Oh, sorry, I thought this was an F1 thread, I didn't know it was a fashion designers' meeting. Please go on.

I agree, and btw I just love that colour you used in your sig.

Well...now that you mention it, your cape could use just a dash of bishop red, it really highlights those gorgeous eyes you have.

The works team always had yellow wheels. Back in the good ol days, the majority of the teams made their own wheels too - Lotus had a full web wheel for most of the first half of the sixties; a bit slow on the uptake of spoked wheels which is odd for the team that first used a monocoque. The wheels drifted away from yellow once alloy rims and wheel manufacturers began supplying the teams.

The livery chosen by Lotus 2010 is that of the early 1960's, and that was BRG, yellow stripe and yellow wheels. And a red leather dashboard too :P

Conservative design, but I like the livery.
