Did you find this on the internet or did you see this in person? Do you have any details so I can add it to my PTS spreadsheet?

I'm happy to report that I took delivery of my Oslo Blue Spyder the other day. Oslo Blue is a color I've drooled over for years but had never seen it in person. I never thought I'd get the chance to build a car in that color myself but it is phenomenal in person and I couldn't be happier with the choice. I've only driven it 3 times but have gotten compliments about the color from random strangers each time out.

I have to say thank you to my SA and the GM at Park Place Porsche for getting me the allocation and coaching me through the process. They made me a deal that was more than fair, worked very hard to earn my business and make sure I was satisfied and overall, it was a great experience. Here are a few crappy iphone pics in different light.

That is gorgeous. Very understated blue with tremendous character and history. That's also my favorite blue. My heart skipped a beat the first time I saw it. Thanks for sharing.

I've never seen this color in person but from the pictures, it seems like a darker version of Miami Blue as it seems to have some green in it like a darker teal.

Thanks for all the compliments. It truly is a stunning color and it's kind of mesmerizing when you look at it. I'll take some additional sun pics next time it's out. To those of you who have something incoming in Oslo, you won't be disappointed! Congratulations!

Definitely quite a bit darker than MB but to my eyes, Oslo doesn't have any green to it but does have a grey tone in there. Oslo also doesn't seem to change in different light/conditions like MB does.

Like I said, I'll try to get some additional sun pics but in the meantime, here are a few more garage pics under flourescent lights. Thanks again.
