How about a cobalt blue?
Hi Tim,
Nice car and nice cars. It is a Porsche club or group in Van?
I am from there and I know the exact parking lot your picture was taken. Love the Sea to Sky Highway.
Did it on my motorcycle before but need to bring my P-car up this summer to run it.

My Friend Michael Vong's car (unfortunatly not mine, but then again I know approx. how much money he's pouring into it, so I'm kind of glad it's not mine...) [image]http://mjvong.shutterfly.com/action/slideshow?a=67b0de21b3355f81c4a5&auto=0&idx=31&m=1&d=1144704846050[/image]

Dear Ken,
You're right. I went up with a few friends that belong to the local PCA-CWR. I've enclosed one more picture. Would love to see your car one day!

I have to post this pic by "MattC". Love the alps in the background. This pic has helped me wait since November till I pick mine up in May! Has been a great Desktop background. Thanks MattC.
My pleasure tkids. Here's another one just for you. I'll be taking some fresh ones as soon as spring's back. It was here for a day or two but right now, it's snowy again

Carlos,
I've always liked this photograph looking down onto the estuary, but you could have parked your car between the lines!
I've watched a few episodes of an American TV show called "Monk" recently, about a crime investigator who is obsessive about cleanliness, tidiness and everything being in its place. It must be getting to me.

Don't let him get to you or pretty soon you will need to touch the ends of the car antenas as you walk by!
Place Monk on red Ferrari merchandise clothes and who wpuld he remind you of?

Uhhh...am I the only one who does this?
PJPR- excellent taste on the Slate grey/Carrera Classics!
(in your photo the rancher across the street looks like he just spotted a UFO)
Do you notice much difference with the new Conti's versus PS2?
Here's mine:
Re: and the winning photo is....
Hello Damian...many thanks!
Well...yours is a beauty as the Crocodile Hunter would say...love those Red Brembo's and of course the colour combination. Funny you should mention the rancher...truth be told, I didn't realize I had captured these guys in the picture, was just trying to get the blue bonnets and the Porsche in the frame.
I like the Contis so far a lot...to me they appear quieter than the Michelins, am waiting to get about 500 miles on them before taking any aggressive turns, but so far, so good. I've always enjoyed the Contis...in fact, I have them on my Passat and Range Rover Sport, so perhaps I have a bias towards them.
cheers,
Paul

Re: and the winning photo is....
@ tkids and Dan L,
Let me know before you come here if you like. We might go for a coffee or something! Would be nice to meet some fellow rennteamers. Or just PM me if you need information.
However, I'll be on vacation for three weeks from the last week of May on: SF - Boston - LeMans

I was about to agree with you fritz but then I looked more closely and see that this was a very careful and calculated placement. The peak of the car is placed almost exactly at the peak of the peninsula and as close to the edge as possible, all of which directs your attention to the real subject, the Porsche. It's clearly not just parked haphazardly, like on the stripe or just over it. No, it's so far over the stripe that it's definitely deliberate. And in fact, the stripe seems to bisect the Porsche. Probably coincidental but it adds another element to what is already an outstanding photograph.
