Default 928 OC event in Wilbraham, pics...31 sharks!

Nice turn out, and some left their cars home due to possible showers. The weather was nice, and host Dave Tassinari has a great place for gatherings. Thanks to Dave Lloyd and Dave Tass for putting this GTG on.

more pics. More cars showed up after I took these pics. Dave C did a great tech session on vacuum pressure and everything related in the engine bay. Then there was a tranny tech session by a 928 guy who rebuilds 928 5 speed trannys. Someone should post his contact info here, that is much needed for the early 5 speeds.

Thanks to Daves and to Tass's wife & extended family for a great get-together...and to Dave C for the lift home.

Carl, hopefully nothing will come up and delay me next time I'm supposed to meet up somewhere. Only 6 weeks or so until the Lars Anderson thing.

Tim/animal, your car was looking great when it left, I'm sure it was in good hands, let us know when you're back and we'll go for a drive!
