Default Is my front end too big?
A age old question--similar to the old "is my b--- too big?"

The front end of this 997 takes on a different look.

1975 to the left, Bentley to the right.

Dan,

That pic makes the front end of your car look to be as long as a V-12 Jaguar XKE.

What camera and lens? I'm assuming 24mm or less.

Nikon D3, and the ultra rare Nikkor AIS 13mm f/5.6 lens. Widest in the industry. Here's what it did to the neighboring Bentley...

Just changed my screen background shot from one of the last photos you posted to this one. You may want to start a new biz - compete with Peter Lik, but all Porsche art. Just don't charge Rennlisters......

We are fortunate to have some serious iron in this town. A simple cars and coffee get together, brought a 1955, 1954 and 1956 300SL together. I have another friend with another silver one and will have to get him to come as well some Sunday! Great fodder for photographers!
