pelicans swappin' paint?
 

What's up with Wayne's ad in the new Pano (Sept. 07, p.77)?
Are those two familiar long noses getting too familiar?

Can you post a scan or would that be inappropriate?

Sorry Jeff, I'm not scan compatible, not sure of legalities.
Here's a shot I glommed from a prior post, taken by Scott @ PP during the photo shoot for Classic Motorsport Magazine.
In the pic it looks like the red car is setting the yellow/brown car up for a pass in the corner, The Pano ad shows them in the corner about 1/2" away from each other, front fender to front fender.

Looked awful close to me. I thought it was a still shot at first as they were so close together...

I am home having lunch I will scan it when I get back to work. Its a very cool picture.

Wow, you are right. They definitely look like they are in motion. And they definitely look VERY close... It might be interesting to hear the "actuals"...

does the right Talbot on the brown/yellow look a little askew?

It's all smoke and mirrors :)

I saw that when I got my issue yesterday and wondered if that was a hit or near miss....

The drivers didn't look to me like they were actually in that situation.. but it's hard to tell for sure.

Real or Not real?

Maybe I am wrong but the drivers rear corner of the gold car looks wrong. Photochop?

So did anyone else pick up on the fact that Wayne's reply neither denied nor confirmed any rubbin'?

Looks to me as if the left hand rear wheel of the brown/gold car isn't loaded which you would expect it would be if it was going around a right hand bend at speed. In fact the whole car appears to be leaning into the corner.
Of course I might be talking out of my exhaust...

Those cars are stainonary, period.

There is a hint, hidden in the left front fender, just behind the headlight of the red 911. Look at the reflection. ;)

The photo looks obviously fake to me.

okay Wayne, I just got the Oct Pano.... same paint swappin ad.....and still no explaination.

If you weren't playing with project 959, I'd be looking for some answers:D

Photoshop or not, it's a GREAT picture.
