As this is the only "spotted" thread going, I'll add a little spotted of my own down here . Dark blue 996 GT3 in Sutton today at about 1pm sitting at the lights. I flicked through a few profiles but there's not much info there.

Anybody from here?

A property developer if I'm not mistaken. Often seen outside Hamilton Osbourne Kings office on Molesworth street. (friend works inside the office!)

Mooching around the Porsche forum I think it might be this guy Dave 321 although his car looks black in the pictures .
