My previous lotus was bright orange - plenty of plonkers still pulled out in front of me.

Mind you that looked fast even when it was going slow unlike a cayman where people aren’t sure if it is going forwards or backwards….

Completely agree re: Racing Yellow being a safer colour. Really stands out in murky conditions. And you don’t even get charged a premium for the colour! ;)

And yes, I like driving something that stands out a bit from the monochrome masses (although I do fully get that some people prefer a subtle shade). :)

+1. Although I’d put 21” 911 Turbo wheels on it instead. :)
