    Re: Blue Pics

    Very nice, though I have to ask about the front plate--it's not legit is it?

    I ask because I picked up my Volvo in Sweden and they tag the visitors with red plates, presumably to alert the locals of a potentially erratic tourist. Surely the Germans need notice as well?

    Re: Blue Pics

    Yeah, that's a different plate than the 1st pics- isn't it. I like it much better than the stubby US spec.

    Great color combo Dan!

    Re: Blue Pics

    really cool Dan...more pics and with top up too.


    Re: Blue Pics

    More more! Have any of yourself in the alps??? Glad to see you made it back to the factory, safe and sound!

    Re: Blue Pics

    That is some wild blue....baby
    happy to see a somewhat neutral interior going on there.
    Enjoy summer congrats..coppers (police) will see you coming, be careful

    Re: Blue Pics

    Here's a few in the alps! Dan

    Re: Blue Pics

    Re: Blue Pics

    gotta love the snow sheds...

    Re: Blue Pics

    Great pics..

    You must of enjoyed your travel a lot.

    I travel through the Simplon pass about 8 times a year... Great drive!! And the sound of the PSE in the snow sheds is just great

    Re: Blue Pics

    Simplon. Yes,--truly great with the PSE!

    Re: Blue Pics

    Then (1977)...

    Re: Blue Pics

    ...now--2006

    Re: Blue Pics

    Awesome pics Dan! I love the comparison of 1977/2006... the car is stunning, and so is the Matterhorn... majestic!

    Re: Blue Pics

    Splendid story ! Thanks for sharing.

    Re: Blue Pics

    Very nice photos Dan - thanks for sharing.

    I especially like the mountain views. Simply awe-inspiring!

    I love the way your turquoise blends with the dark blue roof colour you've picked. Very tasteful blend.

    Yes, I like the way you've retraced your steps (1977 and 2006). It's the little sentimental things we do that often mean the most.

    Re: Blue Pics

    Fantastic Dan! Thanks for the pics in the alps. Always a great backdrop! Like the "Then and Now" pic too!

    Re: Blue Pics

    WOW
    THANKS for the pics Dan

    Re: Blue Pics

    Man, that is a beautiful car! Although i just picked up my new C2S coupe 2 weeks ago, my dealer wants me to decide on a color for the 997TT - and after seeing yours I'm thinking hard about spec'ing a custom color. I'm very partial to the lighter non-metallic shades that VW and Audi are currently using - and I think your car is natural brown, right?

    ...just gorgeous!

    Re: Blue Pics

    WoW, congrats for that perfect combination, it is absolutely stunning, love that exterior colour, and those wheels.....

    I think those pics dont do justice the beauty of the car

    I really love that comparison pic

    Re: Blue Pics

    Beautiful, the more I see it the more I like it. You picked out the perfect wheels for that combo. I love the picture overlooking the top of the car. Enjoy

    Re: Blue Pics

    My wife wants your colour! I am stuffed! No offense to the colour but it won't suit me! But this could mean we get two P cars : )

    My last two cars have been Basalt and before that was midnight blue before that I was on Artic Silver!

    What is the exact colour? Or is it match to sample....

    Also, what colour is the top? Black or blue?

    The natural brown leather is soft, feels great, and significantly more durable than I thought it would be. This color was a standard color for the 993 autos in 1996 and 1997, although I believe they only imported (to the USA) about 12 in this color. I learned subsequently that Jerry Seinfeld has a 993 Turbo S this color that he has up for sale.

    Re: Blue Pics

    Don,
    Nice.
    Hey question - With the optional leather seat backs on the sport/adaptive seats is that a stitch that runs along the whole back of the seat? Is there anyway you could take some close up pics?

    Will check that out closer and post. As a $1600 plus option most just either paint the rears to match the exterior color or go with the plastic stuff.
