991 Owners Cars

Thanks for the kind compliment - photography is my next biggest passion after my lifelong fetish for 911's. Please feel free to have a nose around my website ([link=https://jonpearson.wixsite.com/mycarsite]https://jonpearson.wixsite.com/mycarsite[/link]) where I stash most of my images.

stunning photos, do you post on Instagram.
I do - but not very much - the square format they use is not great for car pics. Instead I tend to put them up on my own little website - [link=https://jonpearson.wixsite.com/mycarsite]https://jonpearson.wixsite.com/mycarsite[/link].

 
Makes sense, but you want to get those pics out to the world. Sunday was a great event… will have a look at your page. Cheers

Amazing photos on your website Jon and some fantastic cars too...makes my iPhone photos look very amateur! Ever thought of offering your photographic services at the various PCGB events...sure there would be many owners who would like decent photos of their car(s) for a modest charge.

I appreciate that this is only a partially helpful answer, but you can post multiple non-square pictures to Instagram, if (IF!) they are all the same aspect ratio.

This does, however, fall apart when you've a mix of portrait and landscape shots, especially of the same car, that you want grouped. Or, if you're me, and have filled too much of the frame with car, and can't then crop to a consistent aspect ratio.

Summary: Instagram is a PITA, for sure.

Nice pictures BTW!

Yes I have tried that - here's one of a Silk Cut Jaguar that I did -> [link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBqCAVrw8N/?hl=en]https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBqCAVrw8N/?hl=en[/link]

Yes I have thought about doing this - not sure who to ask about it though (I'm not a very 'connected' member). The images I take are quite 'hi-res' so they could be blown up to make pretty large prints if needed - even a full wall covering is possible although that gets pretty pricey.

That wasn't quite what I meant, but that doesn't actually matter because HOT DAMN, that Jag picture is superb. Selling my cameras now.

 
Owned from new arrived in March 2018. First trip out she did 203mph at VMAX 200. Just picked up some shiny carbon wheels. Many male egos broken at VMAX 200 and she has never been tuned or anything. Just one mod I bought a Europipe 50 cel which makes her sound as aggressive as a GT2 RS. No problem at all with warranty claims Porsche Swindon and Hatfield have never fussed even when replacing faulty turbos etc.

^^^ Very cool video & I love the colour of your Turbo S! :)

Nice looking carbon wheels too! 😎

My Carrera T was new on 6th April 2018, so very similar age to yours! 😃

Have loved every one of the 42k miles so far, and I still smile every time I drive!

 
Love your t a gf of mine has a manual one in red. We both use ours as much as feasibly possible and other gfs have 992s. 4 eldest kids are getting too big for the school run but still squeeze them in like sardines. 5th on the way hence will fit a bit better. Quite a bit of carbon as standard on a turbo s so those new carbon wheels should flow nicely with interior. That pic at Topaz where they have been ppfd for me. Brilliant allrounder GT the 991- turbo s in particular is starship fast - love her. Pretty sure mine is the only UK turbo s cab in Gulf :)

 
my daughter used to love being dropped off at school in “daddy’s porsche”! lots of street cred with her classmates🤣

Mine is a manual too. :) My girls are 26 and 21 now, so getting a bit big to squeeze into the back of my T. ;-) The Turbo S has to be the ultimate GT. And that Gulf Blue is a real classic shade to have chosen! Congrats! :-D

 
I think turbo s is a close second to this beasty from Bentley. turbo s loses out a little comfort wise for cross continental trips especially with sports folding buckets and firmer ride quality. Sacrilege but I wouldn't mind one of these!
