MaxA said:I was at a local cars n' coffee yesterday morning (it was public holiday, before you ask) and it struck me that - apart from the race and drift cars - 9 out of 10 were dull greys/blacks/whites etc. Perhaps they were all 'stealth' [if you're running an illegal supercharger this might be a good thing], but I suspect they're simply daily drivers. I am just as bad, as my cars are white and grey.
There were on the other hand only a couple of brightly coloured cars, and they really stood out. Presumably this is a bad thing, as you might attract the wrong kind of attention (Rozzers, knobs). But it's a shame as the bright blues, yellows and such looked so great in the sunshine...
We need more colour in our lives! :grin:
Max, I think you always find the majority of cars are sold in safe colours and through out the early 21st century thats been black and silver with White arriving later in popularity as a safe colour.
I understand that concept for the ave daily or rep mobile but if your buying a sports car or an exotic your not exactily buying a bland rep/eurobox so why select a safe colour :?: sort of says look at me but not too hard :floor: I have a loud car in a dull colour lol.
I like bright colours and to be honest if your hooning up the M1 at 120mph whether its grey or viper green the old bill :cop: are going to be interested.
Dont get me wrong I like black and silver, black as it looks stunning when clean and silver because it looks good even when not clean lol. but love seeing 911s fezzas ,lambos, mazzas in bright colours
and I would imagine some other countries the buyers are even more conservative on colour then even us Brits.
