My plan is to get down to 928 Int'l for a project parts stock-up sometime early-mid afternoon, then over to the Marriot after that, say around 4-5 for the meet/greet. See you there!

I did a test drive of Angeles Crest Highway yesterday to see what's open, and burn off a bit of gas. Very pleasant. I'll post to the other thread on that.

Hope all of you guys attending have a great time. If you end up driving ROTW, that was always my favorite of all of the SF drives we did. Stay safe and take lot's of pics!

I have to admit Keith, SF '05 had several very nice touches, it's my fave.

Look for me in my '05 polo...

Seems Mr&Mrs Swift have an anniversary coming up..

Due to pressing personal commitments, I will be unable to attend this year's Sharktoberfest. This will be the first one I've missed since its inception.

Hope everyone has a good time, and stays safe on the fun run!

I left yesterday around 7:30 am to rainy weather and about 60degrees... got into the Fullerton Marriott at 11:30 after hitting two traffic jams..one in Sacramento (rush hour) and one at 11:00 at night on 5 in LA...Does this place ever not have traffic LOL . I figured I should just push through since no one else came down from the Pac NW..so just about 16 hours of driving...and as soon as I got through Portland OR...the weather cleared and temps got into the upper 80's>>>Nice..very nice . The GT ran flawlessly and hit triple digits many times. The V1 also saved me a couple of times too...mostly here in Cali, the troopers here seem to be out in full force. I parked next to Dave (Sharkskin) in the covered parking.

Last time I ran the whole trip in one day was back in 98 when I flew down to 928 Intl. to pick up my first 928 (a 84S 5sp) that Mark thought was too good to part out. Flew down and caught a shuttle to 928 Intl....browsed the shop for a bit..hopped in the 84 and drove all the way back home.. ..

Cya all when you get here...

Wish I could be there to see/meet the lot of you, but it's all good. Roger left his fine English tea and good wine for us to drink in his absence. Hope everyone is safe and has a great time.

Thanks Mark Anderson for the event. We had a great time, and as usual the BBQ was terrific. Gotta make a note to stop by and buy some for home There were some very nice cars today and had an opportunity to meet some folks that I hadn't seen in a while. Thanks again Mark and hope to see you at Willow Springs in December
