Hi All,

I was up at SCOM yesterday and was having a good look around the new paint shop up there. Imagine my surprise when I was told about a 993 orginally in Guards Red being repainted Macadamia at a cost of £4k to the new owner. Macadamia is basically Metallic Brown. I've seen it on a Boxster and it looks good, but on a 993? Shame I didn't have my camera on me at the time to photograph it while it was still in the paint booth. The 993 originally looked like this:

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now I've seen that, the 993 may look quite tasty in Macadamia. I'll have to get in touch with SCOM and see if they'll take some pictures and e-mail the finished result to me.
