    Red Hot California Dreaming--Thanks Everyone

    Hello,
    Thanks for showing me the light--911
    In particular, Carlos, for your patience/help with my RMS questions when I was still a newb.
    Base 911 with Bose, TPMS, Sport Steering Wheel, Power Seat, Self Dimming Mirro, Porsche Crest on Wheel (a must for red IMHO). $3750 off MSRP from Michael Porsche, Fresno, California.
    (P.S. Go to my web site in my signature line if you like to see some pictures of Italy.)

    Wow, nice color! Guards red is a pretty rare color for 997's, most go for black or silver. I love it.

    Re: Red Hot California Dreaming--Thanks Everyone

    Any number of rennteamers have explained to me, at great length I might add, how silver is absolutely positively the best color for a 911. Ambient light, shadows, sun down, dusk, etc. Baloney! The 997 looks so much better in Guards then Silver or Seal it ain't even close. Why so many people pick a "blend in" color for their beautiful sports car is beyond me.

    Re: Guards Red

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments. As I shoot these pictures I realize even more the unbelieveably beautiful (and timeless) lines of this car.
    I tried, and found out it's not too hard to make the 911 form look fast standing still. Though I must admit it's the view from rear end that attracts me the most.

    I love Silver, but Guards Red makes my heart race!


    How was Michael Auto? That's who I plan to go with. Did you work with Mark?

    Wow! That is the best colour I have seen on a 911. Maybe I can colour my Seal Grey 987 in with crayons....

    That is a GREAT shot. (Doisneau's, not mine )
    Once again, thanks everyone for the kind comments. Taking the pictures was fun as I am passionate (wife's translation -> crazy) about these 2 hobbies.
