Jim B’s latest hotness
Guest contributor Jim Bauer recently picked up this flat army green beauty, which we think captures his ethos perfectly:
So now his garage looks like this:
So indescribably badass. We hope to have more on this (and of this) in the near future.

Done right, olive drab paint jobs look the business. Done wrong they look victimized by a can of rustoleum. This is done right.

Is this Dave’s old car?

That s30 is absolutely gorgeous. The flat paint just kind of steps out of the way and allows the gorgeous lines of the s30 to take the spotlight. Somehow, 930’s and s30’s always seem to look ‘right’ next to each other.

…’cept it’s not a 930 😉 (it’s a naturally-aspirated 911)

Awww, I was close-ish. I just don’t know my German cars well enough.

Those golden/titanium wheels just set the whooooole thing off so perfectly

What are the wheels up front? Definitely not the same as the Watanabe’s.
Car looks great!

almost looks like staggered fitment but in reverse, with the rear wheels up front. maybe jim will see this and comment.

Yeah I agree they look backwards. The lips are totally different. thats what caught my attention.

That is one mean green machine.
On a random note is this Jim Bauer of Odyssey BMX fame??

Thought I recognised the name and the 911.
I used to ride BMX and shoot BMX photographs. I’m now in to my historic motor racing and shoot automotive photographs instead with a little bit of the BMX in between.
