Is it gay for a bloke to drive a purple car ::)
-
Depends who's driving it :-X
-
My brother had a purple Nissan Micra :-X
Depends what car I think, Micra - yes, BMW 5 series (as an example) no
-
Hmmm difficult. I'd say it's ok unless your wearing a pink shirt.

As said, depends on the car. My Dad used to have a MKIII Cortina in Purple Velvet - Same as this Capri :y

I think I would hang out for the 2.0 turbo unless you have a cheap supply of head gaskets :-X
I used to have a 620ti with the turbo lump and it bloody flew,had to get rid as I nearly lost my license with it :-[

I've been looking for months and there's only been 2 standard ones which have come up for sale and both around the £2000 which is too expensive for me :(

No such thing as a "bender" colour.
However, there are gender specific cars....... e.g. Mazda MX5. Suitable for girlies and hairdressers only.
Same goes for the Mazda Rx8. ::)
-
I was going to buy one of these ::) :-X

MX5 is very colour and spec-dependent. Flat blue, black, preferably with pop-up headlights - fine. Silver or baby blue, no chance.
As for purple? -

Mk1, or Mk2+?
If the latter, I'm slightly biased in that my mum used to run one before her SLK... ;D

Rover never really sorted their brakes out, always unspecced them.
The 220 turbo didn't wreck its brakes quite so quickly, probably because it was lighter. Mentally quick in its day, and the chassis could mostly handle it if you didn't whack down all the power from a stnading start. Had an LSD as well :)

Aye,have to say it went a lot better than it stopped :o,proper sleeper though as it looked pretty much like any other 620 :y

Add mini's to that. Just looks wrong when you meet a guy driving one, as I'm always expecting a sexy hairdresser to be the pilot :y :y

I bought SWMBO a 220 Coupe (NA) as a stopgap for £175 taxed and tested (12 months) and quite enjoyed it, although no matter what I did the brakes were woefully poor ::)

Edit: To be fair, I didn't upgrade to the extent of this one as I didn't drive it that often ;)
