Default Hershey 2018 - 968 event?

Although I live in Connecticut I would consider putting together an evening get-together in combination with the annual PCA swap scheduled for 4/21.

Any interest?

You could drive down,
Show your 968
Check out the swap
We could do a dinner on Saturday night at one of the local locations.

We may have a special 968 exhibit for you this year as well......

Let me know.

Jeff, great idea. Unfortunately I will be traveling out west that weekend so I can't make it.

Jeff, we're planning on going and will likely take the 968 if the weather finally warms up enough. Would love to get together Friday night, we've got a room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Hershey.

Count me in Jeff! I will be attending the Hershey Swap Meet. It would be a delight to see a strong 968 presence.

I did not get a lot of interest. We'll see what the weather looks like.

The weather forecast for Hershey looks good, mostly sunny 58/40. Perfect day to take the 968s out! What's the 968 forecast for Hershey? From Hershey thread so far I'm confirmed along with ramius665, jsheiry.

Awesome Jeff! I will be driving over today. It would be nice if all the 968s could park in the same location...

We’re parking in concours... it’s only $5 more than regular parking. Hope to see everyone there!

Wish I could be there, mine just came out of winter hibernation and the rear spoiler is loose, and sunroof needs gears.
Please keep an eye out for 16x8 rear Cup I wheels

Hershey stuff:

I saw maybe 6-8 968's at Hershey. Petes (love those Ruf wheels), Ramius nice cab, Jeff's Minty, Gorgeous Red Coupe in the concours section (did not meet owner, Jeff pointed out the interesting 18" Cup II's they filled the wheel wells nicely). Various others parked around, 2 next to me from PA Red Cab and white/blue top cab. Others parked here and there. Met a few new faces, very nice weather for the show.

Minty won 1st place in the 924, 928, 944, 968 Concours Congratulations Jeff/Minty. Love the color, obviously by the comments of people walking around they did too.

968 parts scattered around the booths, pricing oddly high IMO. Some stuff new in packages asking more than Sonnen? Some stuff used asking more than Sonnen??? I guess they wanted to take that stuff home...separation anxiety! Regrettably did not take pictures, busy walking and looking at parts spaces.

Had a nice day in the cab, went to the winery on the way home to balance my wifes patience for looking at so many P-car parts. Hershey is only 2.5 hours for me so a fairly easy trek.

I was hoping to make the big H this year but it got here before I had made any arrangements. Maybe next year... Glad everyone had a great time and contrats to Jeff.

Thanks for the event update. Was wondering how it went. Way to bring it home Jeff.

I take it that is your cab behind your beautiful and lovely wife. Beautiful car...Beautiful wife...Your doing things right John!

Only one thing to add: Top down, windows down. It's the law....

My best to you and your wife.
