Since I moved I've yet to find a good place to shoot pics outdoors. Still not satisfied with these. Had to Photoshop the backgrounds and some foreground on these.

I'm not sure who manufactured this it starts with a "V" and then becomes illedgable. Its a darn nice casting though.

I'm not a big Porsche fan. Never liked the pan motors much, they leak and the heater system draws in the smoke from the oil that hits the heater boxes. They are unforgiving if you toss 'em into a turn wrong.

The 904 GTS was cool though. I first saw one in R&T during the LeMans issue back in 63? Maybe 64. Liked 'em ever since. I got this one off TheBay awhile back.

Pix still look good though. Prettiest early Porsche for my money. Manufacturer might be Verem(?)

OK yeah "Vitesse." Still a crappy logo. Really nice casting though.
