A picture a day... Porsche

Oufff! They are lovely, I take it there no issues with uv and exposed carbon sitting in it for long periods or will it be garaged when not in use?

Just curious as I thought direct sunlight can weaken carbon over time?

Hideous in the extreme. Who's the owner Theodopolis P Wildebeest?

Have to agree, it does look horrible.

Thanks.

Garaged when not in use but these are manufactured differently to other carbon wheels or body parts. I have noticed they actually tend to go grey blue rather than yellow as they get older and exposed to the elements. We had ours ppf'd by Topaz. Only other turbo I've seen with them in the UK

Reminds me of this from the original Cannonball Run film

First sunny day with my Spyder. It's a very special thing.

Agree, that is hideous

Goodwood Breakfast Club some years ago. Great car.

There's something about the 944/968 shape that makes you think 'yes - Porsche did some proper design work to distribute all of the weight correctly...'

I didn't want to say earlier but now I can't help myself. They look like they have some dead bodies in the boot. A bit too low at the back for me compared to the front.

Huh? Even in the above photo, the front looks lower than the back.

I think the above statement is your subconscious crying out about some dead bodies incident in your past.....

Can confirm no bodies present in the back

Adjustable rear suspension ride height needs adjusting upwards - rear sits approx 20mm lower - it’s on the (getting longer) list…

And yes, profile of 944/68 is one of the best, and handling backs up the engineering input.

I love the 944/968 especially in slate grey met.

Whereas I think it looks better in just about any other colour - but colour was low on the list of preferences at the time

At least the paint quality’s pretty good - perhaps not as mirrored as some, but not a bad reflective surface for 30yo with just a wash and a wipe….

Raining, but still entertaining…

It's just as good going in the other direction too.

Great pics……does it ever not rain?

Very nice, unusual colour. I've just sold a GTS Boxster and bought this one in Crayon which I like a lot

Yes, but only for it to snow …
