Help me find an old calendar photo?
I made this account just to ask this question and I know it is a bit of a long shot as well as a bit silly. Simply, I am trying to find a photo of a blue 996 Carrera that was used in a calendar. This specific photo is stuck in my head and I remember seeing it as a kid and at the time I told myself one day I would have that car. The nostalgia is hitting me really hard now and I have desperately scoured the internet for this photo but have not been successful. I figure if anyone could help it would be the fine folks at this forum. Since I was young I do not remember all the details but these are the details I do remember:
- The photo is of the car speeding along a road with green forestation on the side of the road. The photographer is behind the car so you can only see the back of the car.
- The car was a 996 Carrera, not a Turbo. It is possible it was a Carrera S or Carrera 4, I only remember seeing the word Carrera sprawled on the back (I thought this name was just super cool)
- The car was a bright blue color so likely either Cobalt Blue Metallic or Lapis Blue Metallic
- The year it appeared on the calendar was likely between 1998-2001

What do you remember of the calendar? Where were you at the time? How did you come across the calendar? In other words, local PCA chapters often do a calendar full of pictures of Porsche's. When I googled it, I came across some pictures from PCA chapter's calendars.

Raymundobaby,
Are you sure it was a poster.
Here is a video of a C4 that is blue.

This is the closest photo I have found online. Obviously this photo was taken much more recently, is right hand drive, and from the right rear three quarter view (vs from directly behind as I recall). It is possible (and unfortunately likely in my opinion) that the photo simply does not exist online. Just been bugging me to no end.
