The colour of my car - BRIGHT ORANGE ???
Ok,
As some of you may know I now have a Focus ST-2 Electric orange.
I didnt care what the colour was when I got it as I just wanted a modern
reasonably fast FORD.
It is a very nice car if a little under powered.
But......
My kids love it, My wife WONT get in it
Everyone looks at me when I drive it down the road.
Is this because they recognise this as a Special Version Focus,
because the colour is very rare or because I look like a 40 year old
in a 18 years car.
Your kind thoughts are invited please.....
How much are resprays

even MY missus got in our drift car, and i painted that orange with rattle cans,,, aaaaaaaaaaaand it had one headlight smashed and both indicators
so said it was shit tho, and unfortunatly i had half of our new kitchen in the back or i would have showed her my drifting skills,,, again

definitely think people look at them because theyre an eyecatching car, in a very nice colour, and as for looking like your sons car, i aint seen anyone young driving one,
imo its the best colour theyve done in a long time

I like the colour, you recognise the cars in orange whereas you don't in Blue etc. Was out kitchen shopping with my dad the other day though, he turned to me and went ''Orange? Do people not realise they look like absolute morons'' ''Dad, moron is welsh for carrot'' ''All the better''.

I wouldn't say I look at the new ST as a young persons car really. Maybe due to the cost and insurance. I wuld say late 20s/30s main age group? Suppose a salesman from ford can shed light on main buyers?

Just got a quote for me & the wife on an ST3 out of interest.
I'm 23, had my licence for 2 years, 2 years no claims, clean licence (until i seal this envelope and send this letter back anyway....bugger), insured for business use - up to 30k/year (20k business miles)
£2680.57 with £800 excess
If i could justify paying it...it'd be an orange one for sure though
Get her Corsa resprayed in orange.....she'll get used to it

perhaps more useful though, would be to know how to say moron in welsh
