Spotters Thread!

[rs911t]

Well, it is that time of year and I think it is time to start up a spotters thread. Not just for Porsches, but for other beautiful cars! Arent we all car guys?

i couldn't agree more.
sorry for shuffling things around but i'd like to gather all of these into one place. }{





At the intersection of Spring Hill Road and Old Dominion. You honked, we waved, then you headed east(?) on Old Dominion. Send me a PM.

[jbailey930]

Hi Greg
it was not me, but I saw your car at Intersport. Very nice. Artie started it up after his work and the sound was great. I was checking on my engine at lunch. Perhaps you saw Kurt Mickelwait, that is if the other was a 912 with lexan splitter and spoiler. :D

[rs911t]

Thanks John. No, I don't believe it was Kurt. I only saw the front and it didn't have his Lexan splitter, nor rollbar, etc. Pretty sure it wasn't him.

[Rick Lee]

Maybe Kurt had removed the Lexan for his next movie. :wink:

[rs911t]

On east-bound Rt 123 near McLean, around 4:15 this afternoon. Beautiful blue, early 911 with chrome wheels and hubcaps.

[Jim Richards]

We'll likely drive the purple 73E tomorrow. Keep an eye out for us!

[rs911t]

What?! You didn't drive it today?! :?

[Jim Richards]

I screwed up. I won't let it happen again, I promise. 8)

[Marc A]

While we are BSing about cars spotted, I thought that I should point out that there is an imposter in Reston, so please do not become confused. It looks like a certain black '77 Targa, but without the 3.2 badge.

The imposter's driver has even gone so far as to shave the top of his head to make the counter fit complete . . . . so beware.

[Jim Richards]

But does he drive with the same enthusiasm as you Marc? :shock:

[Marc A]

But does he drive with the same enthusiasm as you Marc? :shock:


Dunno . . . . couldn't catch up to him :lol:

[Charlie Stylianos]

Was it this one?

??

[rs911t]

Charlie, that may be it. You know who?

[Jim Richards]

Greg...4:04am. Don't you sleep man? :shock:

[Trak Ratt]

If this is from the last DE the car is a ’72 T w/MFI. 6X15 painted steel wheels are unusual. I’ve been looking for a set (that don’t cost as much as the car) for our ’71 for years. I believe he said he was from Middleburge or some point west of here. It was pretty stock, no sway bars, stock bushes, but w/a pair of Kirky racing seats

[rs911t]

Don't you sleep man?
Not if I can help it. Too many wasted hours sleeping when I could be out driving :wink:

[Charlie Stylianos]

Greg,

This was taken at the 03/15 DE at SP.

[Vicegrip]

Not me. This means that there are at least 3 Green P cars in the area. Damm, I had no idea it was a common color...

[Jim Richards]

Did ya see the purple one today?

[rs911t]

Did ya see the purple one today?
No! You drivin' around my neck-of-the-woods? Glad to hear you're out driving Barney! He likes that, you know.

[Vicegrip]

Which "one" Dino or Barny? :wink: You got a good point you don't see Aubergean, Auboergene, Aubrygeen.... purple too often.

it is far too nice to be in front of a computer, I am goin drivin.

[BW911]

I thought Jim called the purple car Tinky Winky.

:roll:

- Bill

[Jim Richards]

You guys are brutal! Just to set the record straight...Lu calls it Dino. If that's what she wants to call it, that's good enough for me. Now what you guys call it is certainly up to you. :wink:

It was nice going out during lunch with the windows down and the sunroof open. Yes early car guys, it has a working sunroof. Very nice on a day like today. Makes me forget I even have a 993. :wink: :wink:

[rs911t]

Yes early car guys, it has a working sunroof
While at Intersport yesterday, Charlie told a couple of us a great story about loosing a sunroof while on a test drive...

:lol:

[Jim Richards]

Thank goodness I know where our sunroofs are. I hate to leave them lying somewhere and then drive off. I do sometimes forget where I put my glasses. :roll:

[Vicegrip]

I bet it was a 944. I had one come through Tech with one that would lift up and almost out at speed.

What you mean "you early guys" my sunroof works just fine, tested it today. :D

If Lu wants Dino then Dino it is. Easer to spel than Auber..ohfuggetaboutit.

[SRISER]

Who was the Porshephile in the black targa (?) heading south on Ridge Road towards Glebe today? I was in the Red 911 going up the road...cool of you to "say hey"...

[Dan M]

That might have been me, I did take my 1970 911 out on Tuesday and remember passing a 911 and waving. I was driving out west of Leesburg though. Did it look like this? I would have had the top on too.

http://www.pelicanparts.com/pmpre/images/dan_morton/front.jpg

[SRISER]

No it was a Carrera...but your 911 is really great looking. You should post a couple more pics. Love to see the rest.

[Dan M]

Here are a few more pics. I added the ducktail and front spoiler this year.

1970 911T Targa

[Charlie Stylianos]

Dan,

Nice car:)

What are the guages in the console?

[Mackpipes]

Nice gauge package on the console. Tell us what you got.

Ted

[Dan M]

Thanks guys.

They are VDO gauges installed by the PO (Oil temp, Oil pressure, Cylinder Head temp, Voltage, and Clock). It looks to me like it is a vinly covered fiberglass console and it ties into the base of the shifter knob and goes back to the hand brake. I'm not sure where he bought it but he spent a small fortune with Performance Products so I'm guessing they are the source. I really like the console and the shifter boot.

