Default Latest pics

Latest pics of the car. I took it to a 1st at Heartland on Sunday. Very satisfying after a very difficult 2009 and a lot of hard work.

I am not impressed with powder coated wheels, I will never do it again. It mars, it flakes, it chips, it's expensive and look poor (IMO).

As far as I know, it was only offered on the 951 in 1988... It's a very dark metallic green
I have seen also 944 & 944S in Nile Green.

Love the look of your car Richard. Those wheels never stop looking great. Should help in cooling brakes too.
Still my favourite pics of a Green 951 at speed!!

Yes I know it's not Nile Green but felt it worthy of a repost.

No, but it would be completely incorrect. They aren't the same color. THIS is BRG.

That is probably the best picture of a 951 I have seen. It reminds me of the animated movie “Cars” with the wheels flying over the asphalt and showing lots of negative camber.
