Pics looks great, I'm glad I inspired you to go out and drive. I've heard a lot of this garage queen 
Some of the pics looks a bit dark, keep trying you'll get it right. Keep the pics coming, I don't know anyone of us will ever get bored looking at the beautiful 997's.

Thanks Mickfluff!
I am really happy with the look!
I tend to take care of it pretty well,LOL!
Thank-you..
I was looking at the higher resolution pics last night and found that the details of the car are still in those photos....maybe because I only uploaded the smaller files is why the pics loose some detail?!
Thanks for the compliment!
Anytime.....just gives me some notice on a nice weekend and I will be there........!
I will work on those next time out!
Yeah it turned out OK considering that 4 of the shots were way over-exposed so I could only use 3 but thank-you!
NOW this some funny S--T,right there!
So let me clarify.....
I am testing to see IF a Porsche that does not get driven much will break more often than one that does!
AND
Ed is doing JUST the opposite and driving the beans out f his,LOL!

I don't know how deep you are into photography, but here are some suggestions on some post-processing tools that may help. If you don't have it, you might want to look into getting Lightroom. It is great for processing raw images, and offers a lot of control over the finer aspects of image adjustment. Learning to use the adjustment brushes can open up big doors to you. One of the nice things about using LR is that you are never permanently changing your raw image.
Second, if you are using the Pshop products, the shadow/highlight tool can be really useful, especially when combined with the mid-tone contrast adjustment. Just be careful not to overdo it or you can create an unnatural appearance with halos. Using adjustment layers can be very useful if you want to get that deep into it.
Next, if doing HDR, make sure you start with at least three bracketed images - -1, 0, +1 - or better yet 5 bracketed images. Again try to avoid the telltale halos to avoid the overprocessed look. You can see the halo in the bridge support in your photo.
Good luck!

Here are a few with nothing more than the brightness turned up a bit so that you can see the curves of the car(side-skirts and rear spats)!
AND YES the front plate IS ugly...which is why I use earth magnets to mount it(NO BUMPER HOLES)...so I can pull it off for pics! YES I forgot to pull it off on a few pics,LOL!

I hope you don't mind, but I took your last shot and made some basic LR adjustments to show you what can be done with it. I also cloned out the signs and tree coming out of the roof using a basic Pshop tool. The results are not that impressive starting with a low res jpeg (multiple compression steps do not help either), but may show what can be done with photos that have very bright and very dark areas. If you'd prefer that I did not do that, let me know and I'll take it down.

I use light room and photoshop as well......the only reason I didn't photoshop or lightroom that one was to show how over exposed some of the areas were right out of the camera.I too use Lightroom to darken and lighten areas BUT In my first pics I wanted that darker look for the pic and not worry about all the details the car had to offer(more the overall shape and wheels)...like you in my first pics I photoshopped out the sign lying on the road,LOL!
Thanks again for your help!
