reading a thread last week on BRG coloured S2 exige

got me a wondering what % of cars are sold in what colours

 

obviously in mass market 37 shades of silver seems to be the way, with a recent resurgence of white

 

but what about on our little forum, and how much effect did it have on whether you bought a certain car or not

 

so for starters

 

1* british racing green
