Ah, gotcha. Ya see, photography is one of my hobbies and I always took my camera, usually a big Canon 1 series with a 70-200 f2.8 Canon white lens, so needless to say it stuck out. Few years back I snapped a pic of one of the "hot models" at the Porsche display from about 20 feet away, as did about a thousand others.

Well, she came walking up to me and said: did you take my pic?

I replied: I don't know. Did you get in the way of the 911 I was taking a pic of? Let's have a look."

So I turned the camera around, hit the playback button and there she was in the pic.

She then nastily said, "I'm not a model, I'm a spokesperson. Delete it."

The Bronx in me almost came out but I behaved.

I said, "you want it deleted? You see that little button on the bottom with the garbage can next to it? Press it"

And she did. And I walked away, with about ten other pics of her still on the card. But that was such a turnoff, I erased the rest.

I was at the Porsche preview event on Friday morning which showcased the new 718 Boxster. The also had a nice Macan GTS. The 911 in Graphite Blue Metallic was stunning in person. What a great color.
