Pull the other one guys we're not all fans of pink

Autotrader, ever living up to the macho motoring stereotype, recently ran a story with the title - 'Miss Englands' on the pull in London - and we're not being bitter or twisted here (well not much anyway) but we think the prettiest thing on show in the piece is the pink convertible Mini.

Of course, being serious motoring women we would choose the colour with a little more care. For instance, I've always been a fan of the classic British Racing Green, but I have to say, Laser Blue looks pretty cool especially as it's summer.

And if you're on a budget, the standard solid white is always a classy choice, but we'd avoid the addition of white wheel rims.

Baby pink is not a standard Mini colour and although we're sure the Miss England ladies didn't mind the exposure in Autotrader, the use of a pink car was hopefully not agreeable to all of them. We think they could have at least towed the car a little further than 15 metres.

Come on motoring mags – get with the programme – not all women wear high heels and have every conceivable item in baby pink – well not all of us anyway!
