Re: 'Yellow Car'
Someone who live right opposite me has a yellow car, so I can say it whenever I look out of the window!

Re: 'Yellow Car'
I must admit to being a different kind of a geek with what first comes to my mind when you guys mention this (although the original itself is neat!). Whenever I see a yellow car, on the other hand (better, but not necessary, if it has two certain black stripes), I amuse myself by happily thinking 'Bumblebee!'

Re: 'Yellow Car'
We started playing it with my friend's 4-year-old when I visited her in England in May. Then I taught it to two colleagues when we were driving to a meeting in June. It's now so ingrained in my brain that I call out "Yellow car!" in my head whenever I see one. And sometimes I'm nerdy and play the visually supported version with the help of my smartphone. 
Yellow car!
(petrol station somewhere north of Mannheim with two dudes probably going to Rock am Ring)
Yellow car!!
(near where I live)
John Finnemore would be so proud of me.

Re: 'Yellow Car'
I think 'Yellow Car' is a lot different here in Denmark...
When ever you see a yellow car and you call it; you have permission to hit the next person hard in the shoulder. School trips always ended in coming home with black bruises...

Re: 'Yellow Car'
Snrk. Soo….. Arthur, it is okay if I quickly say/think 'yellow car', and then 'Bumblebee!' ? (ahem… geeky Transformers tie-in)
(seriously… I've seen like, perhaps seven just this week! one with the black stripes that really did look like Bumblebee! pleased, goofy fangirl…) ;D

Re: 'Yellow Car'
What a great game! I hadn't played it before, but now I'm going to play it forever!
