Thanks Max, you're the man! Duh on me. Yes, my computer was in the classic setting. I just raised the pixel size and now everything is much smaller, but I don't have to scroll like a madman. Time to get some reading glasses though Eeeh gads this is all so small now! I might have to tweek this size a bit. Gosh, where were you years ago when I needed you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I feel like a new man, reading entire posts without wearing out my mouse or my brain. What a concept!

Thanks again - you changed my life,
Steve

glad you now have the power Steve!!! <img border="0" alt="[king]" title="" src="graemlins/r.gif" /> and thanks to Melissa, I too have learned something today . I feel like posting a huge picture of my WHITE SC to help you celebrate, but do not have one available, and a pic of my Arctic Silver 2S would be off-topic on this 'white' thread <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> later, MAX <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />

Whenever I read the British car magazines they always seem to be fixated on the colour of the car.

I read that arena red is frowned upon and white and they also say when buying a car make sure it's a good colour.

They say the arena red is "naf" whatever that means.

I always thought that was peculiar.

Boy what a thread from such a simple question. And by the way - there's nothing wrong with the spelling of "colour"

On the West Coast it was difficult to find my white C4. Of the colors that were readily available black is difficult to maintain, silver is quite common, and red attracts the eyes of the local law enforcement. I personally enjoy the stealth look as I drive 'spiritedly' on the freeway and it was the factory race color!

Cheers, Brad

White is the Ultimate Anti Law Enforcement Color.

And with a fresh coat or 6 of Zaino and it looks AWESOME...Best Regards

I was looking at a pricing service and it actually gave a premium for White.

I do not like white on most cars but changed my mind about the 993 when I saw a white 993TT with a black interior a few months ago.

Then I saw the car I am interested in. It looked incredible in the sun. The black interior was a great contrast.

Message to Mark O,
