In the past the family has had a number of green cars. All were written off in no fault accidents so I will never buy a green car.

Each to their own - my nemesis is red cars. Won't go into the full history but red cars have cost me a lot over the years and i don't mean just financially.

Mine's green but it ain't THAT green!



For those about to say it's silver or blue, the DVLA list it as green, Volvo call it Silver-Green (403 colour code) but then i suppose they ran out of ideas for green names after things like Cypress Green, Swedish Racing Green etc.

If I could afford one it would have to be repainted, probably a nice blue.

I'll have you know that's the same interior as my 940 and I think it's lovely haha.
Whoops! I thought it said 2.5 on the boot, as in the straight 6 whiteblock variant. Must have not had my eyes in.

In fairness, i've often mistaken the 2.3 for 2.5 on those 940s.

I did wonder if a bit of auto-suggestion had happened though!

What about Bleu de France W? Valspar used to do a nice one. Same colour as Hagon grass bikes,I used to hand paint them 'back in the day'
