    Sure do like Bahama Yellow with that Softie.

    Beautiful car Eade. Tom McMahon had a 912 that looked just like that. Would that be the same car?

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

    No, this is a 68S that Rich Cabell took 6 years doing a complete resto on. The soft window is NOS, and the car is simply stunning. The pictures of it do not do it justice. I am a very lucky guy to have this car

    Bobby, great looking car. I love the Irish green. Gruen, it was good to see your SWB in green, looks framiliar. Right now I'm doing my 65 in Irish green with the houndstooth seats also. Can't wait to see how it comes out.
    Tom
