Yeah - the yellow wide body car - that's the one that was at Jebsen in Hong Kong. I was test driving a 996 GT3 and I was checking it out - back in 2004. It had a little rust in the rear where the hood joints are. I didn't know my Porsches back then and the price was around HK$500k (around USD$65k). Last year I found out that Porsche only made a few of them - and I cursed and kicked myself - it was a lost investment. Dammit.
