As you can see by my color choice, I also think p-cars should be fun...

Can't go wrong with the blues: Riviera or Mexico blue is what I will go for on my next car...

Regards,

T.

Mexico Blue is great I went with Azzurro California Blue. Love it.
Signal Yellow is great if you have to settle for any color other than Blue. The best color. All other colors may as well be black and silver no need to be bold just blend on with the other Hondas and Toyotas.

I would think pastel yellow with the blue top and leather would look good. That is, if they still offer it. I think it was called "sea blue".

Macadamia with brown top and tan leather would be classy looking.

Silver with red or white with red interior is one of my favorites for a convertible car.

But I agree that you've got to really love the color if you're getting a flashy one.

Just giving credit where it is due.

That blue is just right on the 911 especially with the aerokit and the vinyl bits. 991 what? Well played.

PY with sea blue sounds interesting. It's not what I'd think of first, although I have seen some beautiful vintage cars that are a very light yellow with red leather interior.
I think I'm leaning toward silver with red. White with red is a bit more striking but I am generally just tired of seeing so many darned white cars on the road. Seems like 60% of cars on the road, in the Southwest anyway, are white.

Riviera Blue or Fountain Blue. I love speed yellow, but the pastel is not for me.
