Do you like this car colour?

Is this colour a bit gay for a car, for a man, or not?

It's a nice colour as it is (dawn blue) but is it not 'Male' enough? (this particular example happens to be an S40 T5).

(asking or a friend

)

Looks alright to me, it wouldn't stay that colour for long after a couple of days on the salty roads!

It's not very different to this

Am I to assume this is a coincidence

(No sniggering please, Puggy)

Doggy yours is more 'silvery' than this one which is a very distinct blue but a sort of fashionable blue (the sort of colour a Woman would by the car for alone).

I was only kidding, Welly.

Colour doesn't look too bad to me, I hate white, dislike black and all the rediculous purples and oranges you get on unpleasant, fashionable small cars. Other that I'm not too bothered.
Guessing, the colour is specific to Volvos if you, I mean if your friend wants one, Bournemouth or Eastbourne's probably the place to look....

I agree - it looks Ok now, but in a few years? Not so sure. The ST might grow old gracefully as it's fairly special and we make allowances, but purple Nissan Notes or a lime green Aygo - *shudder*

I had the displeasure of driving a yellow smart car a few years ago, grotty little motor

Cheeky git

If any pictures exist they will be destroyed

Mind you it had more street cred than the Daihatsu Move!

Fixed, for accuracy

On the subject of Focus STs my friend looked up about them on the ST forum and they are a massive target for aggrevated theft at the moment

since Nov 2008 there were 4 cars on the forum which had been stolen by forcibly taking the keys from the house at night

one car was blatently stalked over xmas and the owner was terrified and tried all sorts (even chaining the thing down to his drive)

Apparently though the Volvo S40 T5 has all of the same chassis and running gear as the ST but none of the drama's or attention like this
