Not wanting to stop this well worthy cause I do hope someone got Porsches approval before moving ahead with this. I have been here and was told that if any image of any car is reproduced for sale without permission it is a copyright violation. It seems that Porsche has registered the shape of all of their cars so reprodicing any image of a Porsche to sell without their blessing is an offence.
Their point of view (not mine) may be they don't want women drapped on the hood of a 911. So. Please, please ask someone about this before spendinag any more money.

I am not expert in this area, but in this case (as opposed to creating an item with a Porsche shape, symbol or trademark, these are photographs of individuals who happen to be with cars they own, and I think there is a distinction. In any case, if PCNA were to jump on this, I think they would be creating a public relations nightmare (and I would happily take the lead in making that nightmare happen!).

Okay. I wish you all well with this. I'm just saying, I hope someone asked before leaping or did a bit of research. I did several years ago and was told by PCNA what I wrote earlier. Have a great Friday and a better weekend... I'm putting my 356 away for the winter. :-(

A little birdy told me this weekend that some people have sent me PMs requesting calendars and I have not gotten back to them. If you are one of those people who has not received a response from me, I offer my profuse apologies. I thought I was being very careful to go through my inbox methodically and not miss anything, so I cannot say whether I am having technical issues, or simply having senior moments, but I beg your forgiveness and ask you to please contact me again.
I have well over 400 PMs from 220+ people in my inbox these days...so please don't take this the wrong way, but it will take way more hours than I have to go back through every PM and figure out who I'm missing.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
