Hi, new member here and I thought it would be good to introduce myself..

I am from Denmark but currently living in Australia with my better half. We brought our classic Porsche cars with us when relocating, so they been around the world a bit. I am big fan of the 968 and these makes up 2/3 of our stable and also the one we drive the most.

First up is Minty, which was owned by Porsche AG for the first year being used for promotional duties.

The other 968 is Viola, which is our newest addition and still living in DK. Its Violet Blue metallic with two tone maritime blue and light grey interior. The image below is not actually our car but almost identical, as for some reason I dont have a full car image of ours yet, only partial shots. Second image showing the actual interior of Viola.

I generally love the bold special colours that Porsche offered back in the 70's, 80's and 90's before everything went silver, black and white. I do most of the maintenance and mechanical work on the 968's myself and something I enjoy and find very rewarding, keeping them in top condition.

I enjoy reading all the post here on carpokes and hopefully I can contribute too.

Cheers, Alex
