ah, the magnificent mother nature. Amazing Photo!

What are the rims on the car? Seems like OZ Racing but wonder what model it is. Care to share the offset spec as well?

Thanks! Yes, those are the O.Z. Racing Leggera HLT's, in Bright Race Gray. Rear is 20 x 11, with 50 mm offset (same as OEM), and fronts are 20 x 8.5 with 55 mm offset (close enough to OEM, which are 61 mm). I get tons of compliments on them. They look great, and clean really nicely with a slick finish.

This past weekend I was able to get away for a quick (Friday afternoon - Sunday) 1,000 mile tour of some of the best roads in our region. A favorite loop of mine that takes me from Idaho, to Montana, back to Idaho, then briefly into eastern Washington and Oregon, then back home to Idaho. The trip was equal parts fun, spirited (fast) driving, and capturing photos of this incredible car surrounded by beautiful, fun places to drive. Full story and tons of photos in my blog post: bwhip's summer weekend drive

Here are a large handful of favorite photos from the trip:

Thanks! It was a fantastic trip, and it still blows me away that there could be that many beautiful (and fun) roads to cover in just 2 1/2 days.

Simply gorgeous pictures. I am envious. Grew up in Seattle, but live in the flatlands of Texas now.

What kind of drone do you use. Pictures of it maybe. Thanks

Thanks very much! I've got a DJI Mavic Air 2, which has proven itself to be quite awesome. Folds up to be quite small, and easy to take along on my car or moto trips. Good battery life too.





I've taken photos forever, but never thought I'd want or need a drone - until I got one early last year. They open up so many great opportunities for shots on my trips. Fun for video stuff too. I find myself analyzing sections of roads I take for how they might look from above, including looking at my GPS map for tighter, twistier sections, which always look cool from above.

Amazing pics!

I have a DJ Mavic Mini.....photos come out unreal. I haven't used it on my Boxster T yet, but here's an idea of what it can do.

My absolute favorite. I could lose myself in 99 miles of turns.
