New pics of my 997 S (I hope!)
I bought a nicely optioned 997 S off the showroom floor the other day for $10K off of MSRP. I am very pleased so far. I am trying to attach pictures, but they are too large. I will try again later. These are the options on the car.
2006 997 S, Speed Yellow
Black Interior
Sport Seats
Self-dimming Mirrors
Heated Front Seats
Wheel Caps with Colored Porsche Crest
Sport Chrono Package Plus
Bose High End Sound Package
PSE

Sport Seat Backs Painted Speed Yellow
Speed Yellow Seat Belts
Aluminum Foot Rest

While I appreciated the sentiment, I'm pretty sure the belts are just good old yellow. Does the paperwork really say "Speed Yellow" for the belts?
The idea of yellow seat backs in a 911 is indelibly recorded in my memory (until the Cabernet washes it away) with the "Sunflower" posters of the 993RS. I could see myself getting a 997RS in the same motif.
And $10K off list for an SY car with no frou frou stuff seems like a bloody steal. Nicely done.

Yes, it really does say "Seat Belts-Speed Yellow" on the window sticker. I couldn't remember all the options so I transcribed it when I did the above post.
Thanks for all the congratulations. I feel really good about this purchase. I have nice pics of it in my camera, but I can't get the site to accept them using the attachment option. The pics are 800 to 913 mB(?) in size and I am being told by the computer that the pics are too large. Can someone direct me to some assistance for this?
Thanks, again.

I had the same problem.
OCBen'ssuggestion worked well. Here it is:
"If you're using Windows, there is no easier and better pic resizing tool than the freebie, Microsoft Paint.
1. Right mouse click the file and select Open with Microsoft Paint.
2. Click on Image and select Stretch/Skew from the menu.
3. In the Stretch box just select the percentage reduction you want. Just make sure Horizontal & Vertical values are the same.
4. If the amount is not right, just Undo (Cntrl Z) and select again.
5. Do a File Save As with a different name to preserve your original file."
Good luck.

I see the order guide does show name of the colour -- I'd forgotten.
As for photos, just Google for "free photo sharing site" and take your pick. flickr.com is popular but I know there's one that bigger, I just can't think of it right now.
