Default Pics of Tech Session

Here are a few pics. Great turn out - 23 people! Good to put faces on screen names! John

Thanks for posting, John. I really enjoyed hanging out at your garage - always love talking Porsche. I especially liked hearing the history of your cup car and learning from all the tricks the factory put into it's development. Man that Mike Mitchel can talk.

Good to see Lord Galva out and around.

Peace to Shaun and Scott who set the gig up and all who showed. We should plan a track day in Winters (piggyback on Lotus club day) and do something similar.

That last shot of Sonora Donn is choice - I know where that's directed.

Hey, Donn is selling that white '86 for $6600 and I got to ride in it from Napa to Sonoma and can vouch for how solid and clean it is - Donn, you have some skills. No rattles, whines or the like. I dont care for the wheels, but whatever - I'm a retro grouch. Otherwise that is a great deal for a 951!

Poo. Knowing I missed this makes me sad. Especially since the car is starting to behave and is running so well these days.

Hey! What about meeting a walking miricle? JK

I too wish we could have gone for a drive. Someone keep me informed if a drive is in the stars. (I don't check the 951 forum that often, just PM me)
I forgot how much I love talking to people who have the same cars and similar experiances.

BTW thats me in the first pic sitting behind the walker.

Thanks John and Shaun and everyone else who hosted (sorry, I didn't get to meet everyone). It was great meeting all the people I did and seeing all the cars. Of course the blue 968 was the star of the day (especially for me because I've been thinking about putting a turbo on mine). That cup car was amazing too - what a work of art and skill.

But that red 968 is really cool too! Too bad digital cameras always ruin guards red.
