Spotted on my Sunday drive

Out and about in our 1994 Audi 80 Avant - the dog car, in more ways than one.
Was overtaken by a 458 Italia, saw a Panamera Turbo at a roundabout, saw several 911s and some Boxsters with the roofs down enjoying the weather.
All of this is probably quite normal if you're in an affluent area of the UK, but this is around quite a small village in the far North-west of Northern Ireland.
I was enjoying seeing so many toys out for a play and thinking how it went against all the gloomy financial news of late, when a white 3.2 Speedster came down the road towards us and made my day. I've seen the guy before in his 997 GT3, but had no idea he also had one of these. I'm now desperately trying to think of a reason to call at his house and get a look at it.
Even in middle age the right car can bring out your inner child!

My day was made yesterday too. Having a pint in Old Amersham when I heard the unmistakable sound of a GT3 pulling up outside. Sure enough was a 997 Gen 2 GT3 3.8. 10 minutes later he drove of with a two-stage burst of the loud pedal that filled the high street with aural delight.
Then 30 minutes later while walking along the high street was treated to a white ivory c1970 911 (impeccable condition). Didn't catch the badge but enjoyed the sight and sound all the same.
It is rare you see such cars but two in the same sunny afternoon was a joy to behold.
