Attached are a few pictures of my Dad's (DHinkle) 1988 Club Sport. The only one in Gulf-Blue.

Also, a few pictures of our old white one.

Very cool - can you explain how a blue one escaped the factory? The only colour other than white that I've seen is a black one but the blue looks great - very subtle.

I believe it was ordered by the original owner to replicate the 917. (See the redish interior and wood shift ****, and the obvious color . . )

Are you still playing Forza2, or have you moved onto Grid?
I quit playing with you because I hate to come in last all the time.
JK, I hardly play anything other than GTA4 right now.
Comet FTW!

Yes, still playing FM2. I do have GRID too, as well as GTA4.

Do you still have LIVE? Never see you on.

Yes I still have live. I may have dropped your name off my FL to make room for people I play with more often. I joined a group of guys called Dadsofgaming. Hit me up with another FR Ill put you back on...I am not sure I remember your tag...ConnerGT3? Mine is still flat6nut.

I dont think anyone else in here plays video games.









This post made me want to play some F2.

Also, make a good A-class car. Do you have all the new car packs and tracks as well? Might wanna look into them too.

I think the CS's in the UK were almost always White (with Red trim), but US-spec cars were offered in any color (for a price)...

I love the Gulf Blue and was also very fond of an Irish Green one I saw

Yes I have all the latest downloads. I also have tons of "A" class cars, but I am way out of practice.

Very cool !!

I checked out a yellow club sport in the Bob Ingram collection last year(photos were not permitted).

I think it only had a few thousand miles on it.

"photos were not permitted"
That blows. I get that if it is for security purposes, such as not wanting to conceal the VIn, or whatever someone might consider a security risk, but a basic photo of the car....
c'mon man. It is afterall, just a car. it is on display, hence it is for others to view and enjoy. What better/other way for those of us unable to physically visit the collection to also take part ?

Or.... does it make the car all that more valuable; having had fewer people drool and gaze upon it.
