60 cars? Woa!

I see now why it would make sense to have the Euro928 2004 gathering in GB

brett,

that 4th car in the line up is 'tahoe blue', lovely colour isnt it? i met the owner who tells me that there are only two 928s here in the uk in this colour. i was thinking a lot of this colour while deciding what to do with my 86 and its re-paint, am going for orange though! for better or worse... we will see..

Now, now, Orange can be very nice if its the right shade. Plus, England doesn't have that problem of orange or yellow being a "cab" color. I know my day would have been brightened if I saw an orange 928 driving past Regents Park (if I'm thinking of the right place).

Default I agree

Orange is a great color on a sports car. I don't think that there will be too much chance someone would mistake a 928 for a cab anyway. Too bad it has high visibility and has been taken over by construction vehicles. Kudos on the color choice. When I repaint mine I will definitely consider orange or yellow.

I agree that 928's will rarely be mistaken for cabs, but you have to aagree that car companies have gotten a little happy with that that canary yellow on otherwise basic sedans...the Chevy dealership by my house looks like a taxi company.