If you like, I can try to find a few minutes to snap some closeup shots later this week.

--Dan

[Charlie Stylianos]

If you like, I can try to find a few minutes to snap some closeup shots later this week

Dan,

That would be great. I'm looking for a place to mount some guages, namely an A/F mix and CHT gauge.

[William Miller]

While we're all looking, what's the rectangular cover on the dash?
Is that a speaker cover?

[Dan M]

Here are more pictures.

William, yes that is the speaker cover for the single speaker...really cranks out the tunes! :lol:

http://hometown.aol.com/danmorton1/images/guage3.jpg

-Dan

[William Miller]

Is that a 6X9?
I'm constantly searching for a place to put some decent size speakers in my car. I can't use the rear deck because it's the firewall. Mine's a Cabrolet. I have speakers in the door panels and in the panels next to the rear seat. It's probably a little better than the single speaker in your dash, but real tinny.
I like the gauge set!

[William Miller]

Charlie, I was thinking that we could make a simular panel for the A/F meter and one or two of the other functions. If we just use the top 3 inches of the box we can still use the bottom half to hold junk.
Do you have AC switches on the top part of your's?

[Dan M]

I don't know the exact measurements off hand but it's smaller than a 6x9 more like a 4x6. I think they stopped using these in '74. I wouldn't suggest going with this since you would have to modify your dash and the added sound wouldn't be that great.

-Dan

[KeithLambert7]

That might have been me, I did take my 1970 911 out on Tuesday and remember passing a 911 and waving. I was driving out west of Leesburg though. Did it look like this? I would have had the top on too.


Dan,

I think it was me. I passed you on Dry Mill (?) and flashed you. I was driving the red '89 911.

Keith

[Dan M]

Yeah I know that was you...can't mistake the ear to ear grin :lol:

I've been seeing you buzz around quite a bit lately too. Spotted you in Leesburg with your 356 a couple weeks ago and at the rt 9 over pass when I was on the bike trail and you were in your '89.

--Dan

[William Miller]

Dan, the speaker location wouldn't work anyway. I looked on the way home yesterday and I have a vent above the radio. I'm sure the duct is in the way.
Thanks!

[87turbolook911]

William,

If your interested in upgrading your tunes, let me know. Mine is a cab as well. I've got a pretty decent system in mine and could give you some info.

[Marc A]

William,

UNDERSTATEMENT :twisted:

[William Miller]

I would love the secrets on the tunes!

[Quentin]

Who was giving me the thumbs up with that white 930 turbo Sunday afternoon near the 495 exits? Nice car, impressive speed and maneuvering to get up along side me. Didn't mean to give you a ricer flyby just wanted you to hear my baby. 8)

[VaSteve]

On my way to Sterling and back last night, I saw not one, but two 911 Targas. First was a dark blue SC heading west (with the top on). Second was a black Carerra heading East to the beltway (with the top on). Was that any of you guys? I have never seen a blue SC before, pretty cool.

[Doug E]

Blue SC's rule :)

Check the gallery as there are plenty of pics of my girl.

[VaSteve]

Blue SC's rule :)

Check the gallery as there are plenty of pics of my girl.

Oh that's right. I meant it was a dark blue SC. Like the one in "Scarface" (in the background when Pacino is buying a FEWC 928)

[Maurice P]

you guys would be surprised, but there's a healthy amount of SC's and Carrera's squirreling around - here in downtown.

many are daily drivers. just yesterday i spotted a nice silver SC coupe, a red Carrera, and some guy on my block has a red SC targa.

i think they all appreciate their 911's - but aren't as excitable as we tend to get... :)

There's one or two reds ones I have seen several times near Union Station. Saw a "seasoned" S a couple of weeks ago parked a few blocks away.

I think it would be hard to find less rabid enthusiasts than this bunch. Some of claim the 911 scent is their "cologne". You know who you are. :lol:

[targa911man]

There's a rusting green 911S I frequently see parked in Manassas around the intersection of Liberia and Stonewall. Never seen the driver. It looks like a perfect candidate to fix up for the track.

[Cliff Claven]

Hey, that could have been me. Except my top is always on. Dark blue 81 SC Coupe. Sport suspension, cloth seats. Imported from Germany into New Orleans in 86 under the old one-time exemption rule. Later moved to Buffalo and kept in a heated garage where she slept peacefully for about twelve years, driven sedately in nice weather. Then to me. New synchros, vacuum lines, chain tensioner upgrade, turbo tie rods, stainless steel exhaust, miscellaneous adjustments and fixups, and ready to roll.

[Jim Richards]

I spotted a lovely red longhood 911 heading south on Fairfax County Parkway (south of I66) Sunday. Who's that? :D

[Chronos]

Last week in the morning I saw a red long hood on the Dulles toll road heading East. I wonder if it was the same one?

I also saw what appeared to be a backdated red 911 heading east on the tollroad; had a later model Carrera tail and tail lights.

[Trak Ratt]

They’re mine... or will be eventually 8)

[Vicegrip]

Dave, Too funny. likely true too.

I saw a parking lot just filled with Porsches yesterday! 911s, 911 turbos, Cabs, Boxsters, Pepper pots you name it. All late model and looking good too. I was looking to see what the reason for the gathering was when I remembered that I work for HBL and I was in the Porsche showroom looking out at the lot...

I am a diehard long hood guy but I have to admit that the 997s look real good.

