Had a 'mooch' around my 'local' this afternoon, and was overwhelmed by a bright orange 997 C2S.

Wow, what a car, what a colour!
I'm in serious temptation.........

Even the transmission tunnel trim was orange, as was the lettering on the ss sill guards.

I'm in

(the lovely Scottish receptionist wasn't bad either )

That car was at Guildford for a bit, before it was at reading. Seems to be doing the rounds, no one is brave enough to buy it!!!

Was this the car at the Porsche Festival of Speed in the Porsche marquee.........

I'd love to get my hands on it, but never saw it again

its a Porsche promo car, hence doing the rounds at all the Porsche-owned OPCs, also bit of a showcase for Poresche's Tequipment / colour to sample options

as you would expect the spec is very high and I think its a great-looking car, but would want a massive discount to be brave enough to buy it as it would be so hard to sell on (without a discount also). I am sure lots on here will say the love the colour but how many would actually put their money where their mouth is and buy it?

trouble is it is so noticeable it implies a "look-at-me, look at my Porsche" personality driving it which jealous scum react to; and I live in London and park on street - so subtle is better

maybe it appeals to a rich punter who doesn't give a stuff about what people think, won't leave it parked anywhere and is not worried about depreciation. If that was me (and I wish it was) then I would buy a new orange car with my exact spec rather than this car.
