Great looking car! Saw it driving in the yaletown area. Wanted to say hello but I was with a bunch of business colleges.

It might have been Ryojo aka Basal Skull. I can't remember what kind of wheels his has.

Don't think it was me, I have BBS LM on usually (occasionally Fiske FM 10). And I also have funny led driving lights in my brake ducts right now.

I don't see many other 993tt's in Vancouver.

Here's a couple of pics from this AM at the garage at work, been playing with my new camera.

Yeah this one definetly have Ruf 19's on it. A younger looking guy in the hooded sweatshirt got out after parking it in the street.

I'm in VC quite often for business and that's the third one I've seen!

I only know of maybe 3 other 993tt's so you've been lucky...

I've seen a silver one, the arena one mentioned above and a what I thought was a midnight blue one although it could have been a C4S with a turbo wing.

I saw a 993TT in Yaletown a week and half ago. It had BC plates but the plate holder was an RPM one. Stunning example at that. It was in front of my office so I 'kept an eye out for the owner, hoping to say hi but I must have missed him. I think is was the silver one.

There is a silver, a slate grey, and a black one - I've known their owners at one time or another and believe they are still in Vancouver. There has been 2 arena reds sold over the last little while by the the usual dealers here but I don't know where they went. There was an Adventurine ?sp green one but I think it went to Victoria. There's also a couple of C2s and C4s with larger wings that could be mistaken for a tt.
I don't see any of the other 993tt's at any PCA events anymore.

Saw the same one again this morning. It was black with the RPM plate holder and not silver as I first thought. Nice example.

Bump!

The arena TT with RUFs is actually a RUF built by Weissach without the RUF bumpers. It belonged to my neighbor up until a couple of weeks ago when he sold it through Weissach.

I don't spend much time here lately but I'm glad to see you followed through on the Nogaro color change...https://rennlist.com/forums/993-turb...a-red-gt2.html

Shoot me a PM next time you have some time to kill in Van.

I second Charlie's comment: The arena red and LMs look awesome.

Thanx Steve, your old roock mufflers (thanx again) still sound great (with kevin's sport cats!).

The Arena red 993tt ruf conversion that has been posted about, I took a look at when it was at weissach for a fellow rennlister 993 Guy. Looked like a fine example, wonder if he ended up buying it?
