...Thanks! You made for the best road trip AND summer vacation EVER. Dead serious.

Anything I can do to help 944fest fly for next year, let me know.

Thanks! I really wasn't expecting it, as there were nicer 944's than my own, but the crowd has spoken

Glad you enjoyed it, Geoff! I'm proud to say it is an event like no other. Guys like you who drive 1/2 way accross the USA to be there really motivate me to make it special! It was great to meet you, I'm glad it was worthy!

Absolutely. I'd have paid good money to attend an event like that. I'd drive halfway across the world if I had to... BTW, I'm still in ohio, so if you're up for a detail, gimme a ring

are you kiddin? it's true, my dad did offer to let me bring the turbo... Did I jump on that opportunity? No. it's not my car. it wouldn't have the same special feeling as going cross-country in my car, that I built the power plant with my own two hands, have maintained for the last 4 years, and developed a road-trip history with. I seriously, will not go on a road trip without the 924S. it's just not the same, and not as fun...

not to mention, the turbo would get me so many tickets! I thought I had one today, I'm cruisin the highway, and look behind me, unmarked car on my **** with the lights flashing, I have a mild stroke, and move over a lane, and he blows right by me... I then proceeded to the nearest proctologist's office and had them remove a tan Porsche script seat from my bum...

Dayton to Cleveland is a long haul just for a wax job. I think I owe my Glacier Girl a personal rubdown after a few of my tricks this last weekend..

Wes, I would really like to but I'm celebrating my B-day with family tomorrow, and back to work Wed for night shifts for 4 days. Are you going to be in town past the weekend?

Dan, Should you head this up next year (it's a damn shame people can't be more respectful and mature), I look forward to meeting you. I second the "gate fee", WTH.

Geoff, I'm very intent of getting out there next year!

Turbo's get tickets? hahahaha. People flip me $hit but my mini van is saving my liscense, and I drive her like my NA!

Seriously - you're mistaken. NOBODY stepped on Dan's toes. He threw ONE Heck of a party. If you believe somebody "ruined it" for the fest, you need to go back and re-read some posts. You've missed a confession or two.


Not intending to sound redundant - I repeat what Porschephile has said - this was THE BEST trip and vacation ever - Dead Serious!

Dan - you are the man!

And Porschephile, it was great meeting you.
