Winter wonderland 911 style. 1st good snow fall requires some pics....add yours.

1st good snow fall calls for some photos...
The car sat for 6 weeks and it didn't even crank one full turn before comming to life.


Add yours...

The new LUMIX FZ 150. I had the new Cannon and Nikon to compare it to. The new chipset in the Lumix is incredible. The lighting today was really dark and over cast. You never know in that kind of lighting if anything is going to come out half way decent. I let the camera choose the correct setting. I was just trying to get some good pics before I went to work removing the snow from my drive way. The hi res pics are fantastic and became my new screen saver. I can email them to anyone that wants them.

I don't drive my 911 in the winter for the same reason. This was just a "pull it out into the drive way for a photo op" and then pull it back.

lol..Actually it looks like nothing but good clean snow on the tires, not much at that, and the tracks left are just compacted snow, no dirt or gravel being picked up. Not much to clean! Good pics.

Had to re-arrange the cars in my garage and storage space, so they have been left outside a few days. That meant a drive with my RS Tribute in a crispy 10 degrees! It was (eh...) interesting....

Those are my 2001 996 Carrera Conv GT3 look, the 2000 996 conv, my 1973 T Targa, and the 1972 T RS Tribute with 3.0 SC engine:


Johan




No, I don't normally keep my Porsche's outside. Or one 996 is in the carport, to be more precise.


Regards,
