Monterey Pics from the dumpster...

Well, I climbed up on the refuse container enclosure to snap a couple of parking lot shots. (Sorry for the delay...I just got the computer set up in the new house...I really was living in the 911 for nearly two weeks) These are from early Friday evening (April 30, 04). The pics pan from left to right of the lot. My new (bought it just two days earlier) conda green 70T is center of the 9 car row in the first pic. The last shot is an action photo of Chuck Miller driving his 73'-S cpe #1099 - Matched # 2.7/9.5 RS spec rebuild and, Rick Cabell hanging on for dear life...with a smile on his face. :) This was taken Friday morning as we were heading north to Santa Cruz for a Roger Grago hosted/organized tour of Bruce Canepa's shop.

What a great time that was. Sooo many wonderful people and the greatest collection of early cars and car owners on the planet! Thanks Cris and all.

Shawn.

hey, those pics look horrible...what am I doing wrong here?

Shawn,

Thanks for sharing, sure am sorry I missed the Gathering this year.

Concerning your photos, what resolution did you take them and what did you reduce them to when you up loaded them? If you reduce them too much, alot of the detail is lost. I usually post 800X600 photos so it will fill the screen of most computers.

Cyber shot 5.0 Mega pixels. I have to reduce them to 25% to even get them hosted. My addiction to this site is the only reason that I even know that much techno computer stuff. I will see if I can fix them later today.

Thanks Brian, wish I could have meeet you as well. Shawn.

Who's Irish green car is that? I saw it driving through Devil's Slide on Hwy 1 the Friday before. I'm thinking of changing the color of my car from white to Irish green, and the one I saw just makes me want to do it more. (My original color was sepia brown, so a re-paint with a new color is acceptible.)

Irish Green...hmmmm, SUPER color choice! :D

.... "multitasking" by driving and shooting at the same time.....

No kiddin'. But the car still looks good with the contrast and brightness screwed up.

Hey, you mean there's something better out there than an old nikon point and shoot 35mm? I've been thinking digital, but wouldn't have a clue how to hook it to this old HP computer, or even if it would be compatable...the pic above was a scan of a color photo print, sent to me by a friend...

Look at the image of the other 911 in Paul's door. Let's build it!

Shawn,

Set up your digital camera to take 800X600 photos with medium or basic quality (that may mean breaking out the manual, sorry). That should creat images that can be up loaded to Pelican's site which I think is 100K max. for each photo.

For instance the photo above by lawik is 922X691 and is 86K. It more than fills my screen and the image is clear. The images you posted were more like 500X300, but were 89K. If you want to check the size of the photo, put your cursor on the image, right click and click on 'Properties', that will tell you where the image is hosted, size, type, etc. Hope that makes sense.

Nice car Paul, where do you buy one of those.;)

Hmmm... I'm starting to think that all the pic's of your car were taken in 1975 and that it's actually more like the burgundy / Viper green '72S that's on ebay right now :p

You can always buy yourself a Sony Mavica which uses a floppy disc rather than a memory card. No fussing around with uploading or getting pic's from the camera to computer.

Lars, I lightend your shot for you.

Shawn:

Love the pix, but I've gotta ask. How do you get more than one picture posted in a single post? I know that the Pelican site allows you to do that (post multiple) but this site only lets you do single pictures easily.

What is your secret? Oh do tell us. :D

larry

Larry,

He is able to do that because he used Pelican to host his photos. I can't attach more than one photo either so I almost always use the Rennlist site to host my photos that I post. If you follow the directions I posted above it will give the web address where the photo resides.

..It looks better...The reflection of my car in Shawn's door looks like I'm "chopped" and have 20" wheels...Hmmm,maybee some Bling,Bling's with spinners would be good?...I tried to lighten this picture of You ,Thorsten and Ray at the Laguna Seca sign...Let's see if it comes out OK...(Sorry Shawn,didn't mean to hi-jack your post...)../Lars...

Wait a minute. Who's car is the green one and who is that in the pic? I think I may be confused and don't want to mislead others.

