Mk 1 Fiesta Finesse (White)

Mk 2 Fiesta Sport (White)

Mk 3 Fiesta Ghia (Red - thought it wouldn't show the dirt as much as a white one)

Renault Clio mk1 16V (Burgundy(ish) - to show even less dirt than a red or white one) - Engine seized at 72k miles but it was a company car so I didn't care.

Peugeot 106Gti (Blue)

Peugeot 206Gti (Blue)

Toyota Corolla (Blue)

 

 

Focus Ghia (Blue, auto - fine for driving in traffic, shite in snow)

 

Next car soon - prob another Focus or Fiesta. Stuck with blue ones as they seem to show the dirt least of all.

 

Silver cars show the dirt least - factamundo :good:

I'll remember that (possibly), thanks.

All these little engined cars! Ive got a 6 litre Yank Tank in the garage, mind you petrol is 15p a litre here. Had a 4.8L TVR Cerbera when I lived in the UK. That was a beast. As were the repair bills....

My Brother had a Mustang for 2 years, managed to get 20mpg on the run, awesome car though

 

TBH Green cars seem to be pretty good at hiding dirt. MY t4 was silver and always looked mucky..
