Geez Sid, honestly you killing me with this picture!! I can't even imagine if after waiting all this time (especially in your case) to have it get all the way here and then have a storm tip the ship over and have all the cars be a total loss. Wow.
Potential bright side..... If you are a SCUBA diver. Imagine what a cool dive that would be!!

 

No kidding... sometimes we just get TOO much information here on 6!
Were you able to get the vessel tracker to work?
I'm checking the progress every few hours now.

I'ts almost out of the English Channel/North sea and heading our way...

 

Are you sending over a few "talents" over for the shoot?

 

No I can't get it working for me. Are you using marine tracker.com? That's what I'm using. I can look up the vessel name and it says North Atlantic, but if I click show on map it just shows a blue screen and says last contact was a day ago. I didn't see the option you mentioned for vessel tap. I'll try looking for another site that tracks them and see what I can find.

 

Yes on the way.... just remember to fold the taps out and blow hard, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes (per) to inflate.

I'm geeting that too now...
Go the "search" window at the top right, enter vessel name, hit search and a separate page will open... hit "show on map".
Right now she's goign a long at 18.6 knots (33 km/h)
Here's the info from the last history on file.

Ive downloaded some tracking app and ive been monitoring since Thursday ... However the vessel keeps disappearing ... and I freaked out cos yesterday it disappeared for 9 hours .. bad thoughts streamed into me head ...drunken captain.. pirates .. capsizing (the pic in earlier post did not help)

any ways its something to do with coverage of AIS land receivers at a particular point

 

Found some great shots of the 1963 901 (which became the first 911) side by side with a 991 C4S.
The very first one...and the latest.

Wow those are great pics and comparisons. Suitable for framing!

 

I saw these online too, they are just beautiful pictures. I am willing to sell my other kidney to the vintage 911. Sid, please check out Singer911.

I finally got some for the ship to show up. That is assuming my car is actually on that ship, still don't have confirmation from the dealer yet. However the tracker finally found it and here's the details.

Supposed to hit Davisville RI on the 14th. Here's hoping she's on that ship and the storm is all cleared out by then!

It's so freakin cool but so freakin expensive! I enjoyed this video a while back...CH does decent job!

 

OK, it's totally off topic but it goes perfectly with the natural flow of this thread and where our passion for the 911 takes us....sooooooo
Here's the video you guys were talking about + Sid's contribution... well kinda, one video was actually posted on the video thread by aljaberh and another is about another one of my favorite custom fabricators but I can't find the right video for him... this one is not bad though.

3 custom 911 fabricators... all with a totally different approach but all with a very defining almost polar opposite personality/character which translates perfectly in their art.
Variety is the spice of life!
Thanks for the orginal post MDC and Hothonda!

Enjoy!


edit... watch them in HD... just awesome!

Sid, These are FANTASTIC!! Great find!! I think I will need to make a collage and hang these in my garage

 

Hehehehe glad you like it!
Listen if you want to make some larger prints of these images click on any of the ones posted here and it will open up a new window at the original site.
There you'll find many, many more of this shoot (incl. int. pics) and if you click the red text below the pic "full image" it will display a high resolution (full screen) version...click-drag-release that onto your computer screen and you'll be able to get some pretty big, good quality posters printed for your garage wall!

Be sure take some shots of that and post it up when done...
Cheers!
