Sighting of the Day, September 10

Late last night daughter Ivi says she saw a 944 in the dark, possibly with the same color as mine, lurking in a garage up in the hills. So we went searching for it today, and are waiting for a reply to a note that we left behind.  Looks like a newly-acquired 951.

Narcos 951

Last night, we were watching the new Netflix Original series, “Narcos”,  dramatizing the career of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, set in the 1980s.  For about a second I spotted a white 951 wearing phone dials and Euro-style side markers and driving into a hotel in Medellin, Columbia.  These frames appear very, very briefly at around 27:00 in Episode Two.

I’m wondering just a bit about the authenticity of all this.  The event depicted I believe was in 1981 or 82.  But — at least in the US — the 944 Turbo didn’t come along until midway into the 80s.   Maybe I’m mistaken, perhaps someone can set us straight on this.

Another Electric Porsche Update

In case you aren’t subscribing to or following Robin Wainwright’s fascinating blog, you can see the latest chapter in the evolution of his electrified 914.  Hopefully, he will have news on his electric 944, soon, too.

And on a vaguely related note, you might want to read this NYT piece on human problems encountered by Google’s driverless cars.

Off Topic: From the Past

Today, whilst clearing out space in my basement work area, I came across some previously undeveloped negatives of my beloved 1963 109 Landrover.  Taken in 1974 in the Santa Monica mountains north of Los Angeles.
