Happy holidays, everyone.

What a gorgeous fleet of pristine 911's!

Welcome to Carpokes Dave!

@blueline - just a few hours north of the Detroit metroplex, MI communities assume a Jekyll and Hyde character - brimming and bustling with people during late spring through the end of the leaves, and sparse as Death Valley during winter. There are a few exceptions, including skiing complexes and temporary increases during hunting season. I'll tell you this - I would not want to be sitting behind the wheel of an RV during a whiteout up there - I was driving an SUV when a huge dump truck with a giant V-blade nearly killed us a couple decades ago. When you see those tall lights, it is your job to move out of the way - even if you know nothing about snow plowing procedures in the north country.

I won't be getting any more images of the 935 with its completely refinished BBS E28 gold wheels until next spring, but I was lucky enough to have a pro photographer shoot some images of my Alfa Romeo 4C. The shots are instructive regarding the perspectives and settings the photographer chose, and may help forum members improve the photos of their cars:

Beautiful Alfa! Your photographer did one heck of a job - great shots indeed!

This is my 1986 backdated 911 Carrera. I purchased the car from DK Sportwagen in Germany. Still familiarizing myself with the car.

@Borfant - thanks for the images of your beautiful Porsche. What are the custom attributes added by DL Sportwagen?

Oh my goodness! That's awesomeness personified Borfant - just beautiful. I bet it's a riot to drive too. (Your familiarization process is probably one made in heaven...)

Thanks for posting and sharing the striking photos.
