More original colour? Hmm. The yellow is good, and green and blue are the obvious ones. Jim Clark's Borders Reivers D was white (and recently in an issue of Octane). That would be nice

8 years, great excuse for a change.

Maybe Tim could tell us if any of this speculation, or suggestions will have any influence on his final decision?
Perhaps we are all wasting our time, and talents, the words, pearls and swine come to mind, although I would hasten to add that the word 'swine' should not be taken as a reflection on the aforementioned Tim.
I am sure that the gentleman is of outstanding natural beauty.

Just wondering Tim.

I'm not a religious person so can't comment on your reflections on my integrity and stunning good looks but in answer to the first sentence, it is absolutely possible that it may.

You could go all cross-marque and paint it in that mainstay of American muscle cars, Grabber Orange:

Full* of good** ideas, me.

*only one, not full at all
**"good" is a relative term

Slightly more seriously, I always liked the Group 44 colours:

I also liked this Muscle Milk livery from the Trans Am series a few years back - silver and yellow, very sharp:

This blue-with-a-yellow-stripe livery is attractive, too:

Finally, the recent ALMS JaguarRSR pseudo-works-supported livery is really sharp:

I'll stop now.

Well, It's a thought.

I see the PP Pink is catching up with the EE Blue. Better stop the poll before you're committed.

What's wrong with pink?

**Tim Falce** · 7 Nov 2013, 22:51 (Ref:3328672)

I quite like that, the car's not too bad either.

Right, pink it is Tim.

You'll have to update the overalls and helmet as well of course. Should be able to find a wig somewhere without too much trouble.

There's someone around here who has had a series of very pink cars over the years - mostly regular shopping stuff and not changed often. I think an early Mondeo was the first I can properly recall. Anyway, the same shade has now appeared on a Boxster. Have to admit it stands out from the crowd.

apriliadriver · 8 Nov 2013, 08:12 (Ref:3328792)

Fiat 500 - Windolene pink .... plenty of them round here.

Mike Bell · 8 Nov 2013, 08:19 (Ref:3328794)

Just seen a Merecedes Actross tractor unit in pink (luckily trailer not), so it's obviously the new black.......

Cliff Ryan · 8 Nov 2013, 09:06 (Ref:3328815)

I had a Series 1 XJ12 in Heather Pink with Cerise leather - a very fetching combo

zefarelly · 8 Nov 2013, 09:07 (Ref:3328816)

There's a pair of pink Honda JAzz parked on Worthing seafront outside a Pink B&B. both cars have pink fluffy interiors, probably not fireproof though before you get any ideas!

This reminds me that in my home town (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) there was someone who drove a pink E-type. Used to see it parked in the K-Mart parking lot from time to time (yes, really).

My wife has long been of the opinion that the only good Porsche is a pink one. She wanted a candy-pink 959 at one point.

Colin McKay · 8 Nov 2013, 16:57 (Ref:3329001)

A regular at one of our local pub meets bought a pink V12 E type at auction because no-one else bid for it. "It's not pink it's heather!" Same colour combo as Cliff's.

delta · 8 Nov 2013, 17:24 (Ref:3329012)

We had a pink delta for a new driver back in the early 90 s yep it looked horrible but with the sponsorship deal the driver got he also swung the down payment on his first house funny you know it's been 20 years since we ran him and I got some deisel on the way back from silverstone Saturday and there he was filling up a brand new merc

So is he a petrol pump attendant now?

davyboy · 8 Nov 2013, 17:31 (Ref:3329020)

I'm surprised nobody's suggested this scheme

... not forgetting the 'SHAGUAR' or 'SWINGERS' plate of course

GORDON STREETER · 8 Nov 2013, 17:51 (Ref:3329026)

Yes I'm a yuppie, I've just driven down the village in my 1997 Fiesta diesel to get some fish n chips off of the mobile van, I'm eating them at this moment with the cat trying her luck !

Anyway Iain, I thought you were on holiday in the Canaries, I take it you must have some free time and wifi ?

Mike Bell · 8 Nov 2013, 18:01 (Ref:3329029)

My goodness, you certainly know how to live, Gordon! The word decadent doesn't even start to describe such a lifestyle....

GORDON STREETER · 8 Nov 2013, 18:08 (Ref:3329034)

Some of us have to do it ! Mrs S if flamenco dancing tonight and I didn't fancy turning my skills to the cooker !

"The Cat", is that some old hippy term for Sue? Mobile chippy, that's a thing from the past or so I thought. We used to drive up to Bricklayers arms where there was a chip stall in the side of a building in Dunton Rd, they used to do the best savaloy and chips going. It's all since been pulled down and now a Tesco.

You're eating fish and chips and your cat? Serious hunger there Gordon.