[sccaracer]

Spotted one black late model and one red earlier model on the Dulles Toll road. Sunday around 6:00 PM. Looking goooood! Cheers, Rich

[Trak Ratt]

BJ reported seeing a black Turbo Targa with a nicely developed engine fire last night on the VQ beltway

[Charlie Stylianos]

Saw a white Targa w/ polished Fuch's pulled over on the shoulder of 495 innerloop on Saturday. Sorry, would have stopped but were on our way to Baltimore in formal attire....yack.

[Charlie Stylianos]

I'll add my obligatory x2.

Saw a dark blue Carrera/SC on the corner of Washington Blvd and Patrick Henry yesterday evening. Didn’t look like you Matt, unless you cut your hair way short.

[racer]

While traveling North on 28 near Dulles Airport, I saw a 914 "GT" heading south. Around 9:45 am. Gray haired driver. Black car with Flares. Silver or chromed wheels. Looked like fun. Anyone recognize the description?

mmm 914 :)

[Justin Fischer]

Sounds like Frank Greg. If so, it's got a 3.2 with a 915, and he's running 8 & 9x16 fuchs. Great car! I have a pic somewhere.

-Justin

[88carrera]

Tag read GRY WLF. Driven by a cute, very enthusiastic woman who waved and blinked her lights.

Car was nice with blacked out center rims.

[Doug E]

Based on the tag I'd say that would most likely be Miriam S ... still to this day one of the best DE instructors I ever had.

[Trak Ratt]

True, a very good; instructor, driver, enthusiastic, articulate… all true! She been doing this for so long she has a permanent parking space at SP (for her broom).

[Chopper Dropper]

That's miriam on her Grey Broom. Chief instructor with Doctor John with Audi club at present I think. Still runs Zone 2 HPDC
Dirk

[Vicegrip]

We are not going to let you forget that you called her cute! ;)

[cmartin]

LOL

I thought the same thing Kurt

[Vicegrip]

I think introductions are in order.

[cmartin]

That would be a fun blind date

[Trak Ratt]

That would be a fun blind date
If that’s the case MikeW and I have THE women for you!

[Mike W]

If that’s the case MikeW and I have THE women for you!

:shock: :vomit: :lol:

[Justin Fischer]

OK, not mine, but here's a pick from Potomac webpage:

http://www.pcapotomac.org/images/DM2004/dm10.jpg

He running different Fuchs with the frosted RSR finish now.

[JmuRiz]

Wow, that's one bad ride...how come he never comes to 914 events :(

[Justin Fischer]

Wow, that's one bad ride...how come he never comes to 914 events :(

He doesn't really frequent any of the boards. He attends some of the PCA events on occassion. I met him at a club race back in 2001 while his car was still under construction. Pictures don't really do it justice.....

[racer]

That does look like the one I saw.. but from 4 lanes away with our closing speed close to 120mph, I could be mistaken ;)

[brianr]

blaaaaccchccchhch!

[Racer29]

Should make nascar happy......probably good aero.

[Mackpipes]

Does Ford own Austin Martin?

[Mike W]

Yes. Amazing to me that the Taurus, Jaguar and AM now look the same (or similar enough to loose any unique styling cues). Brand management to the rediculous.

[cmartin]

I thought they stopped the Taurus line, isnt the Fusion the new Accord fighter?

[racer]

The first pic is actually of the New Jaguar XK.. not a Taurus as stated (for comedy's sake I assume :) )

[cmartin]

I'm slow today

[Mike W]

Oh. I'm not smart, just in case you were wondering. :oops:

[brianr]

The first pic is actually of the New Jaguar XK.. not a Taurus as stated (for comedy's sake I assume :) )
Yes it is.
Ford owns Jag. And if you look inside a new Land Rover(Pick any) you'll see a nice Ford "inspired" steering wheel and dashboard. They own Aston Martin too. Prt ofthe "Premiere Automotive Group".

[racer]

Ford has their hands in alot

1) Aston Martin
2) Jaguar
3) Land Rover / Raonge Rover
4) Mazda
5) Ford
6) Lincoln
7) Mercury
8 ) Volvo

[realroadrage]

I agree that the new Jag leaves a lot to be desired, but I would never mistake it for an Aston Martin.

[.:programmatore:.]

...on International Drive in Tysons. Fayence Yellow with German touring plates -- Euro Delivery maybe? I was stuck in traffic so I wasn't able to get a closer look but it looked and sounded great. It was the first time I saw one on the road.

[Trak Ratt]

Likely Kurt using his new “company car” to run over to Mc Master Carr (sic) for some HVAC fittings:mrgreen:

[Richard Curtis]

i think this is the same one I saw on Route 234 Bypass north of Route 28 about 2 months ago.

[VaSteve]

[maxwell]

yellow nice! I saw a GT silver one right by Cherner classics in Great Falls this weekend. Actually, I heard it, then turned to see it driving away. What a car.

[vove]

Saw a yellow one on 66west bound a few weeks ago, that thing was smokin'..the way that car sounded was amazing.

[racer]

Darn.. I can't leave my house without getting spotted by Dorkis ;)

[Sofast]

Well, it is that time of year and I think it is time to start up a spotters thread. Not just for Porsches, but for other beautiful cars! Arent we all car guys?

I saw:

930 Bright Yellow with Chrome Twists - Car was beautiful, but twists are definately out of place on a 930 - These cars were made for some deep dish rims!

