Cool Twin C4S in Wine Country...pics

Spent Saturday in the Russian River Valley wine country (Pellegrini Family Vineyards), when I came upon another Arctic Silver C4S!!! His had only 30,000miles, grey interior (mine is black), and all stock.

What made it more surprising is that both of our C4S's were MY98. Since there were only 299 C4S imported into the US for the final model year, I thought the Porsche Gods were shining down on us (actually, that was just the Fall sun, as you'll see). Going to pick up a lottery ticket, now

Didn't get a chance to take more interesting photos, sorry...wine was GOOOOD!

Mine is on the right:



Now I'm on the left (in the back):

That's exactly what I was thinking when I pulled up... The owner was a real nice guy, save the fact he had not heard of Rennlist!!!

After I dragged him into the vineyards, I beat him silly yelling, "Rennlist" with each blow, and left him to the vultures (ok, that's not true, but I politely reminded him to visit our "community" sometime)...He does track his car; something I haven't had the time for yet... next year...

Now wouldnt that be ironic if the owners wife backed into his as well?

Ok, bad joke.

Ha ha! No, his got T-boned by a 16 year old after only owning it for a few months...! He said it was in the shope for well over 3-months!!!

Forgot to show everyone the awesome job the body shop did... I'll have to do an update post..

Thats cool! I would be very happy to see my twin locally. But even so, it seams while they look the same at first, there are never 2 exactly a like. I never really thought the "motosound tips" made it look all that much better until you can see them side by side.
