This morning I nipped out to get some milk and in the journey of 3/4 mile I saw the following
991.1 GT3 Yellow
997.1 Turbo GT Silver
997.1 C2S Grey
996 C4S Blue
I couldn't have been on the road for more than 90 seconds. I wish I could have taken pics of them all as in the sun, they looked amazing. Anyone else noticed an increase of exotica on their drive in?
Who's taken theirs to work today. Post a pic if you can of it in the sunshine.  _________________ 997.2 Carrera 2S GT Silver/Cocoa.

Mine's outside in the office car park.
Picture if you can a grey 996 C4S in an office car park, surrounded by scantily clad beauties from a nearby recruitment company catching some rays on their lunch hour (OK I made the last bit up, well the beauty bit at least) _________________ "911- the guilt-free supercar"

I use my turbo as my daily, do 15000 miles a year. Havent noticed an increase of exotica on the roads yet. The only other porsches I ever see are 2 boxsters also on their way to work, certainly no 911`s!
Have noticed a massive increase in motorbikes though this week. First bit of sun and everyones out on their bikes. _________________ 2008 997.1 Turbo Manual - 585whp thanks to do88 & 9e

That's a thought.......if you drove at the speed of light, would it prevent you from getting burnt? _________________ 2000 Manual 996 C4 Arctic Silver Convertible
