Ha - me too bro! I’m loving the way they look, and the tires have been excellent. I haven’t found the limits yet - and believe me - I push the limit whenever I have a chance.Quote:

Had to take a break from studying to wash the ZHP. The Macan is my cousins car, which he absolutely refuses to wash. Attachment 33174
Caught this one leaving work the other day!

Atlanta gets cold enough in the winter to make heated seats practical; 30-40 degrees in January is common; http://www.rssweather.com/climate/Georgia/Atlanta/

Somehow this is the first time I've gone to a parking garage to photograph the ZHP. If only I could find my damn 62mm CPL :crying
That thing is absolutely, disgustingly gorgeous. Seriously. Everything you've done to it makes it look so mean yet b-e-a-utifulQuote:

Looks fantastic! Great shot too - lighting is perfect.
Thanks, William! It helps I washed it earlier in the day...and a quality camera and lens can make a world of difference too.Quote:

to my eyes at least, the LSB in this pic below and what Spenser posted make LSB and Estoril look much closer than they are-

I’ll have to try this again with the DSL and clean car. Not bad for an iPhone shot though!

Okay San, tell me if these look a little more Estoril. I don’t like them as much as the first one I posted, but the color is a little more accurate...

It was 94° yesterday, so you can send some of that June Gloom our way whenever you’re ready. With it this hot in May/June I’m absolutely dreading what August will be like.Quote:

yeah. my sister in SC wants to spend summers up here...Quote:

Ha, yup. I especially love the color in the 2nd pic. I’m guessing it’s a long exposure shot?Quote:

the more i look at that first photo, the more i want to make the Touring that color.Quote:
