Draft – Early October- 2021
Greetings and Salutations,
What do the following films have in common? Le-Mans (1970,) Against All Odds (1983,) No Man’s Land (1987,) and Bad Boys (1994.) If you said Porsches that’s obvious. Full marks if your answer was a Porsche 911. Driven by Steve McQueen, Robert Redford or Will Smith the 911 has made its mark in popular cinema. Why the 911 trivia? It matched well with the month as Porsche launched their new 911 Carrera and Carrera S in October 2008.
In non-trivia news fall is fully upon us. As the leaves change, they make an excellent backdrop for photos of your Porsches. A perfect photo of your beloved 911, 944, 356, Cayanne, Taycan, or Boxster would look great on ARPCA.com. We are always looking for new submissions to feature and share.
~Best Regards
