Another beauty that I didn't know existed!



And only $375,000

two colours you wouldn't think would go together orange and light blue but they always look very on a car

wrong - orange and blue are complementary colours; these are the ones on opposite sides of the 'colour wheel'.


they should clash but instead have a pleasing affect on the eye.

There was a Gary Fisher MT Tam bike in orange and blue that I regret not buying from the local bike shops but instead bought a pissy yellow coloured one from the USA. (<-- that was my interesting complementary colour story, we all have one so do tell!)

I keep promising to do it but I promise I will soon, I have a photo of a leman winning gt40 at the gulf refinery where i worked.

I'll scan it some time

it just works right doesn't it
