Sharks

I am going to bring mine too. Dry, warm, and sunny (for Michigan) and no salt. Sounds like a good time to drive the cars to me.

Andrew, are you driving your beast?

Got an e-mail from Jim Sheridan yesterday so I added him and his wife to the list. Looks like we are in the 24 +/- 4 people depending if everyone remembers to show up. I will send out an e-mail reminder.

See you tomorrow evening ... drive those sharks.

The beast is coming... and I'll be driving the 928 TOO! See you at 7:30.

I imagine the festivities are well under way about now.

Let us know how it went!

Randy V, thanks for the sticky and hope you have a Happy New Year.

We had a great time last night at Chaad’s place. Great turn out and always good to see the gang together. Here are some pics that I took:

1. Chaads wife Susan and baby girl.
2. Dave & Kristine (you guys are crazy) Kowalewski, Stan & Sue, Robert Van Dyke and his wife, and a sliver of Dennis (sorry Dennis).
3. Andrew Olson (with cloths) and his wife, my wife Karen, Big Mac (Chaad’s father-in-law), Mary Pizarek, Robert Budd (wrapped), El Pizarek, Liz (Big Mac's wife), and hour host Chaad.
4. Chaad MC'ing the door prizes provided by Dennis and Robert Budd.
5. My wife Karen sporting her Shark Shade door prize (hope she lets me wear them).
6. Andrew with his Porsche Crest leather brief case (a Robert Budd special).

Thank you to Chaad for hosting the event, Dennis and Robert Budd for providing the door prizes, and Jim Sheridan for providing everyone with their own stuffed shark to take home. Had a great time and hope we do it again next year.

Looks like it was a first-class gathering!

I hope Andrew didn't talk too much with his mouth full.

We were just happy that he kept his cloths on.

OK... ok... you just wait for SIH! I'll give you sometHing to remember. LOL!

Thanks again to everyone for a very fun evening. The folio from Rob-Budd is wonderful! Can't wait to put it to god use. Thanks for the prizes!

In case you were not there, we decided that we're going to try and have a 2nd beer night each month for some of the west-siders like Chaad and BigMac. We concluded that the alternative beer night will be held on the last Monday of each month at the Shark Club in Canton.

Here's a link to a google map. It's right behnd the Panera bread on Ford Rd. just west of I-275.

Yeah, we had a good time alright! I didn't realize how badly I was suffering from 928 Separation Anxiety until I saw the cars all lined up!

I'm glad that everyone took the time to show up, and especially thankful to Mark "Sharks" H. for having the idea and putting it into action! Thanks, Mark!

To Rob and Dennis, thanks for the giveaways; it made the event seem more like a capital "e" Event, if you know what I mean!

My off the cuff trivia challenge left us with more questions than answers. Does anyone know how many 928s were imported by Porsche during the entire model run?

Oh, I will be at the new meetup date on the last Monday of every month in Canton, which is another great idea to bring more of us together and put some more shark in our lives!

Thanks again, guys!

According to my data, 24,565 total US sales including tourist deliveries. So I guess technically you were right at 25k vs. my 24k.

No way, Andrew, you were ROBBED!! But wait, you won anyway, so I guess not really!
