Default Rennlist Meetups

I am a lucky guy.. as I get to travel around the world once in a while, and see great cities. I have made it a habit to try and find RL'ers when I can and share some time.

Fortunately I was able to grab a quick dinner and a walkaround Manhattan with Ilko last night. Here is what our nostrils look like on a murky October night in the Big Apple. He was very generous with his time, and it's great to meet other RL fans out there.

(He's the handsome one on the left- was trying to shoot up at the buildings with one hand...awkward...)

(I have also met some other fans from Toronto and Sydney, NSW, and when I get home I will try to remember to post them here.)

Anyone else? Let's put them up here!

Love this thread, I have the same goal!

I've been luck enough to meet a couple:
Andy Roe
Andy (Porscheholic)
Dave (dfinnegan) -are you coming back into town soon?
Drknauf
Martin (from 964 RS database)
+ lots of guys from the 911 forum at PelicanParts!

Years back I introduced myself to Andy Roe when I noticed he lived in Paris. We met up at a cafe while I was on vacation. I really missed my car (away for two months) and it was great to meet another guy who would willingly talk about 964s for hours. He was gracious enough to call me the next day and invite me on a road trip. "How about a day trip to visit Le Mans. We can take the 964 on the circuit and walk the museum." Hell yes!

Then the following year we met up again and went to Classic Le Mans. That was the best time ever!
Link to tons of pics: https://picasaweb.google.com/udoreis.../ClassicLeMans



I'm still trying to connect with some guys who live in the area, so I hope to add more to the thread in the future.

Let me know if you find yourself close to Chapel Hill, NC. OR VIR
