Hey Phil, are you up to 2,000 miles yet? You need to get to the "official" break-in point before the tires rot off the car!

Well, if you promise to come along for the drive, then he might show up.

Maybe one time we'll get to meet for a drive in the middle somewhere.

Please consider coming. Obviously, a fun run is not worth a 9 hour trip, but the Philadelphia area is a wonderful destination for tourists. History....culture....sports....nice roads.....the Atlantic Ocean and our famed New Jersey beaches.....etc. How does that sound - a mini vacation during which you could participate in the fun run?
I'll buy you breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. We'll make you feel at home. We'll watch over you and take care of you. Deal?

I tried....I tried. There's a driving tour in Rockville, Maryland on May 6th, but even that one is pretty far from got911. The challenge seems insurmountable!

This is the first Hemmings Show. I believe it is cars prior to 1989. The cars will be parked along the front straight. I've attend cars show there before (sunday of labor day weekend) They are usually large shows with hundreds of cars.
Featured mark for this show is porsche. Anyone who drives up with a porsche will get preferred parking (porsche only grass lot) near the show itself.
There are usually tents set up in the grass with vendors, etc. Limerock is very good for familes, bring the wife and kids.
Last labor day weekend, the featured mark was Mini Coopers and over 800 showed up. I expected a lot of porsches.

If you want more 993s to show up you'll have to post on the 993 forum and tell them that we said that they were afraid to show up, as the 996 and 997s would leave them standing... that should stir up the hornet's nest enough to get them to show.
