Default How many Northern Virginia owners are here....?

Have any of you had these cars in Northern VA for much more than 7yrs or so? I bought mine in Norfolk 10/13/99- just curious...

Hmmmm.... Interesting... I was just thinking, that w/the record my car has had since I bought it (much like barelyrunshalfthetime) that I should have done this YEARS ago- might could have met a person or two who knew Allison Morrison, the guy I bought it from, &/or the original owner (although more unlikley), but either way, might have been familiar w/the car itself. Seems as though 7yrs is way too long to expect any previous insight on a 951 from such a large city/area. I don't think either owner took good care of the car & I also don't think they were PCA guys OR track guys in the least, & only used it for DD type stuff, from '88 to '99. Turns out, the clutch went out at 63k miles & then again, right after I bought it, at 127k & the timing belt broke at ~70k- luckily, no damage, but still, makes me wonder. Anyway...
