Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

On a slightly divergent note, my brother loaned me his car for my honeymoon - it was a specially imported Toyota MR2 turbo, with hardened /race level suspension.

Fine for me, alas my (new) wife was 3 months pregnant, not happy about the way I took corners, or the ride, or the engine noise, lack of luggage space, or about how difficult it was for her to get into or out of the car. There is just no pleasing some people, after all we I didn't crash and kill us!

However, at one point we pulled up at the lights alongside two ‘yoof’ in an XR3i, who decided to rev their engine and look over. She said to me ‘when the lights change, floor it!’ So I did, there was quite a considerable degree of lag until the turbo decided to cut in - and we blew past the Ford.

On reflection this may not have been a good strategy, what with my new wife and future daughter on board.

Was quite exciting though.

That's "sick" (urban dictionary). Theres hope in your marriage. My best of wishes to you both.

Somebody on my road has a black one, cab driver. It's soo good looking. Is there a reason why you went for red?

Are you defying gravity?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I like red.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Fair enough. Are you worried it'll fade over time or is that not a thing anymore with new paint.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

May even be the reason I tend to go for Orange, it depends on what colour your team play in ;)

I've never had a car fade on me, are you sure thats a thing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

The only car that faded was my Red S reg Astra, that was really bad.

My Austin MG Metro changed colour, from silver to rust brown all over.I preferred the rust brown tbh.

But then it disapoeared in a puff of rust on a windy day. British manufacturing at its best.
