Hah that’s great! You just need the flying pig decal for your car and that picture would be complete.

I've been lucky to have done that a couple times. An amazing track to do long, smooth sessions with no traffic. You can get into such a flow there. I did chuckle a couple times thinking of all the corner marshals watching me butcher corner after corner. At least the car sounded good.

This was the first time on track with this 964 though, and I'm happy with the way the car felt and performed throughout the day.
Definitely feel much better in the car on area roads after having pushed it at the track a bit.

Love discovering new murals. Buildings/cars/art/scale/perspective/color
Speaking of pictures, your car will be ready soon, have you been scouting future photo locations?

Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day!

Headed back up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and rode the climb from James River to Peaks of Otter. Awesome drive/ride/drive day. So glad for cold AC on the way home.

Udo, these are spectacular shots!. You always seem to find the best spots, or is it perhaps, that the best spots are where you live! Either way, I do enjoy coming here to feel good. Thank you!

Thanks guys! It's a treat to be able to combine my two passions in such a rewarding way (and share a little bit of that with this group). Thanks for indulging me.

Out with big brother (real 3.8RS), then hung out with some blue cars...

Almost slept in, but so glad I got my lazy **** out of bed. So many great conversations today. The stories these cars have.

Get out there and post some random pics!

Just back from a wonderful week in the North Carolina mountains to escape the heat. Enjoyed a daily dose of AM bike riding, followed by lots of PM 964 curve hunting.
Packed the bike in the car as I traveled around the region looking for new climbs to ride and had a blast on both 2 and 4 wheels.
Hundreds of miles of 2nd and 3rd gear turns. I love the steering feel of this car!
The 964 ran flawlessly and thank goodness for AC as I returned back home to the heat.

Beautiful area, car, bike, and pictures.
I was born in Fayettville, NC. My father was stationed there for just long enough for my mother to complete her term with me and then move to the next assignment. Around four months. I've been back once to drive through and see my natal home. It didn't look like your pictures.
