Default Orange 996 Turbo in the GTA

So here I am cruising on the QEW in my Mazda, daydreaming about my Porsche, new exhaust on order, signed up for PCA track days etc.. then I start to think how boring the colours are on most Porsches - Silver, Grey, black etc.(not blue though)
Thinking about when I looked through the posts, discussions on colour, saw one with a pic regarding a 2005 997 in Orange etc, wouldn't that be cool.....

All of a sudden out of nowhere, an orange 996 Turbo blasts by!

It was westbound on the QEW, through Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington, Downtown Porsche on the plate frames, black bra.
Anyone know who owns it?

don't know the owner..but i believe he is in the bayview/yorkmills area.
i've seen the car numerous times in that area so that would me my guess.

very nice ride. i wonder if he got matching color stitching as well.

I agree I thought it looked awesome.
Funny, I was wondering about the colour stitching as well.
It was hard to tell because he tinted the glass, but the steering wheel looked like a different rim accent, carbon or aluminum maybe?

Ive seen that guy at Pusateris a few times. There are some logos or something on the side of the car...some sort of juice company or something - can't remember.

IIRC it's been at Auto Look at least a year or so now.......tiptronic is the big problem IMHO........otherwise I would have bought the car along time ago if it was a 6 speed.

I tried to buy an orange Boxster today in the GTA.....but it was already sold.
