    here we go - it's this car/year/model/colour

    http://www.netcarshow.com/honda/2001-accord_coupe/800x600/wallpaper_02.htm

    the garage has only just put it up for sale which is why this is a stock photo.

    Told you it was big and gold :rotfl:

    I like it though :o I might even live with the gold bit :o

    Executive yuppy furry dice I'll have you know :D

    It brings out the 'greed is good' late 80s girl in me, it's a big car :eek::rotfl:

    But gold _pale_

    Advantages of a car being a putrid colour:
    1. You're inside - so you don't see it
    2. The small number of seconds you do see it, helps you not to lose the car in the carpark
    3. People avoid crashing into you as your paint will scrape off onto their car

    Though I do have objections to other people having a abhorrently coloured car - mainly because I can see it...

    rather perversely though, you can't get much more 'pensioner' than an Accord.

    I am obviously very weird in my car choices!

    Why not? Amount of miles you do, Prelude will do you no harm.
