We tried to do a calculation about it this weekend and it looks like we are saving some money even compered to a high mileage TT.
If I buy a car with 200000Km on the tacho it will allways be high mileage car, My car had a straight chassie but alot of bodywork smashed and 18500KM on it. If I compare them I prefer I low KM car.

Midnight blue looks awesome on 996`s.
See https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...107170&page=12 for pics of mine or take the flight over to Gotland and come visit my garage. ;)
Depending on the attention you want on the street, light colours is better on racecars (easier to see leaks etc) but will draw more attention from cops.. :(

Black is a great colour on a 996TT :-) Hope to see you (and your car) on a track this summer, keep up the good work!

I agree, midnight blue is really nice!
But when you have some sponsors it is not really the best colour to put stickers on!

The Cops canīt keep up with me so I canīt see a problem with light colours..:D

If thats the case I would choose orange! It suits the 997 look very well in my opinion, and make the sponsor stickers stand out.

I agree again!:)
And I was close to chosing orange but I have a red dashboard so orange didnīt fit that good?!:(

My premium choice for the moment is white.. But I want some second opinions from you guys!
