Default WTF 1980's Porsche Posters?

When I was in college in the mid-80's I remember seeing a really cool poster in a guy's dorm that would look great in my garage. The poster had a red 944, a red 928, and a red 911 posed next to each other. Does anyone else remember this one or know where I can find one now?

LOL, I though you meant the other "WTF"

Yeah, I remember that one. My two favorites from that era was a cut-away illustration of a 930. And also a butt shot of a black 930 over a crest of a hill with all 4 tires off the ground ...the caption: "Why so many germans are rocket scientists."

Good luck to ya: post em when you find them ...would love to relive them

A poster I wished I had. Although I could recreate it . . . except for the Euro lens . . .

Hey funny I thought that too ( WTF ) ... I remember the poster of the 911 coming over the crest . I wanted our club racing guy to use it as a promotional poster with the caption. " 4 wheels off the track ? .. your day is done "
They use that slogan at PCAUCR events to keep hot doggers under control at track events and keep safelty in mind.. A great poster though ... Think I have seen this one recently ..

here are some other good flying Porsches

Best place to go is www.parc.de, they have reprints of a lot of the old Porsche posters. They take a while to ship since they're in Germany, but prices are pretty reasonable.

The original poster was probably thinking of this one:



But it was a red 356, 928 & 911. From that site posted by Chris.

Hello all,

This thread has been long dead but I'm hoping there is someone out there that can still help me. I'm looking for two posters that we had in our garage when we were kids. My Dad was a Porsche mechanic and I would really like to find these posters again. If anyone has any idea where I can find them I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Sorry for the poor quality photos.

Dave
