Re: Picture of the Month #3
Nice shot! Who took the pic if you were behind the wheel of your new toy? Where they in the back of a pick up?

That front tag hurts I hate to see the front of our crocs get mangled. I understand its the law but IMO it kills the line. I have been pushing the envelope since we have been back in MD. Knock on Wood no Red and Blue lights yet!

Fantastic photo and great choice. Makes me proud to be a member of this community that likes to show off their Caymans being used as cars in great locations.

I know, but I didn't know they were going to take pics during the drive. I took it off for our Christmas card picture last year though.

Re: Picture of the Month #3
That really is an incredible shot. It looks like something Porsche would take themselves. The softness of the barrier and blur of the pavement capture the motion so nicely, yet the car and landscape are pretty sharp.

The composure is great too. I was speaking to Brad (beez) about it and he was explaining some fine points of composure, and I learned that when trying to capture motion, you don't want to be cropped too tightly on the subject. You need to provide some space and this picture demonstrates this very well.

So I see that I'm not the only one who thinks a Cayman is worthy of photos placed in the family holiday card or letter! Unfortunately I didn't get to follow through on this desire. It wasn't worth the fight that would have ensued with my bride.

(To her a car is nothing but a means of transportation... Poor, confused & lost soul!)

Re: Picture of the Month #3
That's a really good shot. You should have it made into one of those "Fathead" life-sized vinyl graphics, and hang it on your garage wall!
