Why did you paint your calipers green?

Surely they were green already?

We went up to scotland the other week and we were bored so started pulling up level with lots of drivers and staring at them to see what they did..... comical.... It's hillairyarse when you pull up level to a car and then all 4 if you turn at the same time and look at the other car
