Must be the guy's dad... the guy i saw driving it was late 20's early 30's white guy with brown hair.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

Crest Spotted: Black Carrera

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?

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

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.
