dfarrow: Waldo is in Seattle. I don't think Steve ever had the chance for a picture of the two together before I picked Waldo up.

Doug,

Ignacio is correct... I had the two of them in my garage for a very short period (2 days?) and I was very, very busy, and didn't get to do many of the things I wanted.... like test driving Waldo after I broke in the turbos for Ignacio. Or taking pictures of the two cars. Perhaps Ignacio & I could meet halfway on the Coast sometime?

The Rennlister that did the 993 calendar (a fabulous job, btw) is BS911. I've asked him if he'd be interested in this project and to take a look at this thread. I hope that's OK.

<edit> When is the Porsche Parade... I'd love to drive up for that. Maybe a huge SoCal & NorCal caravan? Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Wow! I must say I'm honored to have a reason to be a part of the 993TT board. Thanks for the kind words and compliments Steve - and others.

If anyone wants to take this on as their own project, I certainly have no intentions on "monopolizing" the market. However, I also would be very open to doing this for a 993TT specific calendar as well if you'd like me to, or even find some middle ground where I could facilitate the technical aspects of data collection, image manipulation, or even just plain advice on what I found out about the 993 one. It did feature Rufus and ViperBob, so it can't be called specifically a non-turbo 993 calendar.

Hey! I looked at those pictures a million times putting this together, and just realized something... There are 2 TT's in the calendar. Both TT photos are taken "at speed" and all non-TT's are still. Is this some greater force at play? hmmmmm...

If the 993TT population is too small to support this calendar, then perhaps we could do a more general 911 Turbo calendar. This may even include some of the 996 and perhape 997 turbos, as well as 930s and 964 Turbos. All are great cars. What do you guys think about expanding this if necessary to get enough interest and to allow Brian to be able to do more than lose his shirt on the project?

Brian

Did you ever look into a weekly calendar, (52 Photos), that i mentioned to you?

12 seems way too few and 365, way too much.
