I did it. Yesterday we went out to buy a British racing green Tiger. Now all I need is to get the paperwork done and get a licence plate. Next week I'll bring her home.

Congrats, you'll love it. Sorry, but orange is faster.

So they say. We'll see. Anyway, the BRG has more stamina and i've heard rumours about increased reliability.

Since green is a soothing and relaxing color, it gives the illusion of calmness, while actually being a higher frequency than orange, just quieter. Therefore green is faster ;-)

Very interesting theory, there might be some truth in that.

Don't get me started on the colour thingy again ....oh alright then you started it!

BRG Green = same colour as trees and grass so it blends in
Orange = Hazard....best avoided!
Black = The colour of the night...possibly possessed ?
Yellow = Custard Tankers :razz:
Lime Green = Just that....lime green :razz:

Silver = Whooosssh!....fast as you like :-D

ONLY JOKING.......

All Tigers are cool

There is at least a great deal of tradition with that dark green colour.
