Why are the streets full of grey cars ?

I used to own a gold car and it was much easier to spot in car parks!

Even when I lived in France 22 years ago I noticed that the French preferred cars in dark metallic neutral colours. I also realised that Britain is the only country in the world where people actually buy red cars. The worst period of British automobile history was the brown and tan of the Leyland seventies - BL Sandglow is still used to paint Land Rovers for expeditions and Camel Trophy type events.

My bike is grey because it's unpainted titanium. Luvverly.

Red for me, every time. I'm not a sports car person either, just love red!

They have red cars in the States. I had a red rental in LA last year.

I had a 'beige' Marina Coupe. 1972.....it's still around i think. I see it on my ride sometimes. Not 100% sure, but its the same year, with a very familiar looking numberplate.
I also had a 'beige' Maestro.....thats definately not still around.....it rusted to buggery while i still had it
