Dunkelblau~
Not sure that it is the pallette I would've opted for if I were visiting the dealership, but it is not a pairing that I've seen before.

OK, so lame poll on my part..

I suppose the informative social-study would be to correlate the color of the cars owned by the respondents to see if there is a yes/no curve between classic color owners and others. Not that there is much data to form the curve.

I don't understand what you are trying to measure. Is it to correlate owners and their personalities with the color of their cars?

Me? I like the off colors.

Original post, I was curious about the response to the particular combination pictured.

Second post, I was just meandering along the lines you state. Not exactly personalities, but the extent to which the people that prefer the classic red/black/silver/(white) would have an averse reaction to one that is markedly different. It was just a notion/figment.

I'm not going to try to take us over to another 'best color' thread though, there's one in circulation now!

More like you ARE and I too like unusual colors on a 928; Red, silver, white, and black are boring. Nothing like a good cockney braun to get you going in the morning....

I agree, unusual colors are more interesting and worth paying a little more to buy.

Duly noted, Jim Bailey is a fan of bran.

Thanks for posting about your new pursuits by the way, it's fun to follow along!
I am fighting the inclination to start a rennlist movement to hijack your handle and change it "Hollywood".
Top Gun is the same era as Risky Business, more or less...

Sure wish that Blau car above was a Euro.
