Default RUF Toy Run pics

The RUF dealer here in DFW sponsored a toy run today. The amount of toys collected was awesome and there were TONS of cars. I think I heard someone say almost 100!

There was a Carrera GT, countless GT3s, 997s, 964s, 911s, 914s, another 951, a few F360s, 355s, a 550, a 348, a supercharged Cayman, Viper, Ford GT, Murcialago (SP?), Lingenfelter Z06, etc...

They even had two Carrera GTs in the "back room" under car covers...

Here's a few of what I took, I have more, but ran out of time to upload:


















Here's where the toy pile started to get big:


Can you spot the Carrera GTs?

Looks like it was an awesome time, thanks for putting up the pix!

BTW mebbe it is my bad eyesight, but on the #7 yellow 993 monster it looks like the rear clip is all one piece! How do you get to the motor??? Only under the car?

It looks like there is a body seam back there, but I had to tilt the laptop screen all the way back to see it!

The number 7 car is a RUF CTR2 Sport. The rear end is actually very similar to the 959. The entire upper half of the car opens up.

You can see it in the bottom left of this picture:



Ballistic, it's been great! how are you? I'm heading out to Maryland to start my job. Here's just for you:

Cool pics! I love the CTR2! I hate 964 speedsters! Going to these kinds of gtgs always makes me feel like I own/drive a piece of junk.

I definitely did NOT expect to see a CTR2! That thing was awesome!

The guys at RUF are pretty damn cool as well. The head mechanic owns a 951 and told me that if I come up during the week or something, that he'd show me around the shop more than he could yesterday.

I definitely felt a little...poor? Oh well, it was fun!
