• Ford - Fluorescent Fords 25 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I remember seeing some fluorescent Fords in the early 1970?s; they were either pale green or pink(ish) and were both on Capri and Escort models. The finish was matt, not metallic and they really were fluorescent. Not seen one for ages and ages. Does anyone know if the paint was a Ford option, or did they represent a short-lived DIY fashion phase?

  I was recently driving in France and entered a tunnel, some matrix signs, lit up with a red circle on a black background with a ₡ symbol. Can any of the knowledgeable folk here tell me what it is (though I suspect it?s an impending fine).
