    Spotted on Google street view

    I looked for a thread on google spotted 911s but couldn't find one so I thought I'd start this one here. I'll start it off with these two from NorCal. One is kinda distorted but I can assure you our local used parts broker can confirm these. The second is from a guy I'm buying a beetle from this week and when I looked up his address I spotted at least 4 or 5.

    So... If you've got a good street view photo of a Porsche feel free to share it here.

    This could get interesting, But I would have to say that dealerships, junk yards and EASY is off limits. Doesn't count. Too EASY?

    I can appreciate that and would agree. I had to have something to start though Here's another quick one off the web. I'm sure eventually people will find or post some.

    Yup

    Trying to figure out if the two white cars (one with stripes, one with a lot of "black" on the back deck) are Peter's 991R and 918 Spyder, which would pinpoint the day, no?

    Pete Sure looks like it to me. Pretty distinctive pair of cars. I just looked at the google earth image of the shop and it was completely different and just showed my Toyota Tundra parked in front. The only day where cars are parked diagonally, is on the first Saturday of every month. We don't get too many 918s and 911Rs parked out front, either.

    Ciao

    You really need to get a six-tip exhaust for the Tundra...

    Here is my car parked in front of a previous custodians house - it is just a 912, but still :-)
