Hi Mike,

Actually I am volunteering and will be "in charge" of lot #1.
I have a 95 aventurine green with tan interior (see my sig)
I would love to check your car and your GT3 seats especially as I am thinking of doing this mod.

See you tomorrow

Renaud

Hi Mike,

Nice to meet a fellow 993 owner. Your car is modded to perfection.

Now that I know I can use my rear seat with the GT3 seats you got me in trouble with the wife !!!
She wonders why stock seats in a Porsche have no lateral support, even her GTI is better from that perspective. (That is the only positive though).

Let me know anytime you want to wrench on your car, I am willing to learn more about those cars.

Renaud.

Hi Folks,

I was the head judge today (yeah I lurk here a bit ... LoL)

Thanks to those who visited us today and, thanks for your help.

We would be thrilled to get some feedback on how we can gain more participants.

May I use the photos if we need to for the club ?

Funny ... your post was 2nd on my google search for todays event.

I was the one in the "Crazy Shirt" and Cammo hat ..
That kind of fashion does not happen by accident .
As everyone was reminded of every time the DJ mentioned the event or judging. (but that was the plan)


Thanks again.

Renaud,
I'll be doing an oil change and brake fluid flush in a month or two. Even though it's pretty routine stuff, you're welcome to come over and share a few brews (or vino if that suits your taste better )

Hi Mike,

Sounds good shoot me a PM or rbizet at hotmail a couple weeks before.
I am not sure when was the last brake fluid change done by the previous owner.
So maybe we could fit that in too, I have done it numerous times on the Boxster but not on a 993.
I can bring an extra Motive power bleeder and 2 catch bottles.

Great shots Mike. That orange 911 with the ducktail is something else. One of my favorites!

This was a great event. The 993 class was signficantly under represented with only 2 cars entered in the event.
