John Walker's Swap Meet at the Phinney Ridge Community Center, Saturday 8a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone interested in meeting up in downtown Bellevue on Main Street for early coffee with other sport car enthusiasts, then driving over to see if there are any cool sport seats for sale? Beer and lunch at the 74th Street Ale House afterwards?

Thanks, Harlan. I'm going over from Capitol Hill, hopefully lots of cool stuff. I'll be the old fart in the white nike ball cap with the 'Route 66' pin on the front ....

There was a change in venue for the Saturday morning meet up of rare and exotic cars to Redmond Towne Center's west parking lot near Desert Fire and Claim Jumper some time ago.

It happens at 7:30-10:30 so I'll be out there before heading over to the swap meet if anyone has time to join me.

The Bellevue thing is gone, they moved over to Redmond Town Center.

When I did the swap meet last year, there really was nothing there for the 993, mostly the older stuff.

I would love to meet up, but driving from Tacoma to Redmond, then over to Seattle, is a bit much & I don't feel like getting up @ 6am on a Saturday.

Have fun!!

It would be AWESOME to get a bunch of 993's out @ RTC!

Every Saturday morning a group of car local enthusiast gather with their lastest and greatest toys to show and tell. Attendance was light according to the regulars on this warm summer morning in the Pacific Northwest.

These are a few images from the day.

Nice pics, Harlan. I went to the swapmeet, but no hardback sportseats
But I did find two models of the Porsche Panamericana, the 'Dune Buggy' type design study that the factory did back in the '80's. It was this study that helped inspire and develop the 993 Targa Roof and many other 993 features. Anyway, two models for $15. Not a bad morning....

Nice shots!

We need to do a RTC gathering this summer! It would be awesome to have 10+ 993's there!!!

Yeah, Seafair weekend, Blue Angels, vacations, short notification... Interestingly my 993 didn't even get a second glance with the other cars there.

Well, when you have $500,000-1,000,000 cars, all lined up, it's easy to over look a "old" 911. The crowd there is mostly "new & expensive" type. Being silver doesn't help. My first time there, I drove the C4, & parked it in-between 2 other silver 911's one GT2 & one GT3. Yea, I also felt a little out of place, but it was still fun.

Were there the 6 Orange Lambo's there?
