Default Who has this poster?

I lived in Europe in the early 90s, and I can promise you no kids dressed like this where I travelled around. It seems like a mix of Preppy, Yuppy, Grunge, Skater and regular old 80s clothing that was popular in HS. And neither me nor my buddies had boards that pretty!

Was this a poor attempt at capturing 80s youth? I missed the 80s American Culture as I was an American in Germany then.

Love the car though

I do! That is one month of the 1995 Porsche calendar. That year it featured children. My favorite is the month with the 5 year old on his pedal car staring down an incredible riv blue 928 GTS.

I recommend picking up all the 968 year Porsche calendars. they all have great shots of 968s. There is always a coin included with each calendar. In 1992 the 968 was on the coin.

I was looking for some good 968 posters on eBay and pretty much all they had were the ones with the kids. Really cheesy marketing campaign.

Cool shot, cheesy as hell but 80's so, yeah.

"The Company" was terraforming LV-426 by the way. Huge fan. Get the extended cut if you haven't already.

Not trying to hijack thread but I have some nice 968 posters I collected when I was "one of you guys/gals" now all I can claim is that I was a past owner of some 968s If anyone is looking for 968 themed posters let me know mine can be for sale.

I had one of those but it was so embarrassing to own I gave it to my mechanics and they tucked away in some distant corner of their messy shop.
