I am not that far from you,NJ's here.
In your area, Zell German Auto in Newark, DE (302) 455-1141 might be a very good choice! The owner's name is Kenn, very knowledgeble guy. Give him a call. Good luck

Welcome to Pa. First, the local chapter of the Porsche club is http://www.rtr-pca.org/. While this season is ending, this site will shortly contain all of the events for the upcoming season. The Autocrosses for this last season were held only about ten miles from King of Prussia. And the Poconos for Driver's Education is just two hours up the Northeast Extension. As for Porsche shops, there is one in Devon (Galbreiths (sp?)), West Chester (Doughterys (sp?)), and Malvern (Performance). I have just scheduled a PPI on an '87 Carrera at Performance because they gave me the time of day (and more than once). Good luck and I hope we meet at one of the events. Dan

Call Performance Automotive in Malvern.
(about 10 minutes from KOP)
610-695-9545
3239 Phoenixville Pike
Actually I just showed up unannounced one day, and they were more then happy to give me a complete tour of the shop.
I am a recent new customer who was referred to them by other rennlist members and have no affiliation.

Laura:
All is well. LOVE the car. Frantically trying to make room in the garage before the first snow..
For those of you who don't know, I found my car through Laura. One of their customers wanted to make it into a race car, but it is entirely too nice for that, so they sold it to me while they found him a cheap beater. Great customer service and a bigger race budget, life is good for my PO!
If you need work done in Southern CA talk to the folks at Hergesheimer.
If you need to have your car brought from CA to PA talk to Horseless Carriage. I'm not sure if the neighbors were more impressed with my car or the rig it got delivered in!

Welcome to the area . I too work in KOP . Feel free to contact me and I can can you the scoop on thr local PCA scene.
I own a 72 911 coupe that I am preparing for the track.
The previousd post about the guys at performance Automotive is a good bet. Pete and Paul have been around Porsche for a long time and are good to get to know.
