And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
1st gen E-Types should be three colors: Red, Black and British Racing Green. I've seen white and blue ones but they don't display the sensuous curves as well.
I once had a medical intern who was all upset because he ended up with a bright-yellow rental (after wrecking his own car). Apparently as he pulled into the garage at 6am (like a good intern) the parking attendant said, "That'll wake you up!". That innocent remark got this kid all agitated, and he spent the morning sputtering and muttering under his breath about "HAVE to buy a new car now..." Sure enough, the next time I saw him he had a new-to-him Audi A4 of which he was very proud. It was an eye-searing bright metallic green, like you see on flies in summer.
Personally I'm not convinced that fly-belly green is an improvement over yellow, but de gustibus non disputandem est and all that.
LOL, We got a hell of a deal on a new Ford pickup that color, because they couldn't move it off the lot... The cows don't care what color your ride is...
British Racing Green... Buying my first ever NEW car, a '67 Healy Sprite, the brand new salesman breathlessly asked "British Racing Green, right!" His manager, who was helping him with the paperwork, replied sotto voce "It's the only damned green we got."
Definitely needs to be red..........
ReplyDeleteI've loved yellow vehicles since buying a shinny new 1972 yellow Beetle. But not being a sports car fan I'll vote Yellow, Yes...Car, No!

Definite "Yes" on the car, but the only proper color for a Jaguar is BRG.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a 120-mph taxi, doesn't it?

But +1 for British racing green.

ReplyDeleteI’ll bet he has no problem finding his car in the parking lot.

British Racing Green, it should be.

ReplyDeleteI have no problem with the yellow as that is my favorite color.
