Flouro green is how I would describe it as well. To me it's close to a lime green I just don't see a resemblance to yellow at all.

OMG I thought we killed this thread.

It is over people – I WON – the colour is officially YELLOW according to 72% of the AFF community.

The people have spoken Lynton…. Sorry buddy! :

Ford say it's green, FPV say it's green, rego say it's green, which makes 72% of AFF members colour blind, or in denial.

Having recently become the owner of a Citic Acid XR6, I'm gonna go with green.
FWIW, NT MVR calls it yellow, but I'm going with green because every single person who has seen my car has called it green. When I first got it a bloke at work asked which one it was. I pointed at the car park and said 'the yellow one on the end'. He had a good look then asked if I meant the gold commodore ute up the far end :(

Can i have some of the drugs most of you people are on?

Citric acid is green, and so is Toxic.

Ohh and just a quick question, why does Gecko's, Gecko, look like a frog on steriods?
:P

Oh Dear – the gap is closing isn’t it… not by much though as I am still a clear 60 odd votes in front. Besides if I was worried I would just ask if there were any fellas out there who wouldn’t mind helping a 6ft blonde out by casting a vote._2:

As for Lynton’s Gecko looking like a frog on roids… I think it is obvious that the only reason it looks a little frogish is because it so so green…. Most Geckos I have seen are more of a yellowy colour including this BA. :


Cheers, Tori

Yeah thats right Ms Tori, use your "assets" to sway the male votes. You are only doing that because you know team green is right!

Lynton my dear, you are also a 6ft blonde so we are on an even playing field except of course I am way hotter than you. And don’t accuse me of using my “assets” - I don’t even have my “negotiation shirt” on… well not yet... but if yellow doesn't pick up soon....:

Deesun - as for my assets??? I really don’t think they should be up for public discussion. I mean I am a princess after all and should be treated with the appropriate amount of respect…. “Off with his head” :evil3:

Oh please! A google search to find out a colour, use your eyes! Who said the idiot that wrote it was correct. Oh he must have been, as we all know that all information on the internet is correct and beyond reproach (yeah right)
