I've been looking at 914 sale ads for the last hour.....

 

Bah Hah...:devil:

 

Buy a VW Karman Ghia. Much rarer than a 914 & less susceptible to rust too. :wink:

 

You you folks that did not make it over & for you that did here are pictures from Babs & I....

7-28-2012 P2O Granville OH - crashton's Photos

 

Very nice photos. I need lessons, I saw the same things but not in the same way. Your pictures are much better than mine.

 

We all see things in a different way & capture them in our own way. I don't think mine are better. Just different from yours. Keep shooting Nathan.

 

That's why I like to look at everyones photos....I get to see how others view the world.

 

White 911 in picture 20 would look great in my garage.

Brian if you are able to get a 914 tell my how you worked it with Missy and I will try the same for a late 70's early 80's 911. I still regret not buying a 1975 a when I bought my Integra years ago.

 

Allen I had you figured for an orange boxster.

 

Boxsters look odd to me in orange. Acceptable Boxster colors:

Silver
White
Black
against my better judgement dark green
burgundy

Unacceptable colors:
orange
red
lime green
blue

Something about the simple shape lends itself to shades of grey or dark metalic colors. Also to me those wheels look terrible. Boxsters look best with the swept back five spokes from the early years or a really thin 12 spokes. The thick spokes look too thick in relation to the rest of the car.

Since I am giving out my thoughts I also think the 911 looks worse every generation. The initial car had a great shape and porportions over time the evolution has done nothing for me. I like duck tail rear ends and whale tails only on turbo cars.

Lastly the Panamera looks nice only if you are blind and have no taste I think it is worse than the Cayanne because it throws away function to fit the design of the back end of a 911. The SUVs (yep there are gonig to be 2 options soon) use the company nose but from there back it is just any other SUV only faster. I also like the fact that Porsche guys can now pull their cars with another Porsche and you see a lot of them doing this when Mid-Ohio has a Porsche club event.

 

Alan, c'mon....get off the fence and tell us how you REALLY feel. . BTW, I think the orange, bright yellow and lime green on a Boxter looks outstanding....but then you and I don't agree on much anyway.

 

If I had the means I'd tow my GT-3RS with my Cayenne Diesel to track days. They would all be color coordinated too. Trailer too, including wheel styles.

 

Orange or Lime Green?

 

I didn't even bother showing any to her. I don't have the space, the tools, or the knowledge for an older car like a 914 or classic Mini.

 

Pepper white Boxster with orange wheels & mirror caps. Got it check..... :smilewinkgrin:

Maybe I should have shot everything in Black & White. :ihih:

 

Not quite Pepper White...a whole lot more desirable to me than a Boxster...

 

This was one of my favorites of the day

The color was called Sand Beige and the pic from my phone does not do it justice.

 

Here is a bigger version...
