Thats my favorite so far (Jamies)
I want to get some decent photos of my car but it spends more time off the road than on (not due to unreliability, just me taking things off and 'fixing it' etc!) and I usually forget to bring the camera when it is going!

That's lovely Jamies... Really captures the essence of going out for a spin! :)

If we're going along those lines then my favourite photo would also be the one that first caught my attention - that of the car in the auction catalogue (see below). Hubcaps off and Gulf stickers on, but I guess I was smitten enough to buy it! Hopefully I'll get some better pics of the car taken soon though...

By the way Bullett, you're partly to blame for my 912 ownership - I was the art director on that Classic & Sports Car shoot and yours was the first 912 I ever drove. Must have sown the seed!

This is mine. Needless to say I didn't take it! Lost the original file along with my job a year or so ago as I stupidly left it on my work laptop :oops: So just have a scan of a printout. It was the 40th anniversary photoshoot at Brands Hatch. Spot the other DDK'ers 8)

Martin, read about your 912 purchase in the latest issue of C&SC - glad to see you're embracing Porsche ownership and welcome to the good ship DDK. Look forward to reading about how things pan out with the '12 in future issues :wink:

Hopefully you'll join us on some of the Southern chapter meets (check future events for details) 8)

Taken last year at Harewood before dismantling it - I like this picture because a little girl said at the time of taking it "so they've made the same car for 50 years?..." :lol: (the 997 isnt mine hence deleting the reg)

p.s. love that picture of Jamie's car 8)

I found my fave pic of a 914. This is the image that confirmed I had to have one.

And I guess, so far, this is my favourite picture of my car. Need to get some action shots

wow there are some great shots in here and some great pro shots to..

Well I think I need to do some new ones. So with a slight win fall of late I have just bought a new DSLR camera. The Sony Alpha 18-70 75-300 lens so I hope to get some great shots later this year.

Arrrr the blue 912 ... yes nice car if I remember this is the one with the AJP engine.. and If I am right in saying I have one of your pictures on my wall of our 40 years of 912 ownership!!
