Well I've always fancied a bright yellow scorp but I'm sick.

Imagine a pink streak as it flies past at 140!!
Quick tale....years ago, my dear old dad wanted to buy a new car. He decided he would like to buy a MK IV Zodiac (having had the previous three types) We found one in Roman Bronze and went to view it at a dealer in Warrington (I am about 12 or 13 at this point and I am now 41) Dad sees the car and likes it a lot K reg top of range low mileage etc. etc. Anyway dad goes home to check on finances with mum and in the meantime, someone else calls in and buys the car. Dad is gutted but goes out and buys a Granada MK1 Ghia 3.0
Few weeks later, the guy at the garage phones back and says to my dad that the person who bought the Zodiac has brought it back and would he be interested. Even though we had the Granada we goes down to have a look. Whoever had bought this lovely big Zodiac in Roman Bronze with brown vynyl roof, had sprayed it PINK and put a black roof on it!! Dad gracefully declined and we walked away in disbelief!! We never found out why they had done it and I don't know if the garage ever sold the Zodiac, but I can remember it had WED in it's reg (which was the code for Warrington!)

Oh and in case you don't know what a Zodiac MKIV looks like:
