Looks fantastic!!! Thanks! I think Edgy1 is the guy who resurrected Turquoise, its a beautiful color (better than Riviera or Mexico which I also like). I am changing my thinking about my 356 and starting to lean towards a blue (vs. Speedster Red) when I repaint, and in the future maybe a blue 911).

Thanks Dan; some guys have all the luck!

Everything you told me about this color has materialized to my eyes. I love it more every day and it was well worth the agonizing wait.

Thanks for the kind words! Dan is the man

When Porsche denied my original color (Champagne yellow) after about a 3 month wait I was disgusted





Then I started looking for all of the old Porsche colors and really couldn't find anything that really moved me until I saw Jerry Seinfeld's 993 Turbo and I really liked that but I wasn't sure.

I was starting to consider either Guards Red and then Atlas Grey and while my wife and i liked those colors it wasn't love like I felt about Champagne Yellow. I was also tired of the standard 911 colors coming off a Arctic Silver even with a custom leather old Porsche interior of Lipstick Red (which I loved soooo much):





And then somewhere (on another Forum I think) I saw Dan's and I got excited but worried too. I had never had a car that bright except for an orange MG Midget back in the day and i did love that color. I was worried that if I ordered it and didn't like it then what. My wife loved it and in the end I loved it too (she has great taste that I have come to respect over the years as evidenced by her choice in husbands)

I then e-mailed Dan and he told me how much he loved the color combo of Turquiose Blue and Natural Brown. The interior too was a tough choice as i was tempted to go conservative with the Black but again the more I looked at Dan's car the more I liked Natural Brown (and i had it on a 2001 Midnight Blue C4S Cab as well) so there we have it!

I also felt a little guilty picking Dan's car to replicate exactly as he had the nerve and the guts to put those colors together but once we communicated he made me feel both comfortable with stealing his color and comfortable with the color choice. There was also a guy my salesman knew who had a Turquiose Blue 993 and he let me see it in the flesh and it blew me away (this was after i ordered it and about a few months before it arrived).

For business reasons I leased the car but at this point I don't see how I'll ever let her go so I'll probably be buying her at the end of the lease unless my accountant twists my arm! She gives me a thrill everyday I even look at her never mind drive her.

I'm appreciative of Dan's generosity and my wife's encouragement and taste every day and that's the way it worked for me.

Best,

Tom

Those pictures are fabulous, you have a cute ride - and you're putting a 4S to use correctly, snow or shine. I passed on getting winter tires to avoid driving my rear wheel drive in snow, but it's been so depressing, I've actually run it out once temps were above 35F. I'm strongly considering getting snow tires and damning the "never driven in snow" line...

Thanks! Love the Blues

Thanks! Get those snows and start driving. I've heard even the C2s with snows are good but can't vouch for that. The C4 is a dream in snow!
