Quite a selection of cars, very cool. Nice setting as well, being right on the water like that.

I was planning on going to that event but ended up working the last minute. Looked like another beautiful day for autoX. Hopefully I will be able to make it to the next event.

I wish I was there... looks like good times. And finally some predictably nice weather! That 901 is awesome. Hey Roger, I got the 944 done. Well, 99.5% done. I can send you pics - the paint came out well, as did the interior converion. I just need to put the door handles and steering wheel on...

Great pics. The Cayman looked sweet. With a mid engine, I would guess it handles like a dream.

The caymans looked great, sounded good and put up some very respectable times......two Caymans came in 18th and 24th place posting times of 54.8 and 55.1 resectively......not bad considering there were 117 cars and the best time was 48.9 done by a very lightweight 914.

Some of my pics & video:


AutoX track w/ million-dollar views










































Cleared for takeoff.


I suck at autocrossing so I ended up finishing solidly in mid-pack. Here's some video of my third & eighth runs:
