What is that? An HO scale race car?

that is too cool flash.
I actually heard that it's particuarly hard to find 968 trinkets because of the small production run, most toymakers didn't do anything since there were so few examples of the car. I certainly haven't found any.
Sooo . . . flash . . . I think first of all a cab conversion is in order, then a complete strip-out of all interior plastics down to the aluminum frame. Complete repaint and put it in the oven. Then racing seats, new 1" wheels. New tinkertoy racing suspension. Better call up Pete @ RS Barn and see what he has for scale-models. . . maybe he can make you a custom chip. . .

lol - i don't know where she finds this stuff or how, but i'm just happy she does - she has found some really odd stuff, like the factory CD for the car, an ad card for a 1991 968 (that's not a typo on my part), and a matchbox 968 cab, as well as a dozen and a half different posters
fun stuff for sure

It would be awesome of you could devlop a carbon fiber hood, spoiler and sunroof, if you don't do the cab conversion. Of course it would have to be street fit and not racer. What is the offset for the wheels? Looks like you need to flair the wells...maybe some 993 parts for the front lights... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
OK, enough nonsense...it is great to have a significant other who appreciates/indulges your hobbies/passions.
Isn't that what life should be all about???
All of our threads should be this happy...(Kumbaya)

You're a lucky guy! But dig this.My wife(of 25 yrs)(who has shown little interest in my Porsches(4) over that span) surprised me like never before for my 50th bday.She thought that I was deserving of a newer Porsche and(with the help of my son) researched and found a mechanically perfect and immaculate 92 black 968 .Pretty cool,eh.I was speechless.Love the car and big performance upgrade over previous P-car(83 944)(great car in its own right though).She even thinks this car is cool though.
