LOL - even the beautiful 993 turbo has an oil leak. Check out the spots on the concrete where he parks it! Its also funny that hes parked ON a red curb. Probably perfectly legal as long as hes not NEXT to the red curb. Something tells me that I could not pull that off without a ticket.

I like the car, but the wheels don't look good. If he woudl've gone with a set of nice silver, gulf, or orange wheels, it would look a lot better..

All gulf??? It is the vintage Gulf Racing colors, which were blue and orange. Seperating the colors just makes it a washed-out blue...nothing to do with "Gulf".

cab&coupe:
That's what I'm talking about! All gulf blue. Wicked.

Sure the gulf schema with stripes etc looks great, just not as great on the 911 as original.

In my opinion it's awesome and the fact that someone had ***** to paint so rare car with Gulf colors is cool!

Here's how I see things:

Most of the people are always: "what happens to the re-sale value?", "what if other people don't like it?", "what do my neighbours think?, "how about my boss?", "my wife?", "Rennlisters?", "my dog?"

**** all that, everyone should do with their car exactly what they want and they think is cool.

IMO the fact that this guy did exactly that makes it cool no matter how it looks.

"cool is how much you are about what you are about"

I've always been fanatical about the Gulf Oil livery scheme. It might be a bit much to drive around town, though. Also, don't like the painted bumperettes.
