Here it is; the definitive rule book of the Yellow Car and Mini game.
BASIC RULES.
1. a) The car MUST be yellow; not gold, greeny-yellow, light brown or bronze, or any of that bollocks.
b) The car must be a Mini - either the new shape, which counts as one punch, or an 'old-school' Mini, a Mk1 shape, which counts as double.
2. The following vehicles qualify for the Yellow Car game: Cars, vans, lorries, motorbikes, buses - i.e. anything with wheels that is powered by itself. Trailers and bicycles are not valid vehicles, as they are powered by another party.
3. Upon sight of a yellow vehicle, shout 'Yellow car' (or 'yellow van' e.t.c, depending on the vehicle). If you are the first, you may punch a participant of your choice on the arm or leg.
4. If a player sees a yellow Mini, they may shout 'Yellow Mini', and dish out two punches to a player of their choice. If the player sees a yellow old school Mini, the punishment is tripled (i.e. 6 punches).
5. The 'Mini Rumble' clause; if the players pass a Mini showroom or forecourt, either player may call 'Mini Rumble', and an open mini-rumble may ensue, for a length of 5 seconds.
6. JCBs and other construction vehicles are only eligible if they are in motion; they do not usually come in any other colour than yellow, and they are normally seen in numbers, so do not count unless they are in operation.
7. Vehicles being transported by a car transporter are valid; they count as parked cars and are fair game.
Any amendments or challenges to the rule book should be listed in a comment! Happy punching!

Ooooh we didn't talk about boats! Do yellow boats count? (I don't think I've ever seen a yellow boat. But I've only lived in two landlocked cities, so I don't see many boats at all)
And you didn't specify the example of load-bearing lorries! Only the cabs count! The back bit DOES count as a trailer.
Well written article.
Here is a fun iPhone app for this game!
