Default 4th Annual Houston 928 Christmas Gathering - The Woodlands Dec 30

Last year we had a great turnout (about 10 cars) and discovered some new parking and eating options, so let’s stick with what worked and meet on Sunday evening, Dec 30.

We’ve met in the mall parking lot for the last 4 years, but it was too crowded last year so let’s meet at the pay lot where we ended up last year, just south of the river at about 4pm. Park along the back row. We’ll hang out for an hour or so, then make the short walk to Baker Street Pub for dinner/drinks.

We’ve got several new faces in the group, including Shawn from the Woodlands who will hopefully bring his newly turbo charged 86. I’ll be bringing my 86.5 to show off its new top end refresh and powercoating.

Please let me know if you are going to try to make it so I can setup a reservation.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hey, Don, that looks like the way to set up a GTG. I wish I was close enough to be there with all of you. How about taking a few pictures and doing a little write-up about the event for The Shark Vibes.

I think about you often there in The Woodlands mainly because I thought it was a nice place when I went there last year to get the seats from you, but also recently because a client of mine is moving there with his child from a divorce situation and we had to go to court to get permission to go there with the child. We succeeded with that. I know he will have a nice life there.

Jerry,

We always take pics and I'd be happy to write something up for the newsletter. I'm actually in Cypress about 30 min from the Woodlands.

Jeff,

Hope you can make it! If Tony and Herman make it again this year, that would be three out of town guests.

Don;

My wife and I are planning on attending. We are new 928 owners (just bought our S4 earlier this year) and are looking forward to meeting some of the other Houston area owners.

Steve,

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your wife. PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite to the Houston Google Group so you can keep up with any future gatherings and communicate with local owners directly. Also, let me know if you have any questions on your new car.
