Great pictures everyone. I was out at Laguna Seca in the Porsche corral on Sunday morning. I was surprised how many cars I recognized from r-list but apparently not when the owners were around. Drove the parade lap with my three boys in the car. A good time was had by all, especially by my 10 year old 'round the corkscrew.
Went out to Pebble on Saturday and then to Porsche Zentrum at Quail where I got to drive a Panamera 4S. It was great, the PDK is terrific (the buttons work just fine though they are bassackwards from the paddle shifters in my BMW), and the car is a lot better looking in person than in pictures.
Wish we could have gotten there earlier in the week. Looks like there's a lot of free stuff then, and since I was toting three kids I had no interest in paying the $150 admission price to Concours.

Holy cow, great pics everyone. I'll try to get some of mine shrunk and posted tonight.
I'm very supprised that I'm not in the background of any of FlatSix911's pics taken Sat. at Pebble Beach.

Fantastic photos, all.
Big congratulations to everyone receiving awards, like Atan.Ted-- Yes, next year you should arrange a dinner
... the 2nd annual!
We had 20-25 Porschephiles on the patio at Tarpy's last Sat. Missed seeing you again.
PJ-- Great RS pix.
Jeff-- I hope the below fella's a friend of the owner! This an authorized touch?

Wow! Great pictures! I've been checking this thread a couple times a day all week. Thank you for allowing us to live the events vicariously.
You almost had me with the link to the drive from SLC thread Jager. If there had been a recent post on that thread I probably would have walked out of work and joined them.
Debbie (my wife) says Joanne is invited on all our trips now. She seems like she would have a good time everywhere she goes.

Incredible week, but woulda been better with you 2 & your Arena Red 993 or Debbie's Boxster.
You're right - Robert & JoAnne are mobile fun. So much that I already called dibs!
