Small Story - Weekend Pics with Project 997TT

I decided to take some photos of our Porsche 997TT with the new completed aero kit. The Vorsteiner front bumper, TechArt side skirts, and MAShaw GT2 wing were an odd pairing that simple shots could not describe. After I got the car all cleaned up and the new 3M clear bra installed, it was time to take some good high res shots. Sunday was a bit overcast but I headed out to the end of Pecos Road where I could get some good desert pictures. The equipment... Canon 20D, remote flash, 45-100mm lens. I set up on the edge of the road and took some snaps. After about 10 minutes, a guy pulls up in an Escalade and says, "Is that a GT2?" I told him it was just a twin turbo. He said back to me, "I have an MV Agusta, all go get it". I said to myself, "cool, some exotic car". So I kept taking pictures and he returned on this Italian super bike that was truly amazing. Shows what I know! Twin front Brembo brakes, quad exhaust, and apparently it is fast as hell. The whole time I thought he was coming in a car! We talked, did some more photos, and were truly impressed with one anothers vehicles. This common bond that brings strangers together is why motorsports is truly a global language.

Looks absolutely MEAN Dan.

Time to do a phosphorous-maroon "Vivid Racing" sticker for the front window though.

It would GLOW in red at night.

Car is coming along quite nicely Dan!
I still need to see that Vorsteiner front in person, might be the pics that are playing tricks on me.



And the MV Agusta is my favorite bike out there!
17,500 redline!!
