DSdriver Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Nice one Skizzer I haven't seen a Fiat 1300/1500 on the road since my Dad's one turned to cobwebs in the rain back in the early seventies. His was a millecinquecento (the badge took up most of the width of the dashboard). Column change, sporty engine and tuned exhaust on his. I seem to remember, even as an early teenager, being surprised that the rear drums were cast aluminium alloy, presumably with a steel insert.

eddyramrod Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can I sneak this in? Honorary like.... No, you can't. It's new, it's pig-ugly, and however shit it might be (name any level beyond "fuck me, never again!" and I'll believe you) it'll never qualify as shite. Have an autotesting Rolls Royce instead!

vulgalour Posted March 11, 2012 Share 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.

eddyramrod Posted March 11, 2012 Share 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...

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.

cobblers Posted April 5, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancialover Posted May 29, 2012 Share 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.

Station Posted May 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
