    Cool spot today! I was driving on the 405N and a caravan of 3 porsches merges right in front of me. An early 356 coupe, followed by an early 911, followed by a 2.7 RS. It was a great sight to see!! I just wish I had my camera with me!

    Hey Byron, that was my dad with my sister! They went to pick something up for my sister at South Coast Plaza before a Super Bowl party with some freinds. How cool is that :)

    Red 348 spider, yellow 246GT, black 308GT4, and one red and one, if i remember correctly, blue 3x8 (didn't get a good enough look to distiguish).

    They were parked at a lil cafe in the Lunada Bay area in PV. My dad, bro, and sis were out on a short drive with the ladies...we thought about stopping to say hi, but we had to be back soon as guests were arriving at our house shortly. I waived hello at the guys sitting outside, they waived back. It would have been nice if we could have stopped.

    Before that, we had stopped at the parking lot at Torrance beach to snap a few pics as it was a nice day and a guy in a Corvette 50th Ann. Concept stopped to chat. I had never seen the car before, it was quite striking. Apparently there were 63 made, of which he had 2. He also said he had a 275GTB a while back and currently a 330. I have a few pics of the Vette that I'll post in a bit.

    Saw a red Esprit V8 on PCH later on in the day as I was headed to a friend's, no longer in an Fcar.

    I would participate but man, I can't even keep track anymore (in Newport Beach). Yesterday about 5 360s and 1 456GT; Sunday a 512TR, Murcilago, and another dozen or so 360s...

    We're spoiled in Newport Beach!

    Black 360 on the 405 S this evening at about 7:30. I gave him the ceremonial thumbs up and then proceeded on my way. The car had Newport Autosport plates and the driver was going damn slowly in the carpool lane :)

    Beautifully shinning black 328 (with ABS) on the back of a Tow Truck on Jamboree in Newport Beach around 4:45.

    Shortly after (around 5pm) I followed a red 355 spider north on PCH for a few blocks.

    Also worthy of mention, a black 356 coupe on Jamboree around 4:45 as well.

    3 days ago, 7am 22E, it appears to be a black murcielago, tinted window with spoiler on the back. I was going the other way, only had about 1/2 second to glance over. Never seen a murcie with spoiler before.

    Or, maybe it was a diablo.., can't be sure
