Talking Midnight Blue Pictures Wanted

I've visited the dealer sites on Porsche.com and was disappointed at the quality of the pics I found there.

I was hoping some people (especially 997 owners) had pics of their 997 (997s Cabriolet preferred, but any okay) that they wouldn't mind sharing with me?

I've ordered a C4s Cabriolet in midnight blue (black interior and black top) and I'm trying to print out some 4x6 pics on my ink jet printer and put them up on my wall during my long wait (due in March 2006).

Great pics of other colors are apprecaited too as this car looks great in just about any color (except Mexico Blue <g>).

Ron

P.M. me for e-mail address if you don't want to post

Since you are getting a Cab, I would highly recommend the beige interior or natural brown with the midnight blue.

If Porsches (the colors) looked ANYTHING like they do on the Porsche web site they'd be the ugliest cars in the Universe! At least all the colors on my three monitors at home are drab, dull, washed out, FUGLY things to look at.
I did a quick search on Porsche and Midnight Blue and found these sites, hope they help:

Never, I love black interiors. If it is up to me, I'll never own a car that doesn't have a black interior again.

Thanks! I found a few that look a bit better than those on the Porsche web site.

What I've found though is that Midnight Blue is a hard color to photograph properly.

I opened your image outside of the forum though and see that it is a larger version of your avitar -- cool thanks!

It looks black (I've seen other pics of Midnight Blue that make it look black too).

Funny, now I'm seeing the 997 picture in both posts. That is really odd that I was seeing the viper club logo before this! :-)

Here are some pictures of my wife at a track day with our Midnight Blue cab. In the picture with two 997s, the car just to the left, IIRC is Atlas Gray.

This is cool -- thanks!

If you have any more pics, I'd love to see them.

Thanks!

BTW, I'm in the Seattle area too.
