    A few "winter" bridge photos

    Just took a "sick" day and healed myself with a drive... I love this car. Here are a few photos from my journey. (Can't compete with Carlos....)

    Nice photos!!! I used to ride my road bike up the Marin Headlands, doing repeats and sprinting to the crest before that long and treacherous decent. I haven't done that in years, but seeing these photos makes me want to dust off the Serotta (bike manufacturer, kind of a Porsche of bikes).

    Wonderful pics perhaps the health insurance companies all over the world should give a special discount to all P-car owners

    It is a "sick" day. It's for your mental health. You should be feeling better by now and by the way, your photography is excellent!

    Man, gotta love Bay area "winters"...

    Nice car too! Love 1, 5 & 6.

    Judging by the late day sky in photo 6, you had a nice long drive.

    I spent some time in San Francisco a couple of years ago when our company launched a new construction equipment system on the St. Regis Museum Tower. Definitely one of my favorite US cities. I really enjoyed it, and the roads in and around (Marin etc.) are great.

    This is what you call "winter" in SF? Wow. Look at this one...this is what winter looks alike over here in Bavaria.

    Now if you kept going into Marin County and got above the clouds and fog it might look something like this:

    Thanks.... I loved the USC loss.
    Yes, it is all black. And, it isn't that clean - not washed in approx 3-4 weeks .... Arctic Silver hides dirt pretty well!

    Huge compliment. Thanks. It is days like yesterday when one completely forgets the inane discussions about 480 vs. 483 bhp in the 997TT, or 997 vs. Cayman, or Sport Chrono is useless, etc.
    Just get what you want - you deserve it - and let it "heal" you.....

    Somehow, the car fits in regardleses of the climate. Not quite the same with our "competitors"
    Beautiful shot - by the way!

    Great shot. I'll probably have to wait until summer to get that kind of fog - but what a nice drive Mt. Tam is.....

    Yeah... we should arrange for a northern tour - as we've already done the penninsula quite a bit.

    Re: A few "winter" bridge photos

    Brilliant shots btw - must have been great up there as Ill bet is was pretty quiet. That road down to the point is superb and the view is as good too. Have enjoyed many a Sunday morning hammering down there just after the gate at the top is opened by the Parks guys. As Carlos said, get out there and enjoy!
