Is it just me or has anybody else never seen that color on a ti before?

[teetime4one]

I've seen it. It's a rare car with a rare color. lol

Here is an example

what's the official color name?

Thanks for posting this...i like.

I'm in travel right now, interested. Any chance a local could drive by it? If i've learned anything shopping for ti's it is that dealers sure know how to stage some photos.

I can do my best to make it worthwhile.

If not i‘ll probably hold off, risky risky just talking to the dealers.

I bit all over this! I'm hoping it shows up.

Call me stupid, but I bought that shat sight unseen, set up shipping and am awaiting pickup.....I need medication for the anxiety, trust me. Hopefully we will see what I got into next Friday-Sunday, from what I'm told.

Shellback, I owe you a beer when you are in Seattle. I'm not paying to ship you here though.....big-up's! Been looking since March. Wouldn't have seen it if you didn't post here. Dealership seemed good to deal with, so far, of course it is still sitting on their lot.

Wasn't going to even post till it got here because of Jinx, but I can't keep it in anymore.

Post photos when you can. This would have been my choice, too. Found a California Roof in Virginia this month.

Congrats on the purchase, Bradestar! Pics. and details when you receive it!

[BRADESTAR]

Indeed, indeed. WolferJ ran it earlier today. Cool color.

Showed up last night in the dark 5 blocks away. Jogged there....

This one is pretty special gents. Looks pretty tight. Worth the wait and search. I feel very fortunate.

I've gotta go to the tutorials on posting pic's. You'll see plenty of this car...

I called the dealership and talked to Mike about the car. He stated that a window had been broken by a rock that flew out from under his landscapers mower. what kind of bad luck is that? lol
He went on to say that this car was very well maintained and ready for driving. I'm a little jealous. But, glad to see it went to a good home.
Congratulations on the new purchase.

HINT: I upload pics to photobucket and paste them in the message. That way it is a full size picture and not a thumbnail.

[BRADESTAR]

thank you for the congrats. It does feel good to not have the urge to look at Craigslist every 6 hours.

Congrats to you R1326, hope that is a goodin as well.

I talked to Mike they day after Shellback posted this and he told me the same story of the broken window. The Carfax showed two owners the most recent owned it since 1998 (15k miles, now 157K) and Mike said it was turned into a Porsche dealership. I asked him if it had cruise control and a key fob and that was enough for me to take the risk.

Mike was a pleasure to talk to and deal with throughout. I would easily do business with them again. Great price, great experience, good dude. They didn't hose down engine bay and car arrived with original manuals and original purchase paperwork.

It Definitely seems turn key. Carfax had a lot of maintenance on it, which I hadn't seen before. The interior has to be a 9 and engine compartment and underneath is bone dry. Looks like new radiator, haven't checked the plastic pieces yet. No evidence of ever overheating in the engine bay. Took a pretty good rain last night and no leaks! Have pic's and will figure how to post soon.

I couldn't be more pleased with how everything went down. I very much look forward to being an active member on this forum as I have a lot to learn about these rigs and don't have much of a life (do BMW's change that?).

As this is the first forum I've been active on, I have to learn about posting things.

So like Tupac said...until we meet again, close your eyes, lean your head back....and picture me rolling! (without the pics for now)

I haven't put much miles on it. Busy, busy. Got it in the garage that I've been building all summer long.

It's a goodin. We'll see where it leads.
