Thanks. I am not much of a photographer. Just someone that lusts over the 928 for 40 years and pretty much has seen many great pics of the beast.

That is a lovely 928.

Want to meet in Kansas and swap for a summer?
Otto,
Your blue one is likely the best 86.5 in this country. I still kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance. You got yourself a killer example. The real Cup 1 are still impossible to find. The ones that you saw are likely Borbet replicas. I too was looking for them for ages and finally decided to just buy one by one and eventually got a set of 6 wheels.

Your car is right up there with the best looking 928s. I was drooling over your car at SITP 2014. I am thinking about adding Aero mirrors just like yours but just cannot bear paying extra hundreds for the mirror glasses. I took the picture, not the best angle but one can see how inspiring it is.

Thanks Steve. We had a great time at SITP 2014. Rocket has made appearances coast to coast. You will have to bring that beauty out to 3rd Coast

Steve: Your burgundy 928 is ridiculously beautiful! Too bad I didn't get to see it when you were at SITP.

I just have to copy everyone else and say you have a great car there. The trouble with the 928's is how good they look when there as nice as yours we want them all,I think they will keep there looks for many years. Like happy motoring everyone.

Was out in the Bay area last year with the wife. Met with Steve and after a few moments he threw me the keys. Drove it on the coastline for a bit and did not want to give it back Steve your GR looks superb with those Cup 1's and no rubstrips T

Tony,
The other Garnet Red shown in that pic belongs to Vanster. Mine has Cup I wheels.

WhiteNSXs, Vanster & Supercedar all had about the finest 86.5 cars you could ever want. To see all 3 at once at Sharks in the Park was a real treat.
Thanks for bringing them!
