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.

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.

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....

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.

Default Interesting spotted today..

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!
