I meant at the LA Auto Show...they did drinks one year.

Carson PEC opened to the public Oct 29.
Are they doing any events? Trying to reach out to the community?

PCA breakfast on the 18th, tix went on sale few weeks back. It's in the Porsche Pavilion before show opens and you get admission to the show.
I was hoping for an open bar...a paid breakfast on a weekday. Lame. I already have industry tickets

Default Nobody guessed these

I just saw on MotorTrend's website that a long wheelbase Panamera and a base Panamera will be revealed in LA. No word yet (that I've seen, anyway) on anything of more interest to our forum.

A shooting brake version of the Panamera might actually make the vehicle desirable.

Yep. I haven't missed it for the last six or seven years. Only problem is we can't see anything else, so I always have to go back (usually Thanksgiving Day at opening) to see the rest of the show.

(but I've owned a couple of Panameras and will again, as soon as the Sport Touring is released!)

Yes. Invitations to the event are through the dealerships. Ii call mine every year in late October to remind them to save a place for me.

One thing does not rule out the other.


btw:
is it in US possible to drive a 911 Cup or RSR on the street. (half)legal with insurance?

in EU there are possibilities with a "Motorsport-Registration" as used for rallye cars.

the new 991.2 Cup with the extended lifespan in terms of revisions would be worth thinking about.

I would doubt it,

Being born and raised in Europe and now living in the US I'm amazed and shocked about the differences.

In Florida there is no MOT or equal testing on any vehicles. You run monster truck on road without doors or seatbelts.
I have a 996gt3 with a license plate on the rear bumper. They would laugh at me trying to take it for TUV/MOT in Europe.
Sound, emissions, etc. no testing what so ever.

But, still you can't get a clubsport package out of the door at the dealership. ?????
