Daughter Ivi has been visiting from Seattle for a couple of days, so we decided to do a little family exploring in the new neighborhood. I actually don’t know exactly where this is, so it won’t be much of a problem keeping this almost-traffic-free many-mile loop secret — although I think we can retrace our GPS/Google Maps history. Yep, it is somewhere in the Pacific Northwest! (Of course, I will share it with my Porsche driving buddies.)
Ran across this good-looking early 944 in a parking lot the other day. I have since been in communication with Timothy, the owner, and look forward to seeing more of this vehicle and his other Porsche, a Cayenne Turbo S.
