You could replace those Mondeos with pics of any new car and the post would still be totally accurate. It's so depressing. Quick someone, post up a red car!*

 

*Or I could just step outside and look at my Metro in Ripe Tomato flavour.

Definitely grey and always has been but the V5 says it's green

So grey it could be photographed in black & white and not look any different

Depression & banality summed up perfectly by the Google Images search "Grey Astra". I would show you a screen shot, but I'm clinging on to the will to live.

Dear Lord... I see what you mean...

Moved on from depression to suicidal thoughts? If so, type in 'grey Juke'.

Jesus, there's enough shades of grey in those two google searches to fill a semi-pornographic book.... and enough depression to make Mr Happy top himself.

My neighbour across the road (entire driveway visible from my front door) has a whole fleet of grey. Some of them are supposed to be silver, but you know... spot the difference. 306 sedan: silver. 107: bit of a blue tinge but effectively dark grey. Daughter's Yaris: silver. Other daughter's brand new Juke: take a guess. Yes, dark grey. Brother's Passat: silver. In fact almost everyone who comes to visit him has a grey car, and there isn't one of them who can drive. He does have a mk1 A40 in green, but I never see it in use.

 

So I go out on my balcony at the back, and take a hit of Ripe Tomato Metro.

Fifty shades of grey, eh?

 

 

Plenty of grey going on inside mine. And hot grey PVC action too, phwoar. It's there to inflict pain on the unwise shorts wearer . No really. It is.

Strange tho', when you think about it. Since everything went silver for the millenium, it's easy to forget that grey used to be a genuine choice. We did have a choice of colours, didn't we? I wasn't dreaming it?

 

 

There's probly fifty shades of grey on that Rover 95 alone...

I just posted this in the One Shite Pic thread then realised it belongs equally well here too. It's probably white underneath all that... maybe.

If it's grey you want then grey you shall have.

 

Behold, my old 1991 Volvo 240 saloon!

Let me present Antipodean Grey...

 

 

 

This colourful example is the interior of a Base-spec 1998 Ford Falcon AU - a car that despite having much to like, nearly killed off Ford downunder - or so some have said...

 

Thankfully the rest of the car is a little more cheery.... but only a little

2CVs could only be had in grey to start with.

 

Fittingly, the last one ever built was grey - two different shades! That's progress for you.

 

Also fittingly, the last 2CV built in France was grey too! Odd for such a colourful car. Sadly this car was stolen earlier this year and burnt out by idiots who should be flamegrilled.

 

This green Rover P6 is actually Lunar Grey.

If you looked up "grey" in the Oxford English Dictionary you'd see a photo of a VW Golf.

Most likely a 1.4 base model with wind-up windows and a cassette deck, even though it's 2012.

And the owner would have paid £800 extra for the oversized GTi wheels.

A few years ago Land Rover brought out a grey shade called Stornoway Grey.

This event wouldn't have made the news were it not for a rentamouth politician from the outer hebrides who thought that naming a grey after his town would damage tourism in the area.

He wanted LR to call the colour "Beautiful Silvery Stornoway, hotel rooms are reasonable, the whisky's good but don't dare do anything on Sunday!", or some such.

Highly irrelevant as LR's Stornoway Grey is nowhere near dark and forboding enough to be named after the town.

Niagara Grey from the p38 palette would have been better.
