If you have a Mac with iPhoto, just try a little "enhance" treatment and reduce highlights if necessary. That would sharpen them up a little. Nice shots regardless.

Seriously...non-vanity. Run of the mill issue. Someone has GOT to tell me what they read in this!

The 914 design is ageless. It's hard to believe that they last made that car in 1975--over thirty years ago. I always liked them. You're lucky to have one in such beautiful condition. I like them especially because there are many Porsche snobs who don't consider the 914 a Porsche. Ha!

Err OK... Hope I didn't read into this incorrectly -

In the more expanded form of a text based image, imagine five fingers on a hand, each represented by a number 7= bent 1= straight...

77|77 OFF = 'birdie' OFF

I am guessing that standard plates in SC are ABC 123, not vice versa? (three letters followed by three numbers - like on your 914) Maybe someone at the prison making plates got a "special" one thru...?! Or I have to apologize for having seen trash in a completely innocent combination of numbers and letters...!

My 914 is so much fun to drive. I also love the fact that the snobs deny us...

I'm not that clever! Good thinking though...I'll use that.

In SC you'll see both combinations. ABC123 and 123ABC

To my eye the .1 edition of the 997 is the best looking front and rear. Your photos are fine. Too often you get the over saturated, super wide angled and poorly cropped stuff that does not do justice to the car. Now that is said, if you had a polarizing filter....... JKA Nice, Tx
