Serves him right, not for the banana yellow colour, but for having a griffin on the grille. A plague on all Vauxhalls, except those made before GM bought them. That plague extends to their Saab subsidery too. Swedish And Absolutely Boring.
There's a mini near me that's had a paint job done, I haven't photographed it in case I look like a pervert. But it looks very much like this. Have to say it doesn't go down well with the neighbours, but if you saw the old brass that drives it...................

Dear GHT - Give it up - you know all this not liking things & general grumpiness will not be doing your health any good at all - maybe you should see a specialist we are all concerned for you and should you require any assistance in getting admitted please do not hesitate to ask - take care now

OK, bets being taken on the outcome of the up & coming boxing match between, in the yellow corner, Mr R GHT, dapper old sort from Englandshire and, in the lime green corner Mr C Grumpynortherner, the younger, possibly lighter man, but one who took on German rust single handed recently and won.




Any car would remove the illusion of the image being directly out of the olden days, so we can assume that it's only because the victim here is bright yellow that it got a seeing to at the hands of the National Trust's finest ninja team. Or is it that some folk have a problem with flamboyant pensioners who like to lead their lives in a way that smashes straight through the stereotype?
Hmm, who do we know who fits that particular bill, what with his shiny old car, his Al Capone fashion and his loud shirts...

John, you have it all wrong, not that you couldn't be mistaken given the evidence before you. Grumpy Northerner lives in Hampshire, last time I checked, Hampshire was in the south. GHT is a flamboyant pensioner who wears loud shirts and has a dapper dress style. Grumpy Northerner may not have the years under his belt but let me tell you, he certainly cuts a dash at The Goodwood Revival.
