That was a game when my kids were young (they're all in their 30s now!) It was called "Yellow Car - Mini"; you got a point for being the first to see a yellow car and another for a Mini. If you spotted a yellow Mini you won the right to punch your fellow passengers in the leg.

I can only remember owning two yellow cars myself (one of which I still have). There does seem to be a move away from black and silver at last; I've noticed more colourful cars around in the last few years. My last two tin-tops have both been red.

Interesting that the game has been around for a while.

My mum told me that as a small child I wanted a Yellow Mini when I grew up. I remember seeing a Green MGB at age 6 and wanting one so I am guessing the yellow mini was before then. I finally got a Green MGB in my 60's but still have not got a Yellow mini. I still have time.