Lambo Murci - Arancio Atlas Mic 2CT(Orange)

Both cars were out last night in the Reston Town Center - 7 oclock-ish

[BlackTalon]

Today I saw:

About 150 Porsches! :-)

[My87Targa]

twin turbo infinity G35, saw it on rt 40. stopped and talked to the guy. cool guy with a nice car. 422hp to the wheel on pump gas. i liked it.

[986SChris]

At Reston Nation Golf course today:
911e targa silver
968 cab black
993 cab white

Toll rd, behind me:
SC? Targa Burgandy w/ Md. tags

Me: Blue 986s

Anyone we know?

[John Clay]

Sunday, the wife and I driving the kids around wishing we were with the 150 Porsches. Saw four 944s. Guards red, late morning, Bowie Mill Road in Olney. Guards red, Redland Road. Sunday afternoon. 270 southbound, on a trailer....probably red again, including some primer gray. Rt 121, Clarksburg...slighty cosmetically challenged gold.

[realroadrage]

Thanks to a generous Dorki, I got to see the inside of a 997 (Carrera S) from the driver's seat for about 25 miles on the way home from Summit Point on Sunday. All I have to say is, holy sheeizzle!!!

[Mike W]

Maroon 944 on Vale Rd in Vienna on Sunday.

[wludavid]

I saw a the Dorki "HOV-2" in his Boxster a few weeks ago. Does that count?

[markwemple]

A black bugeye (eventually to be old english white-the original color) in my driveway!! I shouldn't brag but its so cool just having it here in time for my dad!

[}{arlequin]

I saw the black hood of a cool looking SC all the way home from work today. Sunroof and windows open, classic rock on the stereo, pipes singing a happy song :D Does that count:?:

[Lupin..the..3rd]

There's a night club on Newhampshire Ave. just south of Dupont Circle where I regularly see a yellow Lambo Murci and a black 996tt parked on Saturday nights.

[Eli]

I saw Kurt's 912 on "Spy Wars" last night on TV!!

I watched the same thing. Have the movie on DVD, but end up watching it every time it's on...

[Richard Curtis]

I've watched "Spy Wars" at least three or four times now and all but the first one because I knew that one of the green 912s that Redford drives was Kurt's. Kurt told me that the filmmakers used two different cars and I forget which scene was the one with Kurt's.

[}{arlequin]

i believe there were 4 cars used

[Rick V]

I saw 10 Porsches from all years. Some were stock some were not. They looked like some kind of yuppy gang. Instead of flying colors they were all flying stupid grins. Fuel tanks topped off with testosterone, 50hp shots of adrenaline and some very creative driving to stay togeather no matter what traffic and lights they ran into. ( gotta love the way they took over the 2 lane road in Winchester) This gang must have been threatening looking since people who saw them started to sport the same grins and little old ladies ( in green escort wagons) held the road for them. People in vans were so scared they almost ran off the road trying to get out of the way. Whats this world coming to? :)

[TD in DC]

I saw this beauty parked diagonally in two spots at Home Depot. Carbon Fiber hood, mismatched body panels, hand painted brake calipers . . . in short, the real deal. But the real thing that caught my eye was the license plate frame, which said, I quote, "Let the a$$ kicking begin." That sounded like fun to me. If I had not had my three year old daughter along, I might have just waited around for the a$$ kicking. :lol:

P.S. It is amazing how low and small my car looked in comparison to that "sport compact."

P.S.x2. What a loser 996 owner taking the pictures! Note the Starbuck's cup in the reflection. Good thing the Porsche has cupholders. :lol:

[Lupin..the..3rd]

I saw this beauty parked diagonally in two spots at Home Depot. Carbon Fiber hood, mismatched body panels, hand painted brake calipers . . .
Most of his "upgrades" probably came from Home Depot. :lol: I'll bet he was there for some PVC to build a "roll cage" out of. Or maybe some 2x4's to build side skirts and a wing. :lol:

[TD in DC]

I was amused that he and the 300z or whatever it is next to him both get away with parking diagonally and taking two spots. If I tried that I am 100% certain the car would be keyed by the time I came back out.

[87turbolook911]

And the irony of all this is the guy was probably walking out of Home Depot and saw this Porsche owner taking pictures of his "whip". I'm sure you made his day :)

I was thinking, HOLY SHIT, that sounds like us. Then, I realized, it was...

[Rick V]

I have had a good couple of days in the eye candy dept. Yesterday I saw a sweet 71 911e going through a rehab (the right way!)
An 80 SC being put on an eye catching diet with some sweet backdating.
An 81 SC in a nice shade of light metalic blue.
Today I was followed in traffic by an arest-me-red 356, man that kid was a joy to look at!
I finished my day going over a. 85.5 944euro.
We also had an all origional 1949 Studabaker pickup with 42k origional miles a real garage queen!
Sometimes it is good to be me

[wludavid]

Saw it this afternoon heading north on Washington St. Silver paint, with 1958 antique tags. Is that anyone here?

Nice car, if it is. :D

[Trak Ratt]

Sounds like the guy down by use in Mt Vernon. Long time PCA member named Bruce. Had the car for like 30+ years. Also has a very nice 928GT.

[brianr]

I have seen it too. Nice. Quite a few Porsches around old town, I work there. Are the people there rich? :) I see some guy going north to DC every morning in a RHD Late 60's early 70's Rolls, nice commuter car.

[BillJ]

There are quite a few very nice 356's hidden away in Old Town ;-) Have seen a couple myself in their p-cave, and must say that there are some very fine enthusiasts there.

