SWMBO has decided her first car must be pink, and having looked around has pointed out a mini cooper s 'coupe' (back to front cap looking jobby) in pink and black. To be honest although I'm not bothered about owning a mini myself, especially not the 'coupe', I wouldn't mind the odd spin in it to see what it goes like and think despite the colour I might end up doing so.

Would you care about being seen in a pink car, and if so are there any cars you would make an exception for?

Does multiple different levels of faded red panels that have gone pink count as pink ?

If so - yes I have done with a old pajero

I'd certainly rather driver a pink car than a silver or grey one.

It wouldn't bother me.
Would I let my SWMBO buy a pink car? If it was something like a Rolls Royce or suitably eccentric no worries. A mini though would have to be a no.
I associate cars like these to have stereotypical blondes with fake boobs and designer hand bags driving one.

I think i'd be more bothered about being unable to sell it once you're ready to change cars.

And looking incredibly gay.

I didn't have much choice - Many years ago I had a MKII Golf that started out red, but unless it was polished constantly had a tendency to morph to a shade of pink

Can't say I'd care, until recently I drove a bright purple car, and also have a brown car in the garage. So I'm probably not the best person to ask hehe

Also, does this count?



If so, count me in. I'd have one in a heartbeat.

I'd rather drive a pink car than a MINI Coupe.

I once had a BMW Convertible in Romantic Red, which I thought looked quite red when I bought it. However, in most lights it had a distinct Pink tinge and I never heard the last of it during ownership. The champagne beige leather didn't help matters!..

That 964 RS all day long

Also quite partial to a pink shirt/polo shirt

Do you have a pink house as well? Pink walls, pink cushions everywhere - are you living a life of pink hell?!

Personally I find the vast majority of pink cars *(especially Barbie Pink) look horrendous and the negative stereotypes associated with women who drive them is quite bad to.

My exception is not so much the car but the woman driving it, if she is a 10/10 stunner I couldn't give a st what other blokes think, if I'm sat in a pink monstrosity with Mrs Piggy next to me - shoot me.

I'd be more concerned about her choice of car than the colour.

Probably better off to buy in a sensible colour and then get a pink wrap.
