    The front 3/4 shot with the trees is amazing.

    The only quibble is the white-out were the front number plate is. How hard is it to remove the front plate for photos?

    Glad I live in a state where they're not required!

    It's a daily driver ,hence the ugly front plate.
    Too complicated and difficult to remove the plate AND the frame that holds it in the field.

    Thanks!
    ....and mostly thanks to John who is showing a real talent for extracting more beauty out of some of these cars that they would deserve on their own.

    Winter too? I love the white, even more than my Guards Red.

    Forced by circumstances.
    Have garage space only for self,wife's truck and my younger kid's truck.
    No more space for weekend toys so this one is supposed to be all in one package,weekend warrior and daily commuter at the same time (IMO,no other car but 911(as you know yourself) can fill that role so well).

    Beautiful! The 1st and 3rd pictures are my favorite. I was hoping to come along so that John could get some rolling pictures but was unfortunately too busy yesterday

    Sad ending to that story.
    On my way home this afternoon I was hit by a truck on RT22/RT41.
    Car looks to me like it will be totaled ,I am bruised up but otherwise in fair shape and refused to be taken to the hospital.
    H.Park cops gave him a ticket,was insured by Geico so I hope they will cover the claim in full.
    Regardless,I will let my own insurance deal with them.
    I feel devastated.......

    Man.... sorry to hear about the car, but glad to hear that you were not seriously hurt. As far as the car, if there is that kind of damage hopefully the do total it out, cause you may not want it back.

    Bummer for sure.

    Sorry to hear that Mark. I hope the bruises will fade very fast and you can pick up another 991 Turbo quickly.

    Wow. I was admiring the photos (I daily drive a 2011 turbo S, blue but I love your white) then I read your accident. Sucks! I was in accident several years ago & it took 3 weeks for disk issues to surface just be mindful.
    Good luck
