Default A morning with BB1

I met up with Mike the owner of the car from the original Bad Boys movie this past Saturday AM. Met at a rest stop on the GSP and then headed down to Long Beach Island to meet up with Frank and his son AKA Frank 993 C4S. He showed up in his gorgeous midnight blue and tan/blue turbo making a small gathering of 94 turbos.

It is interesting the looks you get driving these cars but what is more amazing when people see two or three in a row. I don't think Frank or Mike had a chance to see the double takes as well as I did since i followed. It was a beautiful morning with great company and always good to see other really nice cars. Both Mikes and Franks cars are in fabulous shape and the dark colors really photograph well. Although forgive me since I did not realize I had my white balance set to indoor flash while taking these. I figured I would share since you never know this may be the last public appearance of BB1 or will it?

Enjoy.

BTW I got to follow Frank home and see his gorgeous 997GT3 with RS wing. I will have one of these one day.

Hey Anthony .........pretty good pics on the GSP, taking into consideration the speed we were going.

It was a pleasure meeting up with you guys.

What else can be said about Anthony's car ......It's amazing. I was also suprised at how nice the
colors work so well on Frank's car. I have a couple I'll put up but most look the same as Anthony's.


I just realized after seeing Franks GT in the photo that I was drooling over it at Bodymotion. I stopped
in and the car just got there. That car really is incredible.

Mike.

Great pics guys! Next time, shoot me an email or a PM - you'll have a red one in addition to yours. I'd love to have the cars attend next year's Carlisle Import Nationals. Thanks for sharing the images - awesome & stunning!

Cheers,

Lance

PS I have a summer place in OC, NJ that I rarely get too... 40 minutes south of LBI.

BTW - here's a shot from the GSP last time we did a photoshoot (don't harass me about the car - I love Corvettes too).




PS Sorry to hijack this thread - if you'd like me to delete it, please PM me.

Awesome pics Anthony! I worked/lived in LBI during the summers during college and get down to Harvey Cedars for a week every summer. One day maybe I'll Join you guys in my own 965 but as you know my hunt continues.-Paul

Anthony, great pics. The 3.6 is truly a gorgous ride.
Modern corvettes only or do you like the old ones too?

hi,

really nice pics, thanks for sharing.

if i´m allowed to drop a brick : lowering BB1´s riding height a few centimeters would suit her well, i think...

Its amazing but I still come over all weak kneed seeing our cars, all 3 cars are stunning. Can't remember what year Bad Boys 1 came out and triggered my overwhelming lust for a 965, but the desire hasn't diminshed one bit. Thanks for sharing