[flatsixcrazy]

Yep,
Oldtown is where I spotted my first Porsche and got me into this freakin' addiction. It was a mid-year 911 turbo and was parked in the driveway of a townhouse on Union Street (just before you get to the volleyball park).

[EvilBunny]

whilst stuckin the hell like traffic on braddock rd this am. i saw a Green '70's 911..WHO WA SIT!?

I tried my damndest to catch up..but could not..i just wanted to hear it at the least, but i failed with my all powerful 40hp diesel.

So was it anyone on here? beautiful car!

[Dr K]

Did it look like a lizard?

[EvilBunny]

sure did..it was gorgeous. low, old and totally sweet!

[}{arlequin]

not me. i don't know where konoha nor braddock rd are. plus, i'm all packed, clean, and ready to go. did it have a roof rack?

[EvilBunny]

no roof rack..where are you going }{?

konoha isn't a place.. i live in sterling. work at the PCA headquarters.

damnit..lucky bastards. if i didn't have my son all weekend. i would check it out, atleast to watch. taking him down is not an option, unfortunately.

[}{arlequin]

kids love vroom vroom noises...

[EvilBunny]

that they do..my boy can point out turbos, gear box and someoteh rlittle things
i got him to hear spool and yell booosstt!!!

and he gets that "i'm gonna die" face in 2nd gear. well..he used too..
it's just a bit far to go with such a situation at hand.


anyone know who it might've been? i only got a rear and small side glance at it for a few miles. traffic was horrible. one beautifull 911

[Rick V]

Busted }{ don't try and weasle out of it now. :)

[BlackTalon]

Busted }{ don't try and weasle out of it now. :)C'mon now, }{ doesn't venture out into the Virginia suburbs -- he's an urban kind of guy! The only reason he would ever be out somewhere near Sterling was if that was on the way to the track :-)

[986SChris]

not me. i don't know where konoha nor braddock rd are. plus, i'm all packed, clean, and ready to go. did it have a roof rack?


I saw roof rack green 70's 911 on 66W at 123 around 6:30 this evening.

[Rick V]

Forget wheres Waldo we'll start calling it wheres }{. :)

[Trak Ratt]

Bunch of Dorki heading down to VIR this afternoon. Likely not for any authorial purposes though ;) }{ could very well have been the one seen.

[lpsalsaman]

I was coming from work on I495 going towards the American Legion Bridge to the MD side, after passing the exit to Langley. I spotted a 911/930 Turbo on the side of the road, did not know if there was a problem or not. It was blue metallic with Ruf wheels. Do anyone knows this car? I could not stop to check since I was in the very left side of the road.

[TD in DC]

Beautiful blue Maserati Quattroporte personalized with yellow plastic lion glued to the hood and yellow pinstipes with owner's initials in the pinstripe at each door. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture . . . I dropped my phone into the bottom of a Skippy Formula Dodge car and it just hasn't been the same since then . . .

[VaSteve]

I really don't see anything wrong with that. That gentleman probably made his forture with whatever business the yellow lion pertains to (yellow lion contruction?). Just because you may find it unappealing doesn't mean than he isn't proud as hell of his acheivements and wishes to celebrate them.

[TD in DC]

My my you are a bit sensitive Steve. Have you gone and glued a big pile of beans to the hood of the Targa? :lol:



http://www.mccullagh.org/db9/1ds2-4/kidney-beans-assortment.jpg

Don't forget that I offered the picture of the Maserati without a bit of commentary, apart from mentioning that it is beautiful ;)

[TD in DC]

More shit I need to debug and fix from the BBS upgrade

Ahhh ok. sorry, I thought I was doing something wrong.

[}{arlequin]

I guess I could do this . . .

[berettafan]

wouldn't it be ironic if the Maserati owner made his fortune selling fashionable shoes to metrosexuals with shoe fetish problems......

[}{arlequin]

impossible. anyone that even knows what a fashionable shoe is (no, not the latest release from a new nike-endorsed h.s. graduate on espn) would be loathe to combine that with a plastic lion. but it *is* quite clever since this way you know your hood ornament will never end up on some rapper's gold chain :lol:

[type954]

bluish carrera at gallows rd-495 exit, arlington or alexandria window sticker, Va plates +++ -3026, stopped by to aid but no one returned in 1/2 hr. anyone here?

[}{arlequin]

bluish could be claven but it's not his plate.... the only other car i know is bob novas'... but i think he has md plates

[Lupin..the..3rd]

Couldn't have been mine. Why, you ask? Because it's still sitting at the #$^& body shop waiting for parts to arrive from Germany. Rear qtr panel arrived dented so they sent it back, now waiting for another one. Maybe I'll have it back by Spring. :cry:

[type954]

spotted at Rt 50 and Blake/Pickett Rd 7:30 ish this a.m. red RS A, VA lic plate begins w/YEY- . owner on dorki board?

[VaSteve]

I know (or at least have seen) most of the regulars with older 911s out my way. I saw a new one this morning. A blue Carerra (84/85?)...Blue somewhere between Hell Blau and Cliff "Foglight Blue". Euro rear bumper, but no fender lights. Dual exhaust...sounded sweet with the windows up in my car. Oh and a Dale Earnhardt #8 sticker in the rear window. License plate "MNICAL" or similar. Any of you?

[Mike W]

Carerra (84/85?)... Dale Earnhardt #8 sticker in the rear window

Only in Manassas.



