Jäger, I like how that ad says your car has the Turbo S lip.... Is it invisible?

Rich-- Yep, it's so invisible I still haven't found it on my 911
Good eye! That's a little 'Easter Egg' I didn't mention, wondering who would see it the advertiser's mention.

BTW, your 993's always a nice sight, especially on Porsche's 50 Years of 911 photo competition

From the above ad & now the following, I see a trend
Who else's 993 has been used without your knowledge to advertise?

When a PCNA exec produced the world's first set of 2010 Sport Classic Tequipment wheels for my 911, thinking it might help product visibility, he probably didn't forecast this kind of advertising...

Kudos to a Belgian RLer for the tip. He recognized my Porsche & sent me a message:

A European business ripped off a RLer's photograph of Speedy.
The RLer's been notified, & we're in process of notifying the below company to remove their unauthorized ad ASAP

At least they left my no longer available Boothe Designs silver crest wheel caps alone.
But look closely at Graham's wheels: they photochopped his Porsche OEM centers with their logoed caps
...while significantly chopping the price of his wheels, or at least the rims the rip-off artists want buyers to think they're getting
Porsche's Sport Classics are a different price & width:

My BMW has been used in a few ads, but that's not really relevant here.

Maybe I should be flattered by such a company using my car - but the cheeky buggrs never sought my permission!
I have asked them to remove it as its misrepresentation.

Same here: another RLer alerted me to a business I've never been to nor heard of them.

Yet, has a photo of my 993 in their website's gallery.

I've made contact with them, will see where this leads.

Graham-- Looks like you've met with success; a quick scan of their website & I didn't find that image of your 993 any more

Not used yet, the best of my knowledge.
They wised up & starting using your sweet shot!
