That's not Iris Blue is it? if so, it's a twin to mine, down to the light grey/black interior...

Caraquet is in northern New Brunswick near the Quebec border IIRC.

Very nice, I love the classic grey/light grey interior. I had it on my last cab. Is the car a 92?

I love how the dash is so clean, it reflects PERFECTLY off the windshield.

Nice car!

Thank's for the responde to my 968, a little infos about the car ---1993 ---78,600 kls---int color is the same as your's JPK but exterior is (AMAZONE GREEN) very hard to define since it will change color depending on the ligth reflextion (thus the iris bleu color).Suspension are ajustable struts with bilstein insert front--- rear are bilstein sport shocks. Springs rate I don't realy know since I can't get hold of the original owner who set it up (# ON them is Porsche 968 VA ---29875 VA , anyboby has an idea what they are?) Wheels are Cup 17x8 front---17x9 rear. I'm riding on FALKEN 452 225-45 frt, & 255-40 zr rear.I'm just getting familiar with the car but until now I love it,and been waiting for a long time for the rigth one to come along.To answer your ? Bleu 44, Caraquet is north -east of NEW-Brunswick on the gulf of St-Lawrence.

7.5" Miles were the stock front 17" option size, both Cup 1 and Cup 2.
