Do you have a fleet wide colour option/preference?
Cheers,

At least they're different models in the same colour...

On my evening walk, I pass 2 houses with matching cars - 1 house has 2 Electric Macan's and the other has 2 electric Cupra Leon's

What the hells that all about ??? :roll:

There's a house on my street that has 2 x Aston Martins and 2 x FFRRs. They're all current models and change fairly regularly, especially the Astons.

I don't get it, if variety is the spice of life then have an Aston and a Ferrari, and a FFRR and a Cayenne? I met the woman once and really wanted to ask her why they always have two of the same car but it didn't come up.

It's to keep the depreciation down by spreading the mileage over two of them. :lol:

When I was a youngster, two brand new XR3i’s appeared at a house just along the road. Different colours at least. I was confused even back then, but also - of course - considered it CAF. Now I’m just confused by that kinda thing.

Norwich, good farming country. Of course they are buying green cars, and also voting for Liz Truss.

Had the weirdest neighbours growing up. They were husband and wife and they’d always buy the same variant of car but it was always so dull. It went like Astra for him, Astra convertible for her. VW Golf for him, Golf Plus for her. That kind of stuff with plates beginning with MR and MR5…

The husband was the angriest man in the world and as it’s coming up to Halloween this reminds me that we’d purposely keep knocking his door just because we found him screaming in anger until he almost passed out rather hilarious.
How about not having a sig at all?

I have 2 estoril blue BMWs, does that count? :lol:

At one point we had a topaz blue e46 touring, estoril blue e36 saloon and Montreal blue e36 compact. By accident rather than design.

We have two black cars. Not by design, just happened that way. When it comes time to replace them, I've been told that they have to be other colours.

By accident we had three E36 at the same time - 323i saloon and 328i touring in dark metallic blue with grey leather plus a grey 328i touring track car
