Default Drive Your 356 Day!

Is Sept 16th this year. So, do your duty, but if you can't get out Sunday, try Saturday (or Monday, when you finally get the damn thing started)....

I hope I can make it - but my car is with my mechanic for some minor stuff and not sure he'll get it done.

My lawn mower/tractor just died, so I can't even get someone to tow me around the yard this year...

Mebbe I'll take some video of me & the kids sitting in it making motor noises with our mouths...

Sounds like fun! I'd join you if I had one, so I'll be in spirit only, with my 944 (993 is waiting for the distributor belt service)

Steve,
I know how you feel. In the interests of full disclosure, my '65 SC can't make the TnTubs drive tomorrow (oil cooler leak, only doing short drives till I get around to pulling the engine & etc), & I don't even want to think about the '59, however, my mower IS working (so there!), but I refuse to mow this weekend.

Thus, I have convinced a friend to drive his '73T (RS look w/ 3.2 motor) so I can bask in the ignomy of not having my 356 at the annual get-together. {hmmm, but I CAN drive the SC around on Sunday - perhaps to the Symphony (inc my SO in the chorus) performing Beethoven's 9th... yeah - that's the ticket!}

What you need are more friends with more Porsches.
take care.

We'll be leaving in a few minutes to go on our drive.

I'll post a few pictures when we get back. You guys do the same too, okay?
