From HJ's lastest auction report. Never has the description of a colour brought such an enormous smile to my face.

If you look at the advert of the one with the pink rear hatch is it just me that thinks of baboons with the red bits?

I'm surprised this hasn't been referred to the Race Relations Board.

I saw the car he was talking about.
It was this electric pink colour, it was a Vitara. It had massively flared, white arches with very wide alloys and very low profile tyres. It appeared it couldn't drive over an acorn safely.
White soft top, aerial with one of those curly, coily, ball things at the top of it.
Green sun strip.
Fur on back seats.
John and I were laughing trying to work out who on earth would buy the thing.
The joke was that John was exactly right in his prediction of what type of person would buy it , but the price was more than 3000 pounds.
I would be crueller if there was no chance of the buyer ever reading it here.

Back in the seventies, Hillman (Chrysler, or whoever else owned that brand) brought out an awful pink colour on the Hunter. When talking about cars at work one of my mates said "Oh, you mean the one painted like a Durex packet!" Always called the Hillman Johnny, thereafter.
