We`ve just made a bit of an investment in the photographic Dept so our pictures should be improving.


Surprised you felt the need - your pics have always seemed pretty good to me, perhaps a bit formulaic, and never enough of them, but decent enough quality.

cheers

I was just a bit concerned that the quality wasn`t all it might be especially if relax the file limitations now more people have broadband. As with all things we`re trying not to rest on our laurels. Re: the formulaec approach it`s tricky when photographing the same subject all the time. We have to be careful not to swamp with image numbers and after all they are only designed to give an overall view, we always advise a physical visit to see cars and have a chat.

That said thanks for the compliment.

How about the occasional bonus shot of one of your 911Virgin girls lovingly demonstrating correct useage of the gearstick or maybe even heel n toe technique

Failing that, there is always Tom

We do have a subscribers section where we show a selection of bare ankle and foot shots showing, amongst other things the correct placement for heal & toe. The section recently enjoyed a particularly favourable review in Toe Sucking Monthly !

Yes, I realise its bound to be a bit samey, given that they are all cars.

I'd suggest having more pics (esp. more interior) accessed via thumbnails or (simpler) just text links, so its not an all or nothing thing, you'd maybe need to re-structure the site a wee bit, but not a whole lot.

Well whatever the photos are like they worked for me...I've just put a deposit down on the 'Blue Meanie'. It looks better in the flesh, but then so does Henry!! I expect to pick it up in the new year and I'll keep you posted.

Given that it`s Paul`s 3rd car from us now, probably not !!

Thanks for that Paul although my knackers are still aching from the kicking they got !! You really have bought a lovely car if only I could justify a 7th car I`d have kept it !

Speak soon.

Congrats on buying the blue monster. I quite fancied the turbo S he had last year but couldn't justify it to anyone but myself.

Right, who's goning to Bedford on the 14th then? Book through motorsportvision direct.

Commision, isn`t that some Spanish word that sits next to discount in the dictionary !

I`ll pop you round in the GT3 if we bump into each other on a track day next year. I may be on some of the gold track days.

Just looked on your profile and never realised you were the chap behind 911uk.com !!

Keep smiling

I believe the riviera blue car now owned by Paul is the one belonging to 'turbofree' Dave (if UV hasn't pointed that out yet. It was a tidy old thing when he had it, bought for not a lot more than it's worth now from an OPC that couldn't shift it for love nor money. Immaculate car but needed some sportier seats (why they put the small bolstered seats in turbos I'll never know). Funny as riviera looks great on the RS, but a little 'odd' on the Turbo.

I can't believe there's another riviera blue turbo 4 in RHD in existence. If there is I'll pose for Toe Ticklers Monthly with Henry in '06.

Be careful, what with your planned shoot for Hamster Spanking monthly there won`t be enough hours in the day !

But I think you are probably correct so saved on this occasion !

I have to say that I had my eye on the car for some time...just trying to pluck up the courage to buy it! Your right, it is a little odd in Riviera Blue, but it does grow on you when you see it in the flesh ( unlike Henry!!) and it drove beautifully..much quicker than my ability...mental note..have to be little less cavalier than with the C2.

I'll rather be hoping for the keys instead

sadly I can't take credit for the 911uk site, i'm just a regular contributor... don't have my own www so it was the next best thing to add

but we have met on the odd time before, once before I owned a 911 and come around to the henry towers to look at a few 993 where you told me a story about the antiques road show if I recall, very confusing start to my 911 life but you then disappeared after I started asking about colours and mileage (I didn't know back then, what can I say!) !! and again on that silverstone track day you co-hosted back in april, I was in my 993 who tried going out at the start of each fast session at the front of the queue and was trying to get the pit marshall to let me have up as much of a head start to get a lap in whilst still leading, before I was swampped by all you GT3 cup cars (worked once!)... otherwise and hate to say it but I've been impressed by all of forum rantings of late on all those postings about car control !

I'm very jealous! If I'd have had the money it would have been mine about 5 minutes after it got posted on the site

Ah well, I'll just have to keep doing the overtime
