Black E55 on I-71 today

Hello,

I was in my White 997 TT and sorry we didn't get a straight stretch to tests out the beasts. The traffic was horrible but your car looked gorgeous with black grill,fogs on,lowered and black emblems

My first reaction when I spotted you in my rear view mirror was "O ****" this is going to be a tough one as I knew you probably had it pulley'd but luckily you had to take the exit.

BTW, Why do I kep thinking it was "emoving" ?

Anyway, it would have been a good fight though..

It wasn't me, I'm still rocking the chrome emblems and grill.

I was coming down from Granville,OH after attending a Porsche meet ( 400+ cars) so I would say it was about 70 miles north of cinti.

Seeing a black E55 right up my *** surely got me excited but unfortunately the traffic was pretty bad. The funny thing is, my 9 year old was even more excited than I was knowing how fast E55's are.

Having recently sold my E55 i know what kinda damage these cars can do

Here are few picts from the get together with my white 997 TT

So, this Porsche meet is an annual thing or what? I love Porsche, thinking about picking a 996 turbo up. My three years old son loves the e55 though, so he doesn't want me to do that.

Yes it is an annual event with this year being the first time it held in Granville,OH.

For past several years it held in Oxford,OH but the event grew too big for the town so it moved to its new current location.

Attaching last few picts

Thx for sharing the pics...


I'm with Forrest Gump 9... I love Porsches, especially old ones.


I love old 930s, 914s, and 911s... Something about them just gets the blood flowin'...
