Help me find a picture!!!

This has been on my mind recently and I thought maybe some of you guys might know where or how I should start.
Last year on a drive through the Black Hills about two weeks before Sturgis a guy and his gal flagged me over just before one of those cool "pigtail" wooden bridges. He said he had heard the car coming and ask his girl to get the camera ready cause a Porsche was coming down the hill!
They asked me to drive slowly around the bridge while they did some time delay photos.
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK FOR THEIR EMAIL!!!!
How would I start searching for these pics/people any ideas?

Have you considered posting for help on an obscure "car site's" OT forum? Good luck...needle in a haystack search. Head back to Sturgis in the 911...lightning does occasionally strike twice. Aren't I helpful ?

There might be a free version of program like this one; Photo Matching Software

Using a photo of your car you can see if there is a match if it works outside your computer. I recalled reading about one that did.
