No not at all, yellow attracts flies which in turn makes them crap on it leaving black spots, bloody nightmare to keep clean, I've no personal problem with the colour, Vincy grey is of course the best, anything else is what floats your boat www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

I am looking for a cheap car to thrash around a track occasionally. I think as a car they are ok, but the selespeed was notoriously unreliable or something. I quite fancy a 2.4. Could always drop the engine into your NA coupe ! Joe did it and tuned ot to a tad over 200bhp...

A friend of mind had one, pretty quick and sound nice but in the end he got rid of it. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad

Think I know where I'd rather spend my £1000 a year! Must admit though, I'd like to take a Schumacher version for a spin, in fact any one for a spin.
