I have to admit they were both accidentally that colour, but I wouldn't have it if I didn't like it. It isn't exactly common this side of the pond either but there are always a few at any meet. My cab is for sale now though.

I didn't count at Frontrunner but we must have had 50-70 cars, 80% at least 944s.

Fen.. VERY nice.. The turbo looks great with the 968 wing, very very clean. The steering wheel is on the other side from mine. I've still got my factory wheels, (until spring) my windows were tinted by the PO, but otherwise, we're twins!

I do like those Saratoga tops - never seen one for real though since they may be rare among you guys but they're non-existent over here.

My Turbo has had a few more tweaks since that picture; teardrop mirrors and cooling slots were good, drunk neighbour breaking off the rear wing you like (standard fit on my car BTW) and knocking a hole in the sump (oil pan) were less good.

It's been apart for a looooooong time now but very soon it should be back together. In the meantime the leather is gone along with the rear wiper, central locking, electric mirrors, power windows, hatch release, air con and (hopefully) power steering. Here's another pic as it was just before I broke the engine:

That would be a 944 NA in Spain. Unfortunately, it's not a stock finish but rather an aftermarket paint job. Car was originally a different color.
