New car advice from the brothers please.

smashey

Brothers,

I'm going to change the car and was looking at the model I want at the weekend. Now, I'm not going to get all "petrol-head" here as there is a motors forum for that.

What's eating me is the colour of it.

Is red a wimmins colour?

ShayK1

I'd say it depends on the car. I like red BMWs with sweet wheels. There's also a nice red Merc in the carpark in work but that is infact owned by a wimmin

John Mason

i have a red car but the only problem is the red fades and you have to use that bloody t-cut stuff on it the whole time, said care is now nearly pink with one very red shiny door

Damn.

Ginny

Seriously you're asking about colour?
:rolleyes:

Anyway, this should go in the wrong threads thread....:D
Silver or black are always the best sellers.

I have to say my dad has a 8 year old escort that is still as red as the day he got it with minimal of care.

To be truthful I have never like red as a colour of car. there have been very few instances where I thought red suited a car

Hey GinnyJo,

Less of your lip.;)

The car is exactly what I've been looking for but I don't want to be seen as some kind of modern Penelope Pitstop due to it being a wimmins colour. Therefore, I asked the brothers for advice.

Ginny

Lemme guess since the Brothers will know more about the colour of the car?

Anyway as a Driver I'd never buy red, fades too much, mines iron grey right now, I'd only go for a variation of silver or black.

The Brothers have an in-built metro radar.

Oh get over yourself ya big girls blouse.
If the car is exactly what you want, what does it matter if it's red.

Seth Brundle

As we are discussing the colour of a car and not the colour of wall paint, clothes, carpet, hair, etc. its a manly topic and OK.

Personally red isn't bad but there is maintenance with it over time. Try and get metallic paint if you can!

Cathmandooo

my car number one is wine, my bro owned it first, so it's close enough to red so I'll go for red being manly.

car number two is a weird latte colour

yes I have two cars*, I rock





*I own neither but still

You aren't a brother so your advice doesn't count.

I wouldn't see a red car as feminine. A car is a car at the end of the day! (Except those disgusting pink/yellow ones. Come on! :rolleyes:)

Now if you wear a pink shirt whilst driving said car we may have to kill you!

Hagar

Ferrari Red is definitely not feminine.

I don't know. This may be controversial but there's something unmanly about ferraris. Like the man has to have one to compensate for something else.

I was actually going to say soemthing similar earlier on. Unless a ferrai is racing around an F1 track I don't them in red

Ginny

I don't like Ferrais at all, never have I think they're quote girly in general...

I agree. Definitely not a manly car!

Just as long as you don't go down the Stephen Ireland route when it comes to buying cars. http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/02_03/IrelandPinkRange_468x269.jpg :eek:

It’s hard to say whether red is acceptable unless we are told the make & model. For example:
Red Nissan Micra – You’re a named driver on Yore Ma’s policy
Red Fiat Punto – Ladyboy!
Red Ferrari whatever – OK, but screams “I have a short todger!”
Red BMW 320I – Just right.

QFT!
Agreed 100%

Forget about a car, I've managed to make it into my 30's without ever driving or needing a car, that €50 or €60 a week it costs to run can be put to better use... like drinking!

It's not right unless it's a 6-pot.

the answer to brother smashey's paint dilemma is simple.

pop down to the gym; what is the most popular color in the car park ? *

just match the color ... and you'll be sure to fit** right in








* most likely to be lavender
** ha ... didja see what I did there ?

Don1

Metallic red on the right car is teh secks,

Beemers, Alfas (rosso not that pink/purple red), Ferarris (still deadly don't care what anyone says), Nobles, Peugot 406 coupé (pinninfarina design yummy), some Audi's.

However, black is still the best colour in the world ever for a car, end of!! (provided it's clean though)

Silver is over done tbh and doesn't look well after a few years.
White is starting to make a comeback and I for one am happy!! (see 911, Lambos, AMV8 Vantage, Type R Hondas)

Trout, your obsession with lavender is becoming quite worrying. What with aprons, goats and now lavender, I've got my worries about you.

pa trout was always fond of the nutcracker as weapon of mass distraction. If timed correctly, he maintained a swift kick in the happysacks would stop a galloping horse.

Smashey, just get an aston martin. Sexiest cars in the world. With the amount of forums you mod, your mod salary should more than cover it.
