Cactizz-- Regarding that fine silver ride: After pix of this 993 TT Speedster I looked at + its magazine features, I'll share ~15 photos in different settings of your non-TT's sister, from the same after-market limited-production run. You & Mike should like.

Mike-- Hard to go wrong with silver. However, as many dozens of hours as I've "invested" in trying to find 993 Speedsters & pix, I've never found a Guards Red example. Very ironic considering that was probably the most common color of 1989 & 1994 Speedsters. If anyone beats me to GR 993 photos, please share. Same if anybody has any experience with the Gemballa 'stealth' intercoolers. I talked to Gem North America years ago, who simply said they don't perform that installation anymore. I still would luv to learn more about it, like other exotic 993s.

You personally may appreciae: I have a possible lead on a blue 993 Speedster here in the USA. IIRC, it's an after-market conversion. I'll go re-contact my POC, but he's not the owner. I don't know what shade of blue it is, but would be a hoot if it turns out to be Riviera!

Mike-- You got it. Plus, would be great to have a topless Rivi blue addition to this thread.

Been trying to get more details for a year, though, so don't hold your breath (insert joke about turning blue here).

Default ... est parti d'une caisse de turbo entièrement nue ce qui lui a facilité travail

The words are as fun as the pix -- three web translations of the above French caption.

"The owner left a cash register of completely nude turbo, which facilitated his work."
"He left a box of turbo fully nude, which has facilitated the work."
"The owner left a turbo case entirely naked, which facilitated work to him."
Regardless what language, Turbo Speedsters bring naked work, & sometimes cash registers!

Maybe 911 & Porsche World's version's as fun in French?
964-model Speedsters had light-weight & rather spartan interiors, but this is pure, ultra-sophisticated, 993-model 911 Turbo.

Hey freeloader, if I'm gonna interrupt the captivating tale (or so I thought) of this Turbo-4 Speedster that a RLer (me!) had his hands on, sharing special-ordered, discontinued foreign language magazines with her as the cover model, can't you pitch in & find one 993 Speedster photo that's Cactuswagen-colored first? Gyeesh. Think you'd wanna see how the Cactizzle-Mobizzle would look as a Speedster. LOL

Since you'll spend more time coloring the silver one red to post that as your 1 photo, I'm on the case. I hope to have topless red-heads to share soon. In the meantime, please rev up your search engine & help out.

Ironically, Marcus Buehler sent me photos of it yesterday; we've conversed & I've infected him with the bug. Although he has a 997 GT3RS, he says a red 993 Speedster's his dreamcar. (Hmmm, ya think his might have carbon fiber? )

Default ...because he's very "special"

Find Cactus' fave amongst other cool cars in his garage.
Hint: it's not the grocery cart

Talking "RL" = "Ryan's List" -- it's all about Cactus!

Pretty impressive. I was wondering how long 'til you saw that Smurfy ride!

Signed,
Speedster Freak

PS We have yet to really dig into my 993 Speedster photo & info collection!
However, no Guards Red photos so far. Anyone?

Vere nice. Those look to be GT2 spec, magnesium centred, Speedlines on the silver Speedster.
