    Very nice car, but that colours not for me.

    Give me red, green, black, grey everytime over that yellow. For me it just seem a bit washed out, when i was at mallory the other week and there was a yellow 968, i remember thinking at the time how much better it was than the t5-r yellow, it looked stunning.

    lovely motor but yellow doesn't do it for me, as the wife often says 'once you've had black you never go back ! ' (not sure what she means by that but I guess it's because we have a black R)

    I love my 854 Gul which I've just had 5 weeks now. Puts a big smile on my face everytime I drive her, although the mrs and kids hate her............but who cares what they think?

    Why are yellow T5Rs called "gul"?

    Love the yellow ones but think the 850Rs are the ones to have in my opinion.
