Does the roof have some sort of cover for it, or does it go down anymore? Or is that how it always sits when its retracted?

Maybe a little tweaking with colors will help.

Wow, what a neat color combo! Looks more aqua than green, to me over here in Europe.
Interior looks to be Classic Gray, right?
Re the wheels, how do they ride? 18" is a bit big for these early cabs, IMHO. The M030 package Cup1 17"ers were mainly used on coupés and those already feel a bit harsh over uneven pavement in a cab.
So, is this a turbo convo prospect, or you just like posting about it in 951 company?

Thanks guys. So far the plan is to keep the cabriolet NA. The chassis is compromised so I am not sure how much more power it can handle. I have plan to ghet to atleast 270 engine hp with NA mods. The 18's do make for a stiff ride and add quite a bit of unsprung weight. I am still keeping an eye out for 17's that are light weight or go with porsche leightweight 18's. Still too early to decide.
As far as bigger brakes, if I do go with 6 piston calipers on the turbo, I will move the big reds to the cabriolet then.
I do miss my turbo as well. It should be complete soon and better than before. Head is at Jon Milledge, changing compressor on the GT3076R and as you know the list goes on and on..
I gues you guys are not seeing the right color, time to get a new digital camera.
Regards.

Raj,
I agree that the color isn't coming out right. It might be one of those colors that unless you have the bazillion pixel camera, and gazillion pixel monitor you can't see right. I have never seen your car, but I saw a Riviera Blue 996 at our dealership it it appeared more blue than your pictures. Here are a few I came across with a quick search and you can say if anyone match the car better.
Wes
P.S. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Raj,
your cars look just fantastic![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I noticed there is no snow in NJ. Do you usually have it by christmas? We have a same thing here in southern Finland; no snow at all

Thanks Oli.
Yes, we are in the middle of a very warm winter. So far, so signs of snow and there have been yrs when we had snow for Christmas. I guess its global warming at work. We have had much higher than normal temps this yr. I am sure we will eventually get some snow storms. I am surprised about you guys not having snow though. I would expect it to snow atleast 6 mnths in a yr.
BTW, I am very impressed with your country's drivers, possibly the best crop of F1 drivers along with Germany. Will be interesting to see how Heiki does.
Regards.