;)

[good hands]

no picture of that little guy pissing on number 3 ? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[JmuRiz]

You mean a 288 GTO, perhaps near the American Legion bridge? If so, that's the Marriott car.

[Richard Curtis]

Somehow, the long post that I wrote about spotting the GTO doesn'tshow up. There appeared to be some problems with the site this morning. What happened:

Nope, it was a '59 GTO, I think a 250 GTO if I remember correctly. I've only seen two before, both in museums. I pulled into my neighborhood Sunoco station this morning to gas up the truck. There sat a bright red piece of early-Italian sculpture. At first, I thought it was a replica. Nope, replied the 50ish fellow dressed in all sorts of Prancing Horse memorabilia (ditto the older fellow with him). He was very nice but appeared to be in some sort of hurry. Car had a roll cage of sorts (I didn't get long to inspect it) and I think I spotted a helmet in the hatch area. Borrani (sp?) wire wheels. Guy finishes gassing it up, gets in, turns the key -- you can then hear the fuel pumps whining -- hits the starter button and they chugged out of the station. Had '59 Virginia historic plates on it (they're white, BTW). Sweetest engine sound you could imagine. I said something to hiim about you don't see these things driven every day and he replied, "What man can build, man can fix." He's probably a dorki.

[Noah]

I once saw a real 1963 250 GTO on the road, outside of Charleston SC. Pretty much blew my mind to see one of those out and about.

[good hands]

perhaps a repro ?

[986SChris]

Is it wrong that I would have offered to felate the man for a quick spin?

[Lupin..the..3rd]

Is it wrong that I would have offered to felate the man for a quick spin?
Yes, yes it is. But rest assured, your secret is safe with us. Here at dorkiphus, we won't judge you or your alternative lifestyle.

[markwemple]

Why do I have a hard time imagining a 5+ mil. car roaming around? Plus, what was he first year for a real 250 gto, could be a rebody of another Ferrari.

[markwemple]

As I expected, 59 would be the gt swb. The gto is 62.

[racer]

Sure was a bit cool this morning.. how long to let a dry sump V-12 warm up?

Seems around here, a $5mil car rarely stands out ;)

[Richard Curtis]

As I expected, 59 would be the gt swb. The gto is 62.

Somehow this makes me feel better. It surely looked like a GTO, but like I said, I was without benefit of a book on Ferraris at the moment. Still, awfully sweet car.

[markwemple]

Any 3.0 v-12 Ferrari is a sweet sound!

[turbo23dog]

That sound is forever etched into my memory. I was in Monterey, CA in 1988/89. On Del Monte Ave, about 1/4 mile from the Naval Postgraduate School, was a Ferarri dealership (since relocated). One afternoon, I was standing on the lot admiring the art (um, cars) as one of the mechanics backed a 328GTS out of the garage. He pulled off the lot, accelerating hard onto and down Del Monte toward US Route 1. God I can still hear the wail of the engine. I've never heard any car sound like that, ever....

[Rick Lee]

I think I saw this car too. I was on my bike two weekends ago on Lee Hwy, headed to the Ffx. Co. Pkwy. and saw a GTO at the red light at West Ox Rd. I was sure it was a repro, but I guess it could have been the same one.

I have two on the street in CA, one in SF and then again the next day in Palo Alto. Dunno if they were the same car or if they were the real deal.

[Vicegrip]

OK I normaly don't post Porsche spottings but this one caught my eye. Wash Post final front page. The standard city traffic trying to get around in the slop picture has a 911 in the mix.

[VaSteve]

Saw this guy again and issued a friendly hello in traffic while my car was still full of track junk and had the numbers on the glass. Couldn't really chat. I need to find out more about this one....it's a nice car.

Saw an older dude with white hair driving an 80's Carerra into the same parking garage at the airport today. That garage is usually full of newer Porsches...don't seem many old ones.

[jbailey930]

Today at my building in Reston off Sunrise Valley TOAD 911? Lime Green 71/72 with harness guide. Very nice.....also a red Carrera in South Lake Center. The weather is turning!

[The Donkey]

Mine is sitting out in the parking lot irght now. H was right. It is getting driven a lot more than anticipated. Gotta put a new battery in this weekend with Rick V.

[good hands]

mother effer !
i brought my 996 in to work today and parked it out in the boonies. 10 spaces to the left of it, 10 spaces to the right. some effin honda accord parks right next to it. what's wrong with people ?

don't tell me . . . when you came back out, they had produced a baby boxster after an "afternoon delight," right?

Man, that happens in G-Town once in awhile. It explains why boxsters keep poppin up outta nowhere like rabbits or tribbles or something. ;)

[Rick V]

or tribbles
All alone I thought it was the 44 causing you to be you, but now the truth comes out.
I'm ashamed to mention I also know of tribbles

Poor Scott! I used to work with a guy who could easily get his buttons pushed when it came to parking next to his car. A few of us used to find his car way out in the parking lot and park so close to him that he couldn't get in his car:p . I find my car gets the least hassle if I just park it in a normal spot, not at some funky angle and sort of near other cars.

[Clarke]

VA Steve,
It was me that you saw on Linton Hall last Saturday. The Dale sticker is a leftover from the PO. I just haven't gotten around to removing it yet. He is a huge D.E. fan. The car is actually a '79 Euro SC. My friend (PO) put the Carrera badge and tail on it when he painted it about eight or nine years ago. You might see my wife driving it also. She loves it. It would be great to meet some local Dorkis. We don't get to drive it as much as we would like. The baby seat doesn't fit in the back seat. It might ba a little loud for the little one too. Shoot me a PM if you would like to try and get together.

