!" or "Yellow beetle bash!" - 2 points "Old Mini punch!" or "Old Beetle bash!" - 2 points "Old yellow Mini punch!" or "Old yellow Mini punch!" - 3 points Each sighting should be accompanied by a physical assault but that gets tiresome so you can miss that out. No BMW/ Mini forecourts allowed. The jury is still out on transporters. Reply to this message | Report message

I trust these physical assaults have to be on the driver Fc? Hands over his eyes from behind, hair being messed up, that sort of thing? Much more fun like that I seem to remember... Reply to this message | Report message

No it's all inclusive AC :) Driver has a distinct advantage being able to see down the middle of the road and what is coming up in the rear view mirror. Reply to this message | Report message

I was accused of cheating when we came past Gatwick airport on a train. There must have been one in the car parks! Reply to this message | Report message

Surely cheating is fundamental to the game? Reply to this message | Report message

I once owned a yellow Fiat 124 estate. It had a set of winter rims & tyres. Went anywhere. Almost. Even 3 up one weekend to Glencoe, from West Yorks, for a spot of skiing. Never again. When we arrived we made yellow snow. The things you do when young & foolish! Or enthusiastic. Reply to this message | Report message

We play Cone Spotting. There's a good section on the M4 where they have green, blue and yellow cones, apart from the usual orange/red of course. There must be a code somewhere explaining what the colours mean - green appears to mean maintenance vehicles only. Never spotted a pink - that would be 10 points.

Perhaps it's time to move onto Mornington Crescent. Reply to this message | Report message

I have always loved ISIHAC and I think I have almost all of them, but I've never found Mornington Crescent even vaguely amusing. Reply to this message | Report message

How far away from you is the nearest dealer in yellow cars then, l'Es? Not within walking distance, we presume. };---) Reply to this message | Report message

Looks like they still do in some versions, and recently in a wide range of versions. www.motors.co.uk/used/cars/ford/focus/colour/yellow Reply to this message | Report message

Yes its true, Ford currently have a very uninspiring choice of colours, black, white, red and a range of insipid greys and browns. Last edited by: Zero on Tue 13 Aug 13 at 09:52 Reply to this message | Report message

We had a yellow panda, chosen because yellow was the only "free" colour at the time and we were not prepared to pay for paint colour. Only depreciated two grand in three years too, great little car. Reply to this message | Report message

They do the ST-3 in "Tangerine Scream" which sounds orange but looks pretty yellow on a web page. Reply to this message | Report message
