Only just caught this thread Tom.......wonderful images, thanks for putting in the effort
My sister-in-law lived in Newport Beach and we spent a month long honeymoon there 32 years ago (anniversary tomorrow!), we've been going back to CA ever since although family have now moved North. Great memories, love California
Cheers,

Great pics. That looks like a really good Gemini blue Tom. Cameras, screens, light etc all affect things I know but that looks pretty spot on to me. It’s a lovely colour when right.
Viper green RS looks like a later production date. Maybe late second or third series on 6’s and 7’s by the looks of it. No door pockets? Looks highly polished.
Thanks for posting
Regards
Mike

Thanks for posting, Tom.
As on the wrapped McLaren in your pic, we saw quite a few "11-99 Foundation" license plate frames on fast cars in CA. As you probably know, 11-99 is a benevolent fund for California Highway Patrol officers and families - plate frame available to serious donors. Wonder how well the frame works at deflecting speeding tickets!

Richard, I hadn't noticed the plate frame. They were collecting money for the Special Olympics, it was organised by the Police. Quite a good idea to be able to show your support in that way......and avoid tickets.

Mike,
Thanks for the view on the Gemini Blue, I thought it was a good colour match and really what I expected. The RS was compeltely restored, I liked it but I suspect overly restored for many.
Regards
Tom

As always great pictures Tom. You certainly saw some great cars. On my trip to Argentina I saw one Cayenne and that was in the distance
