Yellow Cars Rally To Support Bullied Pensioner

[naomi24]

People visiting a Cotswold village claimed that Peter Maddox’s bright yellow car ruined their photos and someone even vandalised his vehicle causing £6,000 of damage. Mr Maddox ,84, had decided to get rid of the Corsa but his fellow villagers came out to support him besieging the village with a drive-through of around 100 yellow cars.

To add their support for Mr Maddox, car manufacturer Vauxhall have renamed their yellow paint shade ‘Maddox Yellow’ in his honour.

Good for them! A story that brought a smile. Happy driving in your yellow car, Mr Maddox.

What is wrong with some people. Vandelising an OAPs car because its yellow and appeared in their pictures??? Unbelievable!
Strangely enough ive got some friends who are travelling down to the Cotswolds today for a few days, pity their cars grey and not yellow.

I love it. If I had a yellow car I'd be there too.

I'd be there, too. What a bunch of a***holes!

[ummmm]

Good for them indeed.

I used to have a yellow car. They are really handy if you're rubbish at remembering where you parked :-)

That's why I have a ginger partner...he's easy to spot in a crowd...

Happened on 1st April- don't know if that was a deliberate choice of date.

I used to have a yellow two seater sports car once; until it decided not to hold the road in the wet and write itself off :-(

poor mr Ummmmm ! ..lol...ginge rools ok ?

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, it's not an April Fools joke. The complaints started a couple of years ago when someone posted a picture on Twitter and said ""Picture postcard street photobombed by ugly little yellow car." The car was vandalised in February this year.

what nasty 'orrible snobs !! I'd paint mine rainbow and drive around playing loud music !

[Cloverjo]

My local news reported that he'd replaced the yellow with a grey car, so as not to upset people. I repeat: a***holes!
I hope he gets a lime green one next. Or whatever damn colour he likes.

[naomi24]

Haha! I wouldn't do the loud music - I couldn't stand that myself - but I may well paint a car in rainbow colours!!

[murraymints]

hmm..p'raps not the music...dress up in clown's garb and photobomb all the tourist hotspots !!

[Old_Geezer]

Oh no !!! It's Minty that keeps driving around here then !

[nailit]

what about dressing as a clown, driving a yellow noddy car while blasting out a bit of Metallica?

[waterboatman]

The car was parked outside the owners house. He had every right to park there.

[waterboatman]

The gutless git didn't have courage to do it in daylight!

[aelmpvw]

knowing my luck if i had planned to go to the event i would have followed a random yellow car that was going somewhere else ...

[murraymints]

shhhh OG...dinnae tell !

[ummmm]

Lol ael. That's something I would do :-)
