Ed, thanks for the RSVP, there will be at least one other Carerra there. I am really looking forward to seeing your car, I love that era of 911.

Just got off the phone with the guys at Euroquipe, and eight of their Porsche customers will be attending too. Guys, we have the potential of 25 or more Porsches, the vast majority of them being 993s, all together in one place on a sunny day. Can you say "photo opportunity?"

Who can bring a digital camera tomorrow and take some good pictures? We have to document this and I am a crummy photog, so would love some help with that function....

Bob,
Sorry for not confirming on both events....We will have to see on the Starved Rock drive as the lovely car decided to start leaking oil this evening and I will need to talk with the fellows at Euroquipe tomorrow morning on what they actually think the real problem is.

These damn cars :-)

Thanks again for all the hard work,

Peter

Perfect, Ed...let's be sure to talk soon after you arrive at Euroquipe. I have a limp and will probably be wearing a wrist brace, so I'm easy to find.

Scott and Chris, the more the better for pics, thanks much.

Peter, with all the good Porsche karma we will be generating, there has to be an easy solution to your leak! Here's hoping.....
