Zanzibar Red 986
 

Awesome looking Zanzibar Red 986 i have come across today while skipping over some classifieds.

Boxster S, Special one of a kind collector quality. For Sale (2000) on Car And Classic UK [C602070]

So i searched the color on here and found this fine example.

I love this color. What does everyone think, love it or hate it?

**LOVE**

Would trade mine right now, but I have a "red car" issue. 3 others in my garage...

My favorite Boxster color!

Saw a Boxster that color at local Porsche dealership couple years ago, had a "sold" sign on it. A photo doesn't do it justice. The color just pops, almost surreal, gotta see it in person.

After reading the sellers description - I'm simply Not Worthy

You asked for opinions....so....not my favorite at all. Maybe it's my eyes, but it has a distinct orange tint to it. Nope, not for me.

that is a great color. One of the best. The only thing that would make that color pop better than it does is if it had a sand beige interior.

My mechanic calls it "tomato soup" red :D

there is a nice boxster S for sale near me . I think this is a great car for the price . Full leather, sports seats , PSE , Bose and 32K on it .

2002 Porsche Boster S

Reminds me of lava Orange on the new RS

When ordering the Boxster Zanzibar Red was my first choice. It is much more orange than red. My wife's choice was Guards Red. Oh well.....

The car in the first post above:

was on eBay a few weeks ago:

Porsche Boxster Roadster s Convertible 2 Door | eBay

It's a pretty good looking little beasty sporting a set of Fred's headlights! :cool:

I wonder if it was picked up by another forum member?!? The headlights really look good, a very clean look. nice :)

Gawd, that color just screams mid-life crisis.

Some would say the same about a 2 seat convertible sports car.
How does color say that? :rolleyes:

Quit posting while drunk.

And here we have yet another stupid irrelevant post by tonichristi. You going for the record there pal? Or you could shock us all and make your first useful post.

And your post had some relevance?
Pot calling the kettle black. Work out your anger issues. ;)

As the OP was requesting opinions on this color, my post was completely relevant. It would seem that you are the one with anger issues, judging by all the rude and inappropriate posts you have made so far in this forum. (Still bitter about the big kids taking your lunch money?) You serve absolutely no purpose here and I am sure that I am not the only member wishing you would take your bad attitude and your trash talk somewhere else.

The original wording of tonichristie's post, from my email notification, prior to him editing it:
"And this had some relevance, jackhole?"

I have reported the post to the admin, noting that he has made no posts of value and posts solely to criticize and berate other members. He has been called out about this before by other members and has made no effort to change his unacceptable behavior. On this basis I have asked that he be removed from the member list. I would encourage anyone else of the same mind to also drop a line to the admin about it.

:troll:

Every site has one or 10......

I'm saving the Carrera GT for my mid life crisis!
Of course at the rate I'm going, my "mid life" will require me to live to about 165 years old...

what is midlife crisis, did I had that?!

Nice pics on that Zanzibar car... expansive paint job tho. I bet its hard(er) to maintain as well

I like it. http://forums.evga.com/upfiles/smiley/thumbup1.gif

The message tonichristi just sent me:

"Hahaha!

You: "I'm gonna tell!"

What's the matter? Did your boyfriend break up with you? Is that why you are always so pissy? Get a life, loser. You wanna be a ********************, then I'll treat you like one. I'll follow you around online and make you my personal pet. Anyone can change/mask their IP and start new accounts, so trying to have me banned will not help you one bit. I promise.

Hard to believe a Porsche forum would actually get idiots like this. This guy is even more obnoxious than that Slate01 guy that used to pull the same crap. I dunno, I suppose I should just feel sorry for him and whatever trauma has causes him to act out like this. Hopefully this poor pathetic little man will get the help he needs.

Yeah, some low-life stalked me over the cat thing. Nothing like personal IM attacks beyond posting. They just have to go there. I would hope Mark bans these types who attack others personally like this and contribute nothing to the site.

I was annoyed at first but the guy is just so pathetic it has become a joke to me. I actually am feeling a bit sorry for him as he obviously has some pretty serious life issues. People don't act out like this for no reason. Perhaps his mom was a crack whore or something like that.

That said, he should get his therapy through proper channels rather than coming on here and spewing his verbal diarrhea at complete strangers.
