For example:




Also, and this is just my 2 cents, the photo for April is a good "art shot", but it not "Porsche" enough for my tastes. Perhaps I'm remembering the famous Ferrari photo that shows a 308/328 from the same angle.

My personal preference (after my own car, or course) is to use one of these for April.

Showing the car's lines close-up with scenery in the distance:


Or showing an alternate perspective view:


Again, thanks for the work.
I think I'll swap out dtw's pics for the 1st one above. Hopefully the photo will be clear enough after cropping out much of the pic. But I'll try it anyway.

As for the close up of a red targa...I wanted to use this one but noticed that it had white paper laying on the ground. I suppose I could photoshop it "black" like you did above. I'm not sure if I can do that without downgradiing the resolution.

Thanks for your inputs!

This is a nice one! If I use this pic it would have to replace one of the pics in a preliminary calendar with a tail. I don't want to add more tailed 911 (except for a duck tail).

For those that wants a pic of a cabriolet we need a better photo! Some pics are cropped too close. Others has uninteresting background, etc.
