Could anyone explain the meaning of his car a volvo was the same color as his motorcycle which was a mixture of two brown paints.they called the car the ""Flying Shi*t but people called the the volvo which was the same color ""Safari Yellow""?
To answer your question, the mixed two tins of paint to have enough to paint his van. His mates called his motor "The Flying Shite" on account of the blended colour looking the same as dogshit on the pavement. By coincidence, he subsequently owned a Volvo of the same colour, the shade of which the manufacturer termed "Safari Yellow".
No, He painted his old van with paint which he'd mixed from two cans of different shades of brown. The ex-W.D. Motor Bike had nothing to do with it. If memory serves, THAT would have been Green in colour.
@@martynwheeldon1344 During WW2 Britsh Military vehicles were painted various shades of Earth Brown. Whatever colour came out of the mix. So a yellowish shade was not uncommon. So a shite coloured mix is quite posible,
