    Re: C2S at Mt. Baldy

    Very, very brave!

    Don't the Dutch traffic police use a similar colour? Seem to remember a few years ago seeing their 911's in a shade of green.

    I think you're probably thinking of German police cars, which are green and white, but not quite the same shade of green.

    This thread brings back memories. Not of run-ins with the police , but of my first Porsche, which was signal green.

    Green cars are considered unlucky in some circles - particularly when you're trying to sell them on.

    Even with British Racing Green we didn't seem to win many races!!

    Signal Green,--1970 color. I like different colors,--especially nonmetallics! One of my dealers once called these "theft-proof green!" dan Blue-Turquoise P-T-S coming in June

    Lol, love that quote! :d
    As most of you, I find Mose very brave for chosing something different, but I would not chose it for 2 reasons; I don't like it, and I would not be able to sell it
