Couple of pics of me from last weekend
Last Saturday i decided to put the 335 through its paces in the Canyons.
I haven't been for about 2 months and there's a guy that takes pictures along Mulholland after you pass the Rockstore.
I'm not sure how i feel about this because the flash went off as i was turning but nevertheless he's capturing some decent photos:

_SPH4756 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
P.S - anyone know how to get me copies of those pics without paying the guy?!

Hey Chau,
It really is a great DD, it doesn't have the visceral driving experience like the 997 but it's not that much slower in the curves, even with the auto.
It did become frustrating as the car will not shift down above 2600 rpms or so when you want to use the engine to brake in conjunction with you using the brakes. For example, it will indicate that it changes gear but not actually force the change which means i was carrying slightly more speed into the corners in a gear that was too high. In the end i found it easier to compensate by keeping it in a lower gear at peak revs but this brings about another issue - even when you go into the steptronic mode and use the paddle shifters it will still change gears if you go past a certain point, which is less than ideal.
Overall i don't mind the car though i dislike the yuppie status of it but whatever. Pretty much everyone i know likes the car more than the Porsche for some reason, which is beyond me as i don't really think that much of it. As i've stated countless times it's a practical vehicle for me and suits my needs for now.

It's SoCal. You can have your top down 335 days out of the year. If it's hot out but you want some sun you can turn on the AC, or if it's cold out turn on the heat + seat warmers, a true die hard convertible fan rarely drives top up.
