Where have all the green cars gone?

[Willd]

My second car was green, a bit of a wishy washy one at that Not the actual car, but pretty similar, as far as I can remember

How can you see it? Everybody knows that green cars are invisible.

Like F35 jets - you "literally can't see them"?

My last two Land Rovers were green

Okay!, the 110s predecessor only looked green in certain light, it sometimes appeared blue, a 'flip-flop' paint that I seem to recall that LR called Atlantic Blue

Not this one, but it was the same colour

The visual effect is known as metamerism. Not a lot of people know that.

We had a green car until last Wednesday.

Became a red car. No nice green colours on the VW palette.

I have a darkish green car..
It's quite a small hatchback.

Living in leafy green Devon ☘️ I do feel a bit 'invisible' sometimes, people are always pulling out in front of me in their big silvery SUVs.

It means I just drive defensively assuming no one has seen me, a bit like on the bike.

Whether that makes me safer or not, is anyone's guess.. 🤔

My first car was a Vauxhall Chevette
Mine was very brown though (& gold)


I'd love to be allowed to look for a 2300HSR

Known as the "Mars Bar".

FiL Mk1 owned one, but for some strange reason px'd it for a poxy little 950cc Fiesta Popular Plus. No idea what the "Plus" was supposed to denote, it was as basic a box as you could get.

All of them? I had one of these for a few years and it was visible from space.

Oooh, now you've set my memory banks racing. I thought the difference was the radio console being included, but it's actually more than that.

"It featured luxuries such as a rear tailgate washer jet and wiper, a rear package tray, a centre console with clock and fabric trim, all features over and above the straight Popular version..." https://www.projectbobcat.com/model-info/mk1-ford-fiesta-popular-plus

It wouldn't matter what colour your car is 'w*nkpanzer' drivers do that to everyone.

EDIT the software turned it into 4x4, if I'm talking about a 4x4 it is generally a fence post.

Back in the 1080’s the height of class was either an Oak Green Golf GTi 16V or a dark metallic green E30 325i touring with a tan leather interior, the owner usually wore pink chinos and Gucci loafers!
