Doing fine. Back in CONUS for a while. I have a blown HG, so I'm going to be tearing into the motor this coming week. No biggie, I hope. I have a new head with some porting etc, to put on the car.

yes, but linen is basically white with just a faint hint of beige, if that makes any sense.
Champagne and Cashmere are the same color. Greg's car is that color. The dye he used was SEM Palomino. It's a perfect match for Champagne/Cashmere. I did the same. My old 86 was black/champignon.
I'm going to guess that the similarity in the two names is what made Porsche change "champaign" to "cashmere".

I can understand why porsche used the french word for mushroom -- the German word for it doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
So I guess a more apt rephrase to my original question should be: "did 968's come in champignon/black?"

I've never seen one, BUT....
I guess one could have been ordered that way. Check Clarks-garage. The GSM has a section with codes. It may be in that info. Also post to the 968 board.
I went to cashmere because it very closely resemble both Ferrari and Astin Martin's old leather and current leather interiors. BTW, I died black panels with SEM and it looks as good as Greg's. I will some day send it all for leather.
