Default Porsche Parade in MI roll call

Okay, Greg and I will be there, arriving Saturday, leaving Wednesday, What other RLers will be there as well? 875 miles on way for us. It will be a long one but it should be interesting!

Jeff,
We'll be taking the 968 to Parade this year. Leaving Friday morning, staying the night in Grand Rapids so we can have a lazy drive into Traverse City. We entered the "Preservation" class for the concours, hoping it'll go well. Which car are you taking? And which route are you taking back? We're going to drive through Canada and stop off at Niagara Falls on our way home. I still have your number in my phone, I'll give you a call Saturday afternoon and maybe we can link up for dinner. Looking forward to see you and Greg again.

Aaron,
We'll be taking Minty. We are going through Canada as well but on both the way there and the way back. I'm in the touring class. Are you registered for any of the meals? We will be heading back first thing Wednesday as Greg has class Thursday morning.

I know we signed up for the Welcome Party and the Victory Banquet, but I can't remember what other dinners we signed up for. We'll be volunteering on registration day for the Gimmick Rally for a few hours. Hopefully it doesn't rain on Monday, but they're saying it's a 30% chance!

Parked next to red coupe at lunch, plate was GRT FUN 2, and met a nice couple from Denver in a silver coupe that he said won the Concours earlier. I think his name was Paul? He said he doesn't forum much...

Tama,
I think you mean silver cab.

We left Thursday after completing the sleeping bear dunes tour.

Jeff/Aaron may know for sure but I think I saw 4 red coupes, three white coupes, one/two each AG and MB, plus the special colors!
We had a great time and had a chance to talk about the 968 to a bunch of Porsche owners who knew very little about them.

Here's a few of the pictures I took.



I think minty looks more stunning in person (this picture seems faded)
