Default XPOST: East Bay GT car get-together

I’m gauging interest in setting up a regular, casual get-together, focused on Porsche GT cars, in the East Bay of the San Francisco area.

What do you all think of the 3rd Sunday of the month, around 9am (first GTG would be July 16th)? In terms of locations, I suggest City Center in San Ramon which has good parking, easy freeway access and a good coffee shop (Philz).

Disclosure: I usually hang out in other sub-forums, mostly the 997 GT forum.

/Alex

Bumping this thread. Let's aim for a GT-car focused get-together at 9am on Sunday July 16th at
which is in the eastern corner of the shopping center and has plenty of parking. All cars are welcomed of course but it'd be nice to get some GT cars together.

Hope to see some of you there this Sunday. I'll be there in a white 997.1

Think y’all might head to Alice’s one of these days? Would be interested in meeting up and seeing the rides. GT3 gone but have a GTS if that’s acceptable.

I can't wait to source and close on my 991 GT car so I can join in on these meets. I don't think you're going to take too well to the M4 CS or my E46 M3. :/

last bump: hope to meet some of you this Sunday 7/16 at 9am. Also, since I got feedback that the Google map I previously shared didn't load correctly for some people, the address is 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd #1609, San Ramon, CA 94583. That's the address for Philz Coffee in City Center / Bishop Ranch. It's in a less trafficked part of the center and has plenty of parking.

Would love to join but have another drive conflict that day - would be great to have a peninsula side one at some point too (San Ramon is nearly 1 hr away for me). Have fun folks!

Excellent turnout today!

Thanks for coming out.

Let’s make this a regular 3rd Sunday of the month event. I realize the next date August 19 is during Monterey Car Week but let’s see who can make it.

Enjoy the pics
