Repost, but certainly worth another watch. Well actually that would be my third time since I saw it again on Top Gear monday night.

Ultimate Spec series, every car can be bought from each competitor for 1500$, they have to sell it to the fellow competitor in the series...that would keep them even for sure...great vid, thx for sharing.

You're welcome. It's a terrible color, especially for a car that sees as much track duty as mine. Worse still when it's on top of white fiberglass.

I've had two paint jobs so far, and you'll notice that as time passes there are more telephoto lens pictures and shots taken from behind, so that the sandblasting on the leading-edge surfaces is less apparent.

But there's no color that's more 'classic' for a beautifully-designed car like the 911, at least to my eyes.



Now back to your regularly-scheduled programming...
