Is there any appetite for a pinned thread for spotted Macans?
If we're out and about and see someone / other Macans we could keep a thread for such things? Just a thought.
Last Friday on the M4 Westbound, Reading to Newbury, I convoyed with a gentian blue gen3. Did look nice on the move. I gave a toot as I passed and pulled in ahead. Unsure on the model as it was debadged. Anyone here?
Their speed was a rather painful 64/65mph so I left them at the A34 as I wanted to get home that evening
I spotted quite a few Porsches on my trip to Kent and back on Saturday, but can’t recall any specific ones. Quite a few black and grey Gen Ones, as I recall.

On Monday as I was turning left into Morrisons, a dolomite gen 3 S passed on the outside, hi gloss accents including the Macan S badge on the boot, nice looking in the metal, with 21” RS wheels.

Years ago we had a ‘Spotted’ thread!
Happy to take part.

Saw a Carrera GTS in Crayon today. We were in the wife's Tiguan. Must get one of those "My other cars a Porsche" stickers The GTS was a 72 plate, so fairly new.
I suspect they are too common for the thread to have any legs with such low members on here
There is one on the lotus forum and even there it doesn’t have much traction and those cars are much rarer
Having said that I did once track down a local lotus owner through the spotted/forum who ended up being the uncle of a neighbour of one of my tenants who had been causing my tenants some grief and he helped me sort him out ! He is now a good friend who comes away on my track trips!
Therefore one day WC may become a real friend too!

I think people don't really bother in mainstream cars. Back in the day you had the "Scooby wave". See a fellow scooby owner and it was a wave of a flash of lights. I don't see anyone doing that these days. I have a GR-Yaris, and being a special little car, I assumed most would be driven by car enthusiasts. I've flashed or raised a hand to fellow GR-Yaris drivers, and get nothing back.
The whole "Car culture" things is dying out I think.
