Default My 'new' Carrera Cab arrived....

Well, I found my Guards Red 95 Carrera 2 Cabriolet a month ago in D.C. and just got it home this week. I wanted to get a few quick pics before it gets stored away for the long cold Minnesota winter. I'm no photographer but here are a few pics taken along the trail to the lake.

I hope to do a few things over the winter to get it just so for next summer including repainting the calipers in red, adding a steering wheel badge and hopefully a set of MO30 springs to lower the suspension a bit.

I'm looking forward to spring already.

While it's a cool thing, I _strongly_ recommend not to lower the roof in temps below about 45-50F. That is if you value your rear plastic window. I believe you'll read the same in the car's manual.

Good point~ Thanks! I lowered it while in the garage, but the garage is only set at 50 degrees. I'll definitely be cautious of this in the future though. Normally the car will never be driven in snow, just wanted a few pics and didn't have the patience to wait til May.

Congrats! Great color, but I'm biased.

I happen to like 993 in snow. With good winter tires and surprisingly decent balance it's a lot of fun and very controllable.

Like your last shot in the woods. Very Yeti-like
