Default 951 owners in Akron-Canton area.

After going to Dunkin' Donuts for some refreshments just before noon I was driving back home when I saw a very nicely done 951 sitting directly in front of me as I was waiting to turn left onto Raber Road next to I-77 and exit 118 in Green.

1986-1989 White 951, non-eom header panel, looked like 17's/18's, and sitting a little lower than stock. I was driving the white Ram 2500 flashing his brights and waving like an idiot.

So, how many of us reside in this general area (Stark, Summit, Medina, Portage counties)?

I was getting ready to bring it up to Steinel's and it promptly started making a squealing noise similar to a loose belt or bad bearing (AC/Alt area). I then elected to park it and left for vacation at the OBX last week (got back at 1:30 AM last night) and it'll get some troubleshooting this week before I make another attempt.

Yes I'm still here. But I've had to sell my car due to a leg injury. Lurk here everyday though.

I'm still in the area and had to sell my 951 last year but it is in good hands with another RL member.

I've seen a black 951 near where I live in Green off of Raber Road but not any others in the immediate area.

I'll keep a lookout for you when I'm out on the Harley Breakout or in my truck. My truck is a white regular cab 6.4L F-350 lifted on 37's, it's kinda hard to miss.

My car is still in the area, but I haven't seen it after it was sold. Son-in-law also had a Steinels modified turbo that left this area and now resides in Toledo Oh.
