Default Pictures of some interesting colors etc.

Here are a few pics of some 997 I saw at the factory last week. Most were in the employee lot, wonder what kind of deal they get on these? . What color is the blue one? Mexico? The black one had deviated red stitching and looked tight.
Check out the sticker on a new 997S/Tip/Coupe in Euro's. WOW.

I thought about a lot of different options for my car, but pumpkin orange wheels was not one.

I agree. I think those pumpkin wheels are a little much. I like those painted backs on your car! Also, I saw Macadamia in person and looks great! Nice Ride!

Looks like you may have captured the first pics of the new Aqua Blue Metallic.
I don't recognize that shade.

Thanks for posting those.

Factory personnel get their cars half off.

That aqua blue looks like the BMW color introduced on the Z roadster for the Bond movie several years ago. Its a nice color for a cabriolet.

That 110,000 euro sticker translates to $172K so at half off they're still paying close to what we pay. Nicely compensated factory personnel. Wonder how many Vipers sit in the Dodge employee parking lot?

The guy with the black C4S with GT3RS wheels and PSE has the right idea. How about those deviated headlight washers!

Hmmmm.....................

For those dermatologists out there, tell me that's not a pyogenic granuloma - that needs to be lasered off.

I believe those are Carrera Sport wheels, not GT3RS. I agree however--nice car nonetheless.

My currency converter hit $173,000.USD like Sandwedge.. Outstanding! This may become like small planes a number of years ago where ads for low-time singles were better off placed in Euro papers. Hell, the Aussies were lurking around this area a few years ago and peeled the wings off a cherry Comanche. It got a cheap container ride back to OZ.

I believe that's Mirage. One of my all time favorite colors.

Could be Mirage. Also could be Champagne Metallic.
