What Is The Colour Of Your Car?

[icyfroth]

My Ford Focus is Plum Blush.

It's actually a charcoaly purple.

Whenever wer'e looking for it in the car park we say "have you seen a plum blush?"

My DD's little Getz was Jazz. A bright red.

  I had a chuckle at the name of that colour too Ivy lol

It's been discontinued now that colour, I did think about buying a Commodore in that colour for a nano second but I will never buy a green car the merge into the countryside to much, though it's a beautiful green.

 any pics of the Alfetta J*oono ? ive had them in a few colours.. red and rust red, white and rust red, never broke a transmission or engine but the rear window blew out at around 140kph as the rust in the frame made it a little loose.

mine was a 79 model, i vaguely remember the colour was called monza red? but, it was a gleaming shade, loved it.

pity about the rust problems with those old italian cars hey (russian steal supply problem

rosso corsa ?   the other red was prugna ? which was less common i'd say like the blue ones. i had some bertone 105's as well .. one wasnt at all rusty. the rest were shockers apart from the 33 16v which wasn't as rust prone as the earlier alfasuds . (i had a couple of those too)

I think it was Deb that had the Alfetta Lakeland. That rust made it more than a little loose!  I hope there wasn't anyone behind you

 sure was . it was on the great ocean road and it hit the celica that was tail -gating . it didn't cause any real damage but its a pain driving from Lorne to Adelaide without a rear window

That would've been more than tad scary LL especially along there.

Only owned one Alfa, a red Spider 🙂

 theres a few spyders around these parts, but i never owned one. they made very good investments.. as did these,

 which were well worth tucking away as there is a lot of demand for good examples. i preferred to cane the things and park them on the street . i'm probably an unfit person to look after one properly

Wasn't that vintage LL but that is a nice example of a Spider, the one I had was a 2000 model, didn't have it for long but long enough to enjoy it 🙂

[poison_ivys_pen]

This is the one I had

[debra9275]

Ivy's Alfa was better than mine 

& you're right LL that was a rusty 1750. I think mine was a 76 model.

the white one OH had was a 2 litre
