I'll take the green Ruf car and the green Carrera
Need to spend another twelve years on my beard & hair and getting my baseball cap dirty enough first though.

Didn't even know this was on btw. Is it an annual thing? Do they do a total road closure?

I think these pictures go to show how horrible the new Porches are, old ones are stunning but I guess they also looked over the top in their day.

New one just looks like a Honda Accord, or some weird new Peugeot. Similar reduction in build standards too.

What sort of processing have you done with those? Some look good but others are difficult to look at because of the reflections.

Nice photos!
The YDD 911 is Readings restoration project. I saw it the other day on a tour of their OPC and it's absolutely awesome.

appreciate your feedback - I suppose processing is down to personal taste
However light is always the key - I guess some have better exposure/light than others

The new astons look terrific when they don't have shitty halfords style wheels on.

Saw that Drayson electric thing running at Goodwood... insane.
It went from standstill, to vaporising it's back tires in the time it took me to glance away from it and then back again.
