You are being very persuasive - but I still have a yen for an all-yellow
hard-top car. I have an image in my mind of a yellow E-type with a
black roof, which looks dreadful! Maybe the answer is just to slap
some black paint on it for the moment and then wait until the summer (if
we get one this year) before stripping all the old paint off and
painting it yellow. Of course, if I come to like it black...
