Default RR-5, my only disappointment =

I did not see an ultra-viole(n)t RS while there.
One white one and several lava, but no UV.


Thanks PCNA and Porsche for bringing all the cars over from Deutschland for display.

i had a great time - my only disappointment was i wanted to see a 993GT2 -street version and i didn't get close to a singer.

i was there for only one day and it was just soo much going on - and i had a lil 2 year old to hang with.

I think the lava will be played out quickly as there was a Carrera S in the same color, and just looked at the configurator and it is an option for most models.

I was pleased with the whole event and our accommodations.

Yes! One of my disappointments as well, no UV 991RS's. Didn't see a 993 GT2, but I did see a yellow 993 Carrera RS while walking around the pits. Also, saw two Singer's (grey and white). Amazing event.

cgfen, I see you're in Vista. I'm in San Diego on some weekends visiting family, are there any Porsche meets you attend occasionally?

very bummed i couldn't make it.
I think UV is the color to have on the 991RS.
I think like green as on the 997rs.

John, are you talking about the white 964 RSR pitted at the end of the Michelin bridge?

the cranberry colored one?
it looks very sweet and lives in the San Diego area if it's the one i'm thinking of.

There was a 993 GT2 (stripped yellow club sport car) and a Singer parked under the same shade tent near the show car garages.

I thought orange was the .1 colour of choice.
Blue for the .2
Now UV for 991

I saw a matt white parked in Monterey but didn't see it at event. The matt effect really worked well, yellow Michelin paint sets it off also.
