Fall + Porsche 911 + Mountains = Awesome (PICS!)

Just wanted to share some pictures of a little drive in the mountains of Colorado last weekend with my girlfriend and my 911.

I can't imagine life without one of these wonderful cars....character, class, style, performance and a driving experience that makes me smile every damn time I get inside and turn the key!

I hope you enjoy these pics!

Cheers,

- CraigD

LOL Thanks guys! I thought you'd appreciate the scene. That's my girlfriend in the pics by the way. She's Japanese and looks a lot younger than she is..she was actually born the same year as my 911, Blackjack! They both look great to me too!

Here are some more pics!

Cheers,

@ winter - Yep that's the one!! It wasn't too crowded this past Saturday, but the canyon roads leading up to and down from the mountains were the most fun of the day! (I use the less traveled canyons when the leave peepers are out and about!)

Good call!

Craig, there is something special about 911's and the mountains. Looks like you had a great day.

Your next assignment is to take a video camera and get some short clips of you going through the twisties, preferably taken by your lovely lady shooting from a safe place along the roadside. If that is not practical then have her sit in back and shoot over your shoulder while you do this.

V. nice all round. The backdrop sets off the drive very well. I like the black on black.

Mountain drives are what its all about. Your fall = our Spring:
