Correct. It would be quite a feat for him to have one of THOSE in-stock.
This was the R53 convertible with the 07 color choice of LB. And as I said, in MY opinion, it's a great color. I locked my order down right then and there. I liked the Hyper Blue a lot, but this blue has a richness I really liked.

I gotta say, (Lightning Blue is) an amazing color. Very glad I ordered it. I took photos, but it's really a difficult color to capture. It has a very very subtle violet/purple aspect to it, but only in certain angles of light. It's a bit darker than the Hyper Blue, and a much richer color. I can promise that ANY photo you've seen online does not quite capture the real color.

That was at the first press launch at Zandersvoot (sorry, I'm sure I spelled that wrong
). It was the slolom/autocross they set up to let the journalists play a bit before going on the track.
About a minute in you can definately see the lift off overstear coaxed out of the car with a little Scandanavian Flick thrown into boot. Pretty cool. Looks like fun.

don't know what they are doing here - testing the DSC?
