That's got to be the most beautiful 964 I've ever seen.
Congratulations, Shamus. Great buy.

Indeed - Italian reps. Picked them up quickly to get the D90's off the car. I plan on grabbing some Fikse FM10's or some such in the future.

Looking good Shamus! My favorite colour! Whilst your sliding down the slippery slope of mods, don't forget the Aero mirrors!!!

THAT is one beautiful car!

I'm glad it found a loving home.

After reading your narrative, I must now go out to the garage and drown my D90 shame in (more) beer...

Just goes to show that uncommon colours sell. How many times I've heard people selected a ''safe'' colour so that's an easy resale. Ha! tell that to all the black grey and silver 996 and 997 owners. No premium for those colours and lots of selection.

I guess I like this blue colour

If it WAS me, then you just made my day. Of course, now that I think of it, I did slow down a bit to gawk at a pristine Fly Yellow turbo - your's right?

As a side note, I had to double back a few months ago when I saw your tangerine car parked out by Appleby's near the parkway. Beautiful car and quite the history too, I ran into Barrett and talked with him about that car some time back.

Nice car... I ran outside Trudels deli trying to get your attention... If you are ever in Salem I would love to get a shot of it next to my RS....PM me...

That was me by Applebees, I own that Starbucks Center there...

Small world and I love that car...

I'll PM you
