Mike, I would like to come if you have room. I plan on being a future Porsche owner and would like to see what it's like working on these beauties.
Absolutely, there will be a real range of owners, from potentials, newbies to old hands. The fun part is seeing the cars on the lift, you can see how they are constructed, and get into good "discussions" about which model is "better".

Weather is looking good, I am getting prepped, should be a good one.

Cheers,

Mike

Yup, another fun day. It's great putting faces to the names. What a great turnout too; at one point there were 16 993s as well as a few 3.2 Carreras, an SC, a Cayman, and a BMW M1. Yes, I said M1. Thanks again for hosting this Mike!

Mike,

Another great BBQ and get together. Some beautiful cars, some fun wrenching-mostly as an observer myself but I did have to wash my hands at one point, and a learning experience. What a great bunch of guys! Also nice to put names to avatars on RL. If I could only remember their names next year.

As always, thanks for hosting the event! Can't wait for next year's BBQ.

Have a great trip to Europe!

What a terrific event. Great people, fantastic cars, beautiful place.

Thanks to the host, Mike J, for putting on the event. How do you get all of that work done on so many cars and still find time to make everyone feel welcome, how?! Such great energy you have! Already looking forward to next year.

Cheers,
Jason

I am relying on you guys to post your pictures...there appeared to be some quite high-end camera gear about. :-)

Had a good time as usual, then rushed to my daughters dance school summer-closing show...it was very good as usual, but got back home around 11:00 - really tired.

I think the real fun started after I got soaked from the first oil dump from Paul's Cayman around 9:00AM...really gotta remember the modern cars and their water-like oil! Great weather, the cars were a treat...got a special kick out the M1, what a machine!

Many thanks to everyone who pitched in, Dennis and Rob who ran the BBQ, and all the other helping hands. It was fun to do a brake job when here are hands to hold the calipers, parts, tools (each with an opinion of course!).

Cheers,

Mike

Wow, looks like a great day, I would have loved to be there. It would have been worth the drive from San Francisco!! I even recognized a car or two from the pics, very cool of you to host that thing Mike. Maybe next year I can grab Darin and Mark from FDM and we can do a road trip. Great people and a beautiful part of the world, hard to beat. Cheers, Paul
