God, I love Gulf livery.
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!)

So your saying i should paint my car green and pink? 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
