Default Thanks, Magdaddy!
Next weekend: Rennsport Reunion.
A vendor wants to feature Speedy on the grass near PCA's "History of the 911" display.
As long as that works as planned, I hope to get a few friends' 993s in, too.

Thanks to RLer Magdaddy, finding me should be easy, whether approaching from the front, rear ... or even above:
I just received 11 custom Speedster nametags from him!
Whether or not you bring your own Speedster, stop by, say hi & grab a tag!

See Magdaddy! What did I tell you? What did I tell you??






Jager, honey you know I love you.... Can I have one of yours so I can save one of mine for the guys? You know, just in case I don't have enough of them to go around.

Those admiring your avatar will want yours, not mine
...uh, love, that is!

I talked to JPP last night, & our plan's to give out extra nametags to anyone who pledges to make a Speedster :^)

Last thing MagD said to me was, "I know you'll take pictures."
So far, so good...

Joe somehow modified every single one by hand from the original image of a coupe:
the clam-shell / Speedster hump has the perfect arch of a talented calligrapher.
Well done, sir!

Speaking of nametags, eveything at the Santa Fe Concorso was first-class, down to the pre-laminated tag / credential you see above.

Back on the road to Concorso:

Supposed to be a lot of Porsches at Laguna Seca next weekend: let's meet & try to find it.

How about this:

I had a real old fashioned Speedster and I am the proud custodian of a little bow wow Speedster.... can I have one now?

Can't wait to see everyone. <Fill in the blank> coming with you this time?



Oh and THANK YOU. You are way to kind to old women.

Likewise. I'm envious since I can only be there one day. My wife arrives Wed to help with Speedy's logistics.
Just a few moments ago she happened to say how's she looking forward to seeing you again.

Of course I am but what's that got to do with you?

Cool ^^
Speaking of the Santa Fe Concorso, I was actually asked to drive a new black Speedster there.
Hmmm. Guess what my answer was?

Cell phone shot I took before being handed the keys:




Lucky someone else shot this cell photo as I took off (note Speedy in the background):

Smile photo fun with reflections
I may not be able to compare to the rich, deep reflections 911Jetta (Udo) captured on a special-order black Speedster,
but hope you like two more cell attempts:




Me trying to swap paint with the La Mesita Equestrian Ranch...

Looking in the rear view mirror, I see it's time to get back on the road:

...Morgan Aero, Lotus Evora S, 1956 AC Bristol, & more on my tail!

Any friend of RJT (JoAnne)'s -- aren't we all? -- who hasn't seen yesterday's "11/8/11 NEWS UPDATE....... for Boobies" post may want to click here.

enjoy this PTS yellow:
