Default Porsche's Love Spring - Post up your Pics

So I started the "Porsche's Love Snow - Post up your Pics" and it has been a pretty good thread... but I am cold and this rain is just non-stop...what I thought would be a nice feeling is pics of the hibernating P-Cars waking up with some spring blooms and drives - sort of a "wake-up, it's spring" picture thread....

I actually dont have any of mine in the spring, maybe you do and would like to share some to brighten this grey weather up and give hope of warmer days to come..

I dont know:

Cool springy

You can tell it's spring because:
  1. The daffodils are up.
  2. The forsythia is just starting to bloom.
  3. The woodpile is almost gone.
  4. The winter deer have eaten the ivy off the beech up to about 5' high, and it hasn't grown back.
  5. The top is down!

I love the red 996 aero, THKLINGE. What a terrific photo!

Here's a recent photo of me with my 996 in the warmer weather at VIR during a Ronald McDonald House charity laps fundraiser last week.

It was a blast!

Here's a little San Diego action for ya, Ed. Pcar in the setting spring sun. Ahhhh...
I'll be back up in Seattle later this year and I'm looking forward to some rain when I get there, as sick as that may sound to you.

Going on a photo op rally this weekend, so should get more.

First autocross of the year in the new car:


If only the X74 had been available in the US! I've been in SP before, really don't want to go down that money pit (nor do I want my DD to be a race car -- been there). But removing some of that gap would sure be nice.
