Too damn right

Never fancied red cars anyway. Probably because I've always been a 55 year old accountant trapped in a younger man's body - pretty much since birth - but black, silver or, if feeling frisky, maybe blue.

No thanks to red.

Not sure how it is in England, but red cars here are watched more closely by cops for tickets. So buying a red car is pretty fucking stupid to me.

Total bollocks of course because if should apply to Boots and Hair too.

That's interesting. Didn't know that. Is that because red draws the human eye's attention more easily I wonder? If so, it's likely a trend in all countries.

Another reason not to buy a red car anyway.

You raise an inarguably valid point... Maybe it's faster but impares judgement?

But our sponsor is red.

Of course, red is a lucky colour in China so maybe you get let off speeding tickets there in a red car?

Yep you nailed it. It brings on attention to your self.

I always thought the US coppers looked at the colour of the driver.

Silly me

my understanding of this is that traffic cops play car snooker. first you have to pull a red car and then a coloured car to represent the colours on a snooker table. hence why red cars get pulled more.





or it could be total bollocks. but i like the snooker idea.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Never allowed the old man to buy a red car either. Helped my daughter buy her latest car and she already knew the rules.

I keep getting a slap around the head from the mrs everytime we're out shopping and my 7yr old boy wants something red or mrs suggests it and I tell him 'better dead than red' lol.
Got to drum it in early.
Prob not very pc but fk it

edit- can imagine spurs board meetings negotiating sponsor logo on shirts and someone brings to the table 'but better dead than red MrLevy surely???'.


'Get out.'

lol.

I don't even eat red apples.

Just made the Mrs chuck a dozen out right now.

& a pomegranate & all

the car snooker thing is true , a traffic copper told me to avoid buying a red car . points are scored by the colour as in snooker and winner takes the pot at the end of the month .

forgive me father I have sinned "TWICE". passed test pretty late, but 1st car was red. exchanged it a year later for a four junk heap to do mini cabbing which was blue. unfortunately it was never going to last forever, and when on it's last legs I was pretty skint till I won £700 on a win patent. a fellow Spurs fan was completely skint and sold me his motor so at least I could work, unfortunately red.

since then I have never allowed red, please forgive me for my sins
