I will see if he can post it here.

EDIT: also for more cool pictures of Jerry driving the car taken by a Rennlister check out this thread.

Wouldn't that have been hilarious if when he got right next to Jerry...he was picking his nose

I wonder if the 996 had this much fanfare when production came to an end on it?

Probably, but in the form of celebration and rejoice that the suffering was finally over.

there’s a reason why Porsche messed with the 911 headlights shape only for 1 series. It’s called the 996.

yea that pic is epic we need posters of it. Jerry owns it of course. The black tip is more of a stunt I think and last us spec 993 or something. My 98 c2s has same month/year production date as that tip.

Fixed it....


Now if there were a few head shots of a few 993 rennlist regulars... Then it would be poster worthy!!!

December 97 I think is as late as it gets for US spec cars.

Really? If this is where we are at I have no words: https://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/...pe-c-12809.htm

"A well-equipped air-cooled 993 Porsche that could benefit from a fresh paint job." You think??
