Horrible compression on the Pistohheads upload beta. What's the best way to get better photos up?

If you click/press on the thumbsnap image a couple of times the resolution improves no end

(Click on the image to open a new thumbsnap page, then click on the image again... hey presto, lovely resolution)

No need to start Facetweeting, just Google TinyPic image hosting. Very simple and easy to use (and no restrictions on file sizes)

I'll check it out!

Now that is weird. I won't ask how you worked it out, but it works

Meanwhile, somehow, I'm becoming more convinced the side stripes do not suit the turbo...

I think the Turbo would look better with black lettering like the Boxster on the previous page to be honest.

Funnily enough, I watched the signwriter do this and the lettering was cut in black and then used to help position the red lettering IYSWIM.

I think it also needs the bit ahead of the front wheel arch like the Boxster has.

which is does not have on the classic stripe ! :-)

the classic Porsche side stripe is just on the doors, the modern stripe has the front bit as the vents are in the way so they have a rounded rear section.

classic


and on my Spyder which is the classic stripe



And on the new 911 R



the GT4 stripe is the new style and if you order one for a Boxster it's seems to be a GT4 part number.
Also the Cayman R had the front section.

Well, even allowing the usual filtering and correction for comments made by 8 mates who like to take the piss out of each other remorselessly in the pub, the opinion last night was a thumbs down for the "Halfrauds stripes".

Not a fan of grey or silver then?

Why the 4C? Would be interested in your thoughts on it. General opinion in the press was that it's a brave concept let down by the engine and gearbox. Saw one on the M4 recently appear behind me and wasn't sure if it was a 4C or 8C at first, I like the looks - even the lights.

[m33ufo]

I do like bright colours on a sports car

My 4C is a Spider and it's just awesome! Whilst the 4 cylinder turbo isn't very tuneful the thing does fly! It's a really special car with carbon everywhere. And the wheels....perfect!
