10 New Pictures of BB2

No good reason at all. Maybe if I have kids, this'll stop.

I took these before last weekend's track day, on the off chance that I might crash the car without any pictures of it with the ducktail.

Click on any image for a larger version.

Thanks for the post, Jack. I won't get tired of seeing pics of your car, I promise. As far as constantly taking pics of your car? Cindy thinks I'm supporting Kodak all by myself.

Excellent pictures Jack, I love the look of your car with the ducktail. Any chance you could send me the full size pictures? I'd like to use them as backgrounds. My email is sbstanley@ucdavis.edu. Thanks!

That looks like Oxnard in the background.

Jack,

I'm sure you've posted this before, but what size tires/wheels are you running?

Mike

This is my favorite. Man, what a car. Any chance to get some full-size files for wallpaper?

That is either Oxnard or Camarillo. Where are pics from Jack?

Thanks.

The pictures were taken at a parking lot near where I live, and then -- since the car was already out -- I drove up the PCH to Oxnard. I saw those irrigation things going in a field, and thought they might make a cool backdrop.

The tires are 255/315x17's. The rears look like steamrollers, but the grip is phenomenal.

If anyone wants larger images, email me at jackolsen@attbi.com, and I'll send them to you.

The badgeless look is unintentional. It's maybe the first Porsche part to fail on the car. Driving home from TRE, recently, the badge snapped loose from the mounting pins. When I got home, I still had the nuts and the pins, but no badge. Another one is on the way.

Ah lovely Oxnard. My old stomping grounds. Nothing quite like the smell of sulphur and fertilizer in the air. Lots of really good driving areas around there. There used to be quite a bit of street racing on those roads.

Thanks. I thought the 245s/275s on my SC-flared car looked impressive. Yours are just plain menacing....

Very cool car.

How much is your total "investment" so far?

Jack, is that a lexan type rear window? I currently have my rear glass out to replace the headliner and I was debating on whether I should go with a lighter rear glass or not.

Jack, it's one thing to kill my favorite 911 (BBI) but if you wreck this one (which is growing on me) I won't look at any of your other 911's...I haven't got time for the pain
