Porsche Spotting

ORIGINAL: Black Beauty

it suddenly made me feel a bit vunerable in my '44 but some spirited driving put paid to that negative thought..

Off topic again sorry but if I could have chosen any car to be in when I had my big accident (when someone pulled out of a side turning in a 60 zone) it would have been a 944. It was far too big an accident for crumple zones to be sufficient and it was the engine coming into the passenger footwell that broke me. Having seen 944's in front impact situations and seen the structure/ shear amount of metal in front of you when your in the '44 there's no car I'd rather have been in.

Also our car lifted over the other car and into the other side of the road. With a low car I don't think this would have happened. Luckily the impact for us was just big enough that we were flicked backwards across the road and into the grass on the other side. In a 4x4 I reckon we would have made a straighter trajectory over the bonnet and been flipped or launched into the Audi coming the other way.
 
I often worry about safety especially since our 944 is a Cabriolet, but I find it's always when I'm not in it. Once behind the wheel it goes!

Anyway, I digress.

On Saturday, on the M55 then North on the M6 to around Morecambe we had a mini convoy with a 997 - normally I wouldn't mention this on here but waves and smiles were exchanged several times as we overtook each other, It was a great run and a fine start to a weekend where Region 18 met and went to the James Bond Museum in Keswick.
 
Guard's Red S.2 reg H9 MTD spotted in Amersham about half an hour ago. Clear front, smoked side, but still amber rears. Very tidy and looked recently buffed - unlike mine. [:)] Flashes and waves exchanged whilst travelling in opposite directions. Mc Nulters.....do you know this car?

I was on my way from Northants to Somerset in my 944 when I had a call (when I got to Bath), that my mother in law had been taken into hospital, and had to turn round and come home. So a 280 mile round trip, someone might have seen me!
My point is tho, saw a red 944 (S2?) on Daventry ring road this morning. Is it the one featured in last TIPEC magazine?

white 944 parked outside the breakers in Daventry this morning, saw it being loaded onto a transporter later on. hope it wasnt going to the crusher, didnt look too bad....
 
Waved at a lovely red (not pink) lux in Brixworth near Northampton today but the driver probably thought I was quite mad as I was in the Polo[:D]
 
Saw another bright red lux (I think) whilst driving mine back from Barnstaple on Friday.

Almost forgot to wave as it was the first 944 I had seen in weeks.
 
Red Turbo/S2 at the bottom of Granville Road in Sheffield. Tues 1st of June around 6:40pm ish.

Anyone on here? I was waiting at the lights on Queens road, waiting to go onto St Mary's Road (White Turbo)

 
Friday evening "burnt orange"? 944 on the Ring Road naer Oadby, Leicester (just round the corner from you Paz) -Never seen one that colour before.
I was in my wifes car heading the other way as usual.
