For those who are not fans of yellow cars. These two Lamborghinis were parked outside our hotel in Dubai 30 mins ago. Both slightly different yellows but both very acceptable. 8)

Definitely not the only fan of AY on here, I'd happily have one. I just won't admit it very often because I'm in the VO club...

It's the only colour for a Z4! And I'm still using mine most days, even in this weather.

Obviously more difficult to park being yellow, though!

BMW Z4 E89 sponsored by the original "Bird's Custard". :rofl: :rofl:

You've obviously got a problem with other forum members posting, haven't you?

Why do you persist with this nonsense?

Get over yourself, for God's sake.

You need to get yourself a sense of humour, sunshine! :D
I would have thought it would be a pre-requisite having a custard coloured car. Obviously exceptions to every rule. :?

Love seeing bright colours, looks superb and must feel good owning something so rare.

Those 326m alloys really go well with the colour too I think.

Look forward to seeing that colour in person one day!

They are rare for a reason. Atacama Yellow was not an individual colour, or a limited edition. Rare because very few people ordered the colour so they dropped it early.

'Rare' so often means unpopular in car terms these days. Sorry but I ain't lying! :wink:

I understand it’s not a popular colour but if we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place. I’m glad this colour exists and would still love to see one.

Just because it’s unpopular doesn’t mean it hasn’t got its own appeal, especially with something like colour which is very subjective.

Btw, I don’t think you mean any maliciousness with your comments about the colour Pondrew, I think it’s just knowing your audience.
Joking about someone’s colour when they’re sharing their pride and joy in a thread which is celebrating the colour probably won’t go down well, unless you know the person well enough and that they’ll take it as a joke of course!

Cheers

Another 23i at 76k miles..£9.5k…pauper spec with heated seats…Marmite wheel choice..maybe previous cracked OE wheels?

Price down from £11k reflecting winter / declining market ?

Been around as pictures show both private and original plates.

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
