God you make me laugh I can't believe you resorted to a poll.

It is YELLOW you big baby - Get over it! _ And no-one cares what your Rego papers say either.

I can't wait for you to lose this argument.

Cheers, Tori

You are all confused, are there any people that are not blind?

By the way, I have just been called a child, why is that?

Don't worry about the colour of you car Lynton. Because when I pass you at morgan park your paint will be sucked right off your car, so then you could paint it any colour you want. Hahaha.... :evil3:

But seriously, your car is YELLOW. do you realy think the QLD transport would get it right........ :

Citric Acid is what gives Lemons and Oranges their sweet taste.

In terms of colour it is yellow and if you can not see that you are blind and therefore should not have a licence. Give me your keys.

Toxic however, is green.

It's green - fluorescent green. I have this argument with my missus. Fluoro green may look yellowish, but it's not. It is green. Acid Rush was the Yellowish colour (baby poo, actually).

A Poll on AFF is not the way to settle this. Ring Ford Customer Care and tell them that you own an Acid Rush car and the RTA have listed it as green. They will either agree or disagree with that assessment.

I found this on FPVs site:

"During May, Blood Orange was the most popular colour in the FPV range, with production at more than double the rate of the second most popular shade, Citric Acid - a bright, retro yellow-green. Phantom (deep metallic purple) and Blueprint (bright mid-blue metallic) are the next most popular colours. "
(link = http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=5.411)

I bolded the relevant bit. Now, they call it yellow-green, not green-yellow, so it is a green colour. I think that has to be end of argument?!