The Vbulletin program that manages this forum, in it's stock configuration, only allows 1 image per post. It's the same program Pelican uses as well as several hundred other forums on the net.

However, I'm not as smart as Wayne. He has modified the code to allow multiple images. I asked him about this when we first started to use this program but he never responded (too busy I guess). There are other ways of posting multiple images but that entails using someone elses website to store their images (not illegal, but I don't want to rely on another website's public resources to store my pics).

I'm sure there's a kluge to do this but I don't have the resources (time and smarts) to go beyond what we have here. We'll probably do an upgrade to the current version in the next few months. Nothing anyone would notice, but an upgrade might cure some bugs that now exist (mainly with new members getting "approved" automatically on a consistent basis and being able to list real birthdates instead of everyone being 35 years old, which in my case is perfectly fine).

Sherwood

...wasn't very clear when I posted the reply to Shawn....

Hey Milt...The gentleman (with the camera) in the pretty Conda Green 1970 T is Shawn(Previously) from Alaska....My car is "mirrored" in his door since I took the pic from my car when we were heading up to Canepa's place....Sorry about that.../ Lars...

Thanks. I'm dense. Right after Paul's post, you said here "he" is. I shoud have given that some more thought. I guess fryardds (Brian) got the same message. Sorry Shawn. If I had been to Monterey, I would have known it was you.

I was just cruising along in the outside lane getting these great "drive by shooting" pics of the cars going by. Then here comes Lars and he is shooting back. The guy kept me laughing all weekend. Then he gets me on the road too. Here is Lars shooting back. Thanks bud. :D

WOW grat car!!!
Is ist gemini or blue-metallic? :)

U boyz talk to friggin much.....If U boyz would learn to keep yer yaps shut and let the pics do the talking...It's only when U boyz open yer pie holes that I can't resist jumping on like a fly on sh1+...such nice cars and such low wattage drivel....

A remark from the "man of heft and paste"? I'm just guessing it was another negative remark. Odds on it was. What an "ignoranus"! :D

I like Lars' car too, great color and the clear directional lenses sparkle in this picture. Good look.

Lars, good to spend a little time with you. See you at the next one...maybe the German AutoFest(?). Heidi and I will both be there.

"U boyz talk to friggin much.....If U boyz would learn to keep yer yaps shut"

Tabs--a perfect description of you and good advice to follow. Why not practice your own words of "wisdom".

Tabs was merely keeping his presence felt on this Board. He didn't want you to think that he had gone away. Forgotten or abandon you....

He also didn't think much of his efforts, it wasn't paticularily brilliant on his part...rather hackneyed if the truth of the matter be told. Almost like a form letter...

Winnie: Thank's,Yes... it's Gemini Blue..(I sent you a pm.)

Jens: Thank you very much.... I enjoyed meeting you too......(O'Boy...that TAB's guy s'gonna have a fit now.....)

P.S: Please tell Heidi to bring her sisters...

Here is one...

..You like...?.../ Lars...

LOVE the light "braces" !!!! Hinting that 150 or so is just the starting point of top speed...

I had the pleasure of having dinner on Friday night with Shawn and two others. We had a great time swaping stories and getting to know each other. I hopefully have attached a picture that I took at Laguna Seca of one of the cars.

Lars,

That is Greg Gustafson's #505 ... White&Green-W/Houndstooth sports seats...

Chuck ,
I have not contacted Greg since Monterey '98.
Can you ask him to e mail me via the board.
I first met him in Germany May '74.
TIA,
Dennis.

Lars, it looks like those stays are turnbuckles to both aim the lights and keep them that way. Veddy interesting!

I think the Kuhne & Nagle East-Africa Rallye RS (#19) had single stays on it's Cibie hood-lamps, but had internal aiming.

Dennis,

Please send me a PM with your e-mail...
Our buddy Greg doesn't frequent this board...:(

I'll be sure it's gets to him...

Greg is always telling me stories of his stay in Germany, including owning an RS before this one.

Cheers,

For reference . . .
