The Editor of Porsche Post recently sent this message to the 924 Register - can you help?

Dear All,
I am acutely aware of the lack of your model(s) being featured on the cover of PP recently. This is not a deliberate policy, simply a lack of suitable images. Hence this plea.
Could you try and encourage your members to think of potential cover pics when they are out with their cars over the summer. There are some technical requirements.
Ideally the pic should be a transparency taken preferably on Fuji Velvia or Provia, Kodachrome 64, or Ektachrome Extra Colour, in that order.
The format has to be suitable for use in portrait orientation - cropping is a possibility.
We can scan from a negative - if it is an image shot on decent print film, alternatively a really sharp print in at least 10" x8" size may be suitable.
Digital images would have to have a file size of at least 1MB as a JPEG I think, we would have to accept the need for experimentation here.
My other request would be for cars in colours other than red, black, white or silver. We have not had a blue car for a while.
I do hope you will be able to help build up our resources in this area. I will try to take a selection myself at Eynsham, but it will be difficult to avoid a sameness to the background!
Best wishes,
Stephen Mummery

If you can help, contact Stephen at Club Office, it would be great to see a 924 gracing the cover of PP.
