vulgalour Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Sorry chaps and chapettes, unfashionably late of me I know, but here's my big slab of British beige. And some other dross I found lying about the place (read: internet). I don't think I even like beige, and yet that seems to be what makes it so appealing.
se325919 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Am I the only person to change the colour of a car to beige?This was metallic blue prior to the restoration:
eddyramrod Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Am I the only person to change the colour of a car to beige? I sincerely hope so! Remind me not to buy a used car from you... (I hate beige, which may be something of a handicap round here!)
Morgan84 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Am I the only person to change the colour of a car to beige?This was metallic blue prior to the restoration: That is so hideous,it is in fact beautiful !! It reminds me of the kitted up Yugo 45's that used to be out and about many many years ago,long before the days of the little cockroach on wheels that is the Citroen Saxo.
cort16 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I saw one of these new KIA Picanto's in Asda car park in beige the other day.
cobblers Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I saw one of these new KIA Picanto's in Asda car park in beige the other day. Crikey O'Blimey! Seems quite amazing that a car could go through design to type approval, production and marketing, and then pass through a dealers forecourt and onto some old biffo's driveway without anyone actually looking at it. Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but there's no other explanation for that thing being on the road.

vulgalour Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I can't decide if this is a quaint "peek-a-boo! I see you." or the Jaws theme tune.

lancialover Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 My car was originally beige and the previous owner was too cheap to respray the engine bay. When I first opened the shining red bonnet to gaze at the beautiful Lancia (erm FIAT) engine I found it framed with beige paint...the automotive equivalent of lifting a skirt and finding a hairy bollock poking out the side of tight panties.

Just spat my coffee over the work pc at the thought of that analogy! I'll just stick to lifting kilts now. At least then you know what to expect!

brickwall Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 ^ What a sweetie. That's all you need for a pick-up. All the local tradesmen here have those "cowboy builder crew cabs".
Station Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Are we talking just cars or beige in general. It's just that I unearthed this photo of me c.1984 in all-over beige-ness (with a dose of ginger thrown in for good measure). A true follower of fashion even then You look like a ginger version of Danny Trejo. dugong 1
