Default Cobalt Blue

All - These boards were quite a help when I was choosing a color for my 911. In the end, I opted for Colbalt Blue, a color which has been discussed here at some length. And to give others a sense of the color, I'd like to post several photos I took of the car on the way to my office this morning. The pics - which are not exactly Ansel Adams material - were shot in my adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA.

Sweet color and pics. Congrats. Rome occasionally orchestrates a weekend informal gathering at the Lighthouse Point (IIRC) in Marblehead. Maybe we'll meet up there one some time.

That is a nice color. I especially like the wheels - what are they?

I'm in N. Andover and since purchasing my cab in July I've been tooling up and down the coast, Cape Ann, NH seacoast, etc. every chance I get. Will have to make it down to your neck of the woods/sea soon.

Thanks, all. The wheels are factory black SportDesign. I found this car at Stoddard Porsche in Ohio, and they were a key selling point. As was the sport exhaust . . .

Thanks, THP. I'm not particularly afraid of someone co-opting my license place number for fraudulent purposes. Somehow I think there are greater risks in life to fret about . . .

The cobalt color is beautiful. I wonder why Porsche discontinued it?