Ok I'll do you one better. Lanna and I were enjoying a nice day and I stopped by the local burger hut to grab a take out order for my son. (he had to work on this nice day) I parked in the "oh don't park near me spaces" way out in the next area code. I come out and some jackass has parked, what was left of a Ford pickup right on top of my drivers door. He got a little shitty with me when I asked him to scoot over so I could get in. (My skinny little ass couldn't even get in my car.)
I think it kind of suprised him when a Porsche owner threatened to jerk him out from behind the wheel and stomp a mudpuddle in his ass. He moved, and all ended well. Some people have no brains.

[986SChris]

Skyish Blue Longhood Targa on 495 today. Exchanged waves. Great looking ride. Anyone we know?

[Lupin..the..3rd]

Spotted a very clean and shiny red Carrera 3.2 with 'whale tail' driving up 24th street in DC. Belong to anyone here?

[}{arlequin]

missing your car are we? :D :lol:

[Trak Ratt]

What's the current "week or two" delivery date?

[VaSteve]

I'm sure it's not Ted's old car... I think that went to MD and I'm about as far from MD as you can get in the "703" :lol:

Anyway, saw a nice black Carerra lowered with a whale tail and Turbo twists (well most of it was nice :) ). License plate "BMWS 911". Young guy driving it.

Anyone know the driver/car?

Yesterday I saw the fellow with the Rosewood Euro Coupe..."IM BLEST" (or something similar spiritual themed) he was at SP in March visiting. We've met before and he was a nice fellow. Couldn't catch up in traffic.

I see more and more old 911s in Bristow/Manassas these days.

[Pame]

Nope..."teds" car doesn't have turbo twists and looks like this ;)

[VaSteve]

Yeah, it looked like that except different wheels, no tint, USA bumpers....well it was black at least!! :lol:

[Don Wohlfarth]

PAME, great picture.
Shows mackgripes old ride in front and new ride in back. :cool:

[986SChris]

I miss seeing that car in my neighborhood everyday.

[}{arlequin]

speaking of spotted rigs... my friend just sent this to my phone asking if i know who that is... it's from this morning's commute... i don't seem to remember knowing anyone w/ a red lh... lic plate 'my911e'

anyone? anyone?

I saw several Cayman's a Boxter and a 996 cab on my way in this morning.

Not one wave... shocking I know.

[good hands]

caught this 997 cab putting his car through a CAR WASH in leesburg.

oh the sacrilege !!!

[}{arlequin]

It could have been me except for the plate and my wheels aren't twisty. It's black too. ;)

I hope that guy is nice in the rosewood car, being he has blessed on his plate. Although I have been witness to many with "holy" plates driving like an atheist or a**.

Lol I had a lady in a boxster wave to me monday, frist boxster wave in a LONG time.

[Rick Lee]

STeve, the Carrera you saw is not Ted's. I am positive I got next to it at a light on Nutley St. today and its interior was all black. Ted's was beige. But it was a very sweet car. Muffler tips said it was something nice, but they were not THE pipes. I was on the bike and two lanes over, so I could not talk to the guy. He was in his 50's, grey beard and baseball hat.

}{, I'm pretty sure I see that red LH regularly around Vienna and Merrifield, though I haven't gotten a look at the license plate.

Was it a M491 coupe?

If so I have spoken to this guy. Nice guy, forget his name. Used to stare at his car on the bus ride back from Middle-school as it was always parked at his house. Last summer he was washing his car as I was driving by in the 911, I stopped to say hi.

[Dr K]

I saw a cream, white, or light yellow mid-year 911S with a turbo tail parked at Dulles this week, VA plates JFL-5652. Looked to be in nice shape. Anybody know this car?

Peter

[Dreamin_Mike]

Love these threads.

Saw a light-ish blue SC or Carrera driving north on the GW Parkway today around noon right by National Airport. Was heading south, and just saw the car for a second, but it looked a lot like arob's new ride.

Beautiful day for a drive, was a shame I was on my way to what turned into a seven-hour long fantasy baseball draft. :shock:

[Dr K]

Oh, also I saw 5 different yellow Boxsters. They all had girls driving them. :D

One of their names' was "Robin" I think...

Peter

[Patrick3000]

Ted’s old car was present and well driven, or is it droven, by Steve at Chesapeake Auto-Cross school on Saturday. Steve nice to meet you hope you had as much fun as I did.

[Clarke]

On my way home tonight I was following a black Carrera with a light interior down PW Parkway. The plate was Virginia SMJ 777, I think. Va Steve, do you know this one? He pulled into my side of the neighborhood. I also pass a house on the way to my in-laws in Reston that has what looks to be a brown SC in the garage with a 944, and a couple of 944s under covers in the driveway. Is this a fellow Dorki?

[VaSteve]

Don't know him, haven't seen that one. Looks like we're getting a bunch out here in the country. :)

[BobNovas]

Now truly,can there be there life outside of dorki-land?

[Clarke]

This is the first time I have seen the Carrera. I have been driving past the house in Reston for the last 11 years. For as long as I can remember the brown 911 has been on stands in the garage. One of the 944 was uncovered partially and looked to be in good shape as I drove by.

[VaSteve]

Now truly,can there be there life outside of dorki-land?


