OK, was bored out of my mind with COVID quarantine a couple of weekends ago, and went thru the Excellence Magazine website looking for 968 articles.   Here's what I found - only one of them available online (great writeup on Jeffrey Coe's "Minty" 968), but good info if anyone has the collection or wants to order back issues :

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;">Porsche gave its 1992 968 the very best in technology and styling. But it wasn’t enough.

Good one Velocety, I love the colors of the 968s and am a little sad about my boring white exterior. But I do have grey cloth seat with Porsche printed into .... maybe I should stop the cat sleeping in there.

I have two white ones and dislike the color. It has no depth nor can you detail one up. Interestingly enough I just painted the inside of one white to spruce it up. Looks great.

So you understand.... Yes I have a lovely, very original car, but in many ways that's tedious. Yes I'm ready for the justified deluge of "stop whining", but I'd love to stick on an SC, flared arches, upgraded shocks and springs etc ........ Oh dear, maybe I need another ?????

To pile on the anti white crowd, my suv is white also. I purchased that from a forum member. Great suv just.    Again.      White

My A4 is white, our loan car is white, I tried to buy a white BMW in 2001, the salesman wanted a double deposit in case I backed out and he would not be able to sell a white car, how times have changed

Doesn’t get much more subjective than color preferences, but since you guys started it .. I would never buy a white, black, or red car .   Nor any car without a metallic finish.  

I may not even want to drive a white , black or red car, whether they were handed to me for free .  ( exceptions :  Ferraris or McLarens in candy-apple dark red .. but still no white or black even in those cars .  ) .    

And I DETEST matte finish cars, who the heck would want to own / drive a car which looks like it’s been covered in primer and never painted any further ?!     But hey, as they say ,  different strokes...

Apologies Velocity et al for posting here but I'm unable to start a new topic on non Porsche forum. I thought we would find this 911 article interesting.....
