Winter eye candy

Outside the weather sucks... It's grey and it has been raining for the last 2 weeks it seems....

The track season is over and the car is now at the shop for a winter "upgrade" (more on that later).

I have been thinking about writing a 1st year report, with impressions, frustrations, moments of joy etc.

That is still in the works... but for the moment I wanted to share some pics Matt Howell took a couple of months ago for 911 & Porsche World...

Just a tease....

Lovely pics!

Yes, same dreary weather here in Sweden. The rain just never stops.

Ahhhh, now that's just beautiful!! Wonderful pics. Sure beats looking @ the lousy weather here in Canada. Thanks for some Porsche daydreaming.

I would really like to read a first year summary regarding your car. I followed the build, like a lot of folks, thinking it was the ultimate evolution of the 911. I'd really love to hear how the first year on the road went.

Best,
Tom

It's true...

the car is actually a narrow body and the rear tires are 245 sections...

Joking aside Matt played with the lights a lot. You can see that in the interior pic.

Also he had several different filters he applied on the lens.

I have some 200 pics from that day and you can tell the difference the lights/filters make. Photoshopping each one of them would have been a poor choice of how to invest one's time.

Plus the car really does not get too offended if one thinks it has got big hips

I am working on that. I'd like to make it a nice read, and my natural skills lay in a different field.

I am organizing "memories" right now....