There probably is, but we must question the quality of that life! :)

[Dr K]

Next time you drive by, see if the 911 is a coupe or a targa, long-nose, mid-year, SC, Carrera, or 964 (I assume it's not newer if on jack stands for 11 years)... Maybe one of us will make an offer to get this vehicle back on the track/road/AC where it belongs.

Oh man I had a blast, it was nice meeting you Karl!

[SRISER]

I have been gone from this list for a couple years...what happed to Ted and his car? Who has the story? Last time I was at this place we were dropping his motor for a rebuild.

[Trak Ratt]

"Search" is your friend.

[VaSteve]

Be nice DR... Ted is still around. He's as low profile as can be these days driving his 19xx 9xx and doing "stuff" in a place overseas.

[SRISER]

Yeah, I figured he was gone, but was more intersted in the details rather than what he may have posted on this site and accessed via a search. Sheesh....

[BlackTalon]

I have been gone from this list for a couple years...what happed to Ted and his car? Who has the story? I suspect Ted has the story. But it goes something like this:

1. He took a new job, and spends a time away from DC.

2. He sold his 911.

3. He purchased a slightly newer p-car.

He still visits the Dorki Board every now and then. If you want 'details', try sending him an email or PM.

[VaSteve]

I drove through the city and saw a ton of nice 911s. Including one silver/gold Targa parked in Bethesda with the roof off and a ticket on the windshield. :) Then I found this in the municipal parking lot in Bethesda. Anyone know the car...Full track prep. Almost a peru red, clay color with yellow wheels. Front bumper like }{'s and "track scarred"

I saw it driving about a 1/2 hour later. Looked like a female driver or a man that needs a haircut! :)

[JmuRiz]

Wow, that SC looks great with those bumpers and tail.

[87turbolook911]

Did Pari's car turn back to brown on its own??

[}{arlequin]

i only met him once so i don't remember his name, but it could be that guy that races/instructs w/ pca. car looks similar in color. had impact bumpers last time i saw it but front was cracked and rear was hanging off from some contact in october's cr so it may have been time to replace...

one of the faster drivers i know... bone stock sc and he's tearing it up in red. at vir. :shock:

[brianr]

I've seen a lot too. wanted to go get mine this morning then reminded myself of the commute home...:cry:

Saw two 996's back to back (or is that front to back) yesterday on GW Pkwy near airport 4pm. one silver, one charcoal. Looked like a fun run or just coincidence.

[}{arlequin]

well i thought it was this car w/ new bumpers, but now i'm not so sure... mirror is different though i guess it isn't too much work to switch it so it suits the duck a bit more...

[Manny Alban]

Your thinking of Gregg Wilson from Delaware. He has a brown euro 911SC that runs in F. He's wicked fast and best of all, he drives to the races and drives back. Old school to the max. He's a tech at Winner Porsche.

[Rick V]

Saw this jewel today, some of you might know the car. It made an apearance in C-Ville today. Anybody know it?

[Lupin..the..3rd]

Spotted on M street in G'town: Smokin hot babe, long blonde hair, sunglasses.

Oh yeah, and she was driving a black turbo-look Carrera 3.2 cabrio. Anyone we know?

She obviously had the look, that told Geroge, she doesn't eat frozen pizza. :)

[Mike W]

Woops... checking in late here.

Good meeting you Rick, thanks for letting me stop by and stretch my legs. Traffic turned a 2h drive into 3.5. Plus my friend I was giving a ride to is a smoker and I didn't really stop for that.

Now let it be known, I do in fact drive (drove) my car.

DR!

[Alan Herod]

Spotted on the way into work this morning, coming from the direction of Solomons Island, white 944? Too far away to tell which version. Looked like red numbers, '33'. Is anyone here familiar with this car?

[.:programmatore:.]

Hi. Over the weekend my company moved in to our new location in Campus Commons in Reston. Today was our first working day in the office.

When I pulled in to the parking lot this morning I saw a beautiful Arctic Silver 997. Then in the afternoon when I was leaving I saw a nice, clean, black 944. Are you guys on this board? My car is the Ocean Blue 996 cabriolet that was parked under the tree by your cars.

Wasn't me....

I saw someone with a black Cab coming out of Cantina d'Italia on Saturday night. Anybody?

I'm headed out right now for a drive on a nice cool evening.

[aelred]

But hopefully I'll pick mine up this week. I'll only be driving her to work on Fridays, I'm in Campus at Sunrise (next mini-campus over from Campus Commons).

[.:programmatore:.]

Hey Scott,

We moved in to the top floor of 1902 Campus Commons. I haven't really explored the campus yet -- I've only been to the gym and deli in the building next to ours.

[jbailey930]

Also welcome Scott to our world as a new 911 owner and Dorki!!

So he comes by my office Friday talking about a "fun" car - a Boxster he was looking at Carmax. I take him down to Intersport 1. to look at my freshly dyno'd 930, and 2. to look at their inventory, and 3. get a mechanic opinion on a used Boxster. Chuck Drake's 911 Cab was looking awfully sweet. It caugh Scott's eye and I could see it was reeling him in.

Next thing I see is a short email Saturday on my BBerry with a .jpg and the title "I Got It!" Maybe we can all parade over to Cafe Sano one day, but be careful of cops on Sunrise Valley.....

Next thing I see is a short email Saturday on my BBerry with a .jpg and the title "I Got It!" Maybe we can all parade over to Cafe Sano one day, but be careful of cops on Sunrise Valley.....

I can meet you guys for lunch at Cafe Sano or The Lakeside Inn since both are just down the street from the office.
