Well, about those Boxters ...
This is in no way to be construed as undermining the absolute superiority of our beloved sHARKs,
but...
I have seen a number (3) of Boxters in new condition.
Maybe 7 or 8 924 and 944's in varying condition
from excellent, damaged but shiny, to ratty.
And two of 911 series.
I know there are at least two othe sHARKs in town and heard a rumor of another in Odessa -sister city-.
I am also sure there are other Porsche's in Odessa.
I would like to have a gathering - without the official PCA stamp of approval- for a variety of reasons.
1.Other than Shane or Snow we are probably one of the most isolated of the continental P'car owners.
300 miles from anywhere would be a good motto.
2.The other Porsche series owners probably aren't the OGRE's we sometimes make them out to be.
3. I believe we could have at least a quarterly gathering/breakfast run and be home before the local Politzei make the morning shift change.
4. I believe some of the other Porsche folks out here think that 928's are Datsun Z cars and I would like to set the record straight at a sHARk petting paddock.
5. I have yet to witness the famous P'car wave of recognition.
6.We are being overrun by BMW's and Merc's out here.
7.And to make this a flame thread I would like to include virtually any sports car at the meets- shades of SCCA, Batman -.
Is there some way of going thru the Rennlist or the Big Three etc. to see who's out here and at least communicate the possibility of a meeting of the tribes?

John-
You may remember we sort of did this a couple of months ago. W/o nefarious interference from PCA (except positive comments and publicity); the other P-car owning ogres were generally supportive; with the help of Max, Houston 928 mail list, Austin mail list, Hill Country (Austin) & Longhorn (San Antonio) PCA; & DEVEK for give-aways. You can also search the P-caronline for regional owners. Good luck and let me know if I can help.

Where can I sign up for the Houston mail list? I read a thread a while back about a possible Houston (or coastal) get together. I always seem to miss this stuff it seems due to circumstances. After the new year or by June at the latest, i would like to see what i could possibly do to get involved in organizing a unofficial (or perhaps an official) 928 gathering. Perhaps a 3rd annual 928OCIC in Galveston or something this summer. Galveston is just one idea since we have lots of convention and conference centers down here, but Houston, Corpus Christi or wherever is fine. Just throwing ideas out here. Let me know and I would be happy to help in the planning in whatever way I can.
