The silver Mini is gave you plenty of space on your side, but is literally stuck to the truck next to it on the right? John, are they scared of you?

Great story and pics, John! It's nice to have an SLR to complement a point and shoot. And when you're travelling in a 993, the SLR slips nicely behind the seats.

With the work done, you can still blitz the Colorado passes before the snow flies. We're looking at a run down into the Marias Pass next weekend.

Didn't feel like sitting in a stuffy cafe for lunch... went on a nice loop drive instead... this was shot on Deer Creek Canyon Road midday:

The caliper colours tie in nicely to the foliage.

It seems like that scene in Star Wars III or whatever it was when Anniken was slowly converted and Darth Vader emerged...

nice


I moved my front suspension setting to 5, leaving the rear at 6... less rough for street driving, but doesn't quite handle as well from what I've anecdotally tested... will keep driving and dialing in...

Well over the winter, I switched back to my 17 Cup IIs with the All Season rubber. Those were much nicer on the very cold Colorado dry mornings than the summer tires.
In Feb I replaced my rear rotors and pads with stock Porsche OEM parts. Very very easy maintenance work. My fronts were done with OEM stuff by the dealer when I picked her up last summer, so my brakes are fantastic.

Brought her out to Cars and Coffee Denver last weekend with my Summers back on and ready for the warmth:


There were some very nice P-Cars out as well as others.

Some choice 993 Pics:
