    This may be a short thread...

    Other than my 328 and my friends' CS, Mondial, and 308, I saw a silver Ford GT today in Anchorage.

    Alaska has over 5000 registered Porsches, but less than a dozen Ferraris.

    And just a reminder for spotting, Aug 6 is the 28th Annual Jay Ofsthun Memorial Show & Shine on the Anchorage Park Strip.

    Did you see the ad for the 308 in the paper over the weekend?

    Phone number is for Petr's Violin Shop. I though he'd sold his to the dentist in ER. Maybe he got it back? If not, that make 3 red 82 308's in the area.

    I saw that black Rolls Phantom just up the street from my house. It wasn't really the area I would expect to see a Rolls Royce in.

    My wife called me on Friday to let me know that she was behind that Ford GT40 in traffic. I hope he brings it out to one of the shows.

    I saw a black Maserati QP on Dimond last week. Where are these cars coming from?

    I don't know. About a month ago I could have sworn I saw a Maybach on New Seward. I can't think of any other car that big that would have a two-tone paint job.

    I followed a light blue mid 80's Rolls on the Glenn a couple of weeks ago.

    There's a Ghibli in ER, he joined us a few years back on the drive to Whitter.

    The Bear Paw car show is this Friday night in ER, anyone going to be there?

    Definitely, I just wish I had something to offer other than my poor Subaru.'

    I may make it. The car currently is not broken, it is semi-clean, tempting. What are the procedures for entering?

    There are a lot of Porsches here, so I would not be suprised if a GT showed up one day. I know an Audi S8 is coming.

    I was told the local Audi/Porsche dealer has both a Audi RS4 and the new 911 Turbo right now. If that is true I may have to have myself a look.

    He's a friend of mine. Tell him that you think Ferraris are better, especially black ones. He really is a great guy, and always willing to talk cars. Big community supporter.

    OK, I will be at the Bear Paw with my car around 5:30 PM, but can't stay until 9:00.

    There are already 2 of the last generation S8s here that I know of. The silver GT is owned by a friend of a friend. I wouldn't be surprised if it made some appearances at shows.

    I saw 4rebob this morning, driving a black toaster. And shortly thereafter saw a clean, black/black '92 GMC Typhoon heading the other way on the Glenn.

    I also saw a red 308 GTS with a trailer hitch about a week ago at Seward & 36th.

    I think the trailer hitch one is the owner of the Kodiak Cafe on 5th Ave. Hope to see you at the Bear Paw.

    I've seen two C6 Z06's up here. One was yellow, which I believe was a dealer allocation. The other car was red and I believe it had out of state plates that read, 'C6 Z06'.

    Spotted a Lotus Elise on the Glenn between Anch and ER last night around 6:15.

    Anyone seen a white Lotus Elan+2 around? I wonder what happened to my old car.
