I really liked the "rally" 911 SC. The current owner bought it from some guy in California who did the customizations. The Cali guy bought an old '81 SC then threw a ton of money at it and souped it up into the Singer-esque custom job that it is now. Gorgeous car.
 
Porsche's make me all tingly in my boy parts. Porsche GT-3 RS's give me "See a doctor if your condition last for more than four hours..." wood.

I have to start taking pics of the cars around here. There are a lot of exotic cars driving around this place, plus a fair amount of not so exotic but impossible to get in the US vehicles.

You and a few of the other car fans would love it here. Renault Clio V6 R homologation specials, Renault Megane R hot hatches, golf R 350s, and quite a few other rare cars that only gear heads would recognize are not uncommon. There is a car with Basel land license plates with a Ford Escort RS200. This place is full of people that love FAST cars, at every price point, from hot hatches to rally cars to the exotic hypercars. The rarest are the odd homologation rally type cars. It seems when you read they have to sell 500 cars, that translates to dumping them in Switzerland as we have less restrictive emission standards and nice high octane fuel.

jeebuz.....there's too many nice ones there to pick just one.
i'm gravitating toward the green 911. not the fastest of all of them, but one of the funnest.
 
Rear fender arches say "I'm a 912"...

Still cool, but slower than molasses in January.

I know my Porsche's. I've owned two: 1987 930S (911 Turbo with factory Slant Nose), and a 1970 911E. Both were painted in the Porsche RS Purple color. It's a deep plum/burgundy sort of color that Porsche only used in '70 & '71. I had to twist many arms and pay an ungodly amount to have my 930 special ordered from Stuttgart in a color that hadn't existed for 16 years. They would only agree to do it if I paid the entire cost to have PPG make a one-off batch that due to their processes meant producing enough to paint about 10 cars.

I agreed, but countered that if I was paying for a gazillion gallons of paint, I wanted the paint remaining after finishing my car.

They said no.

I said I'd take my $30K deposit back and buy something ITALIAN!

They caved.

My car shipped along with a pallette with a giant container of purple paint strapped to it. :)


It not only came in handy when I got a big chip in the rear deck lid below the wing, but I ended up selling the container to Black Forest German Auto in Dana Point, whom I had re-spray the deck lid.

Win/win.

Last I heard, my old 930 is still being flogged as a track car. The 911E went to a good home, but where it is now or if it still exists, I don't know.
