Got my R56-S

Hi everybody out there, recently got my Mellow Yellow. By far, more than I expected. Feels good to be part of this community, everybody have something to say about your car, and you don't have to pay for a Porsche. Same or better handling, a little less aceleration as it comes from Oxford, and a lot less cash. Lets see how we get some more BHPs when the ECU's modifications gadgets and all the other stuff comes available.
Keep up the good motoring.

Anyone have a good HiRes pic of the Mellow Yellow? I currently own a Millenium Yellow Z06 and I'm curious if the colors are similar. Since I'm considering purchasing a MCS and have not seen this color in person.

Thanks
