Wow, stunning as usual.
Maybe you could make a trip to the East Coast to take some pictures of mine and teach me how to take pictures while you're at it!
How much PS work do you do on these shots?

Do you and you're dad go out for drives? Do you ever switch cars and what is yours and his impression between the two cars?

I think the lens would be hard to compare against yours. I think Nikon also makes a 24-70. I am still a pretty amateur photographer so I am not sure what the exact differences would be. I think typically a lens with a shorter range is going to be sharper at some focal lengths than a lens with the really wide range , but not always. I just try to experiment a lot and get some good results every once in a while.
As for comparing the 2 cars, my father just got his running this past week and is still dialing in the engine and calibrating it to his liking. We will definitely go out on drives in the future. I think the main thing that stands out is how the cars are made. I think the roadster dripping wet may weight around 2000lbs. It's made of all sheetmetal and there really isn't any plastic on it. I love how simple the dash is. The gauges are like pieces of jewelry to look at it. It only has the bare bones necessities and definitely gives a true drivers feel when driving. Also, with the weight in the rear, you can really throw the rear end into corners much like 911's.

Awesome cars, lovely pics and great comps with your environment. I actually prefer the 356...great color combo and just something to putt around in and taking in the sights. The Spyder is pretty sweet too!
And BTW...clean your camera's sensor, it's dirty.

Mile,
Dynamite combination! I really like Boxster Spyders, and I have a '62 Roadster myself. See if you can figure out what my username means.
Few quick questions for you: what are those bumper guards, what seats are in there, and is the wood wheel an Les Leston or a slotted-spoke VDM?
