Default Spotted a 993TT in downtown Memphis

I was in downtown Memphis yesterday, on 2nd Street. I saw parked on the left hand side a bright orange 993 TT with black wheels. Very impressive car! Couldn't stop to admire it up close or take pictures... no parking spot nearby

And I was driving the wife's A6 anyway...

Does it belong to anybody on this forum?

Chuck,

Is there something you forgot to tell us?

Seriously, an orange 993TT? That has to be a color-change job.

I'm an ex Mid-South PCA Pres and DE chairman and a big UT fan (go Big Orange - well, maybe not so much this year). Anyway, I would have remembered that car. Never seen it. Maybe it was from somewhere else? Did you see the tags?

I am aware of a color to sample 97 turbo in signal yellow which has a bit of an orange tint to it but is not orange like the RS orange...or like my car

don't think I've ever seen a pic or heard mention of such an animal around here. Not to say it doesn't exist tho.

No I'm sorry, I could not see the tags. It was parallel parked between two cars and I could not see the tags. The color looked pretty much the same as the picture Only1Buck posted. Definitely close to UT Orange!

I think it was parked along side a big building between Washington and Adams, if my memory serves me well. Would that be some kind of an official building?

Sorry I did not mean to imply the car was located in TN...it does exist and it was sold ~ 3 years ago...
