A little porsche content... could one of you photoshop whiz's give me a preview of a gulf paint job on my new track toy.
Any other Porsche paint schemes that come to mind?
Lets see what ya got

I tried on the OT board but I think it got lost in the political noise.
Thanks

I wish my photoshop skills were better--I'd be all over that!

Hey Matt. If I make it out this year it won't be in the TC. It's down for a rebuild and upgrade and, and, and, you know how that goes with a turbo

I may ride out there just visit and see all the running 911's and enjoy the fine company. We will just have to put up with Souk.

LOLLLLL

So any photoshop whiz's going to give it a whirl?
I hope to get this thing looking great before I send it sliding down the track

DANG! I was gonna tell you that's a sweet bike...then you had to go make a crack about me...you're lucky you won't be running at the cart race!

That bike is sweet! What is it? Do you still have the Gixxer CR? Dude..I gotta check out your toys! Since my car might be down .... err..both my cars! I might as well ride one of the motorcycles to the cart race and then buzz all the slow 911's

OK..I can't PhotoChop...but how about a bump?

Gulf blue and orange, not a bad look.

thnx driver. That looks pretty good. Where would the GULF meatball go? I am guessing that the theme would go over the heads of the two wheel crowd, so I need to make it obvious. It does look pretty sweet in blu/orange.

Souk. Gotta mess with ya a little

The bike is a 99 Aprilia RS 250 cup. They had a cup challenge for a few years and now these bikes are no longer competitive with current 4 strokers. It will make a great track day learning tool for me. They weigh about 280 lbs. and make about 60hp. It should be a good bike to get me back up to speed on the track. Much like our 911's it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. The next problem is fitting into my old leathers, from what I can tell they shrunk a lot

It has been a long time since my knee was on the pavement.

The gixer is still in progress. I am putting a two brothers racing canister on my old D&D pipe. (need to tig the pipes together) The D&D was way to loud for my old self to ride. I think I am going to lose the fairing and go street fighter with it.

Sounds like a fun toy Dave. I think "motions" has a 250 Aprilia track bike. I'd love to get a track bike, but I'd have to park the bike at someone else's garage or Heather will place a WTB ad and sell it for cheap if she found out!

Strats sounds like fun. We'll have to hook up for that before it gets cold. It'll make me dust off the Duc...

I think Gulf is most obvious to casual fans. A few decals and/or meatball. Meatball would look great on a race bike anyways
