Default Griot's Garage Cars & Coffee

Hosted the first weekend of every month, this is my first time showing up. A lot of nice Porsches, & a awesome day for us in the PNW.

Hopefully we can start to do a Rennlist 993 meet up every month, many hang out then get some breakfast after.

Pics...







Scarlet is right next to the MINI]





Teaser..




Yea, I know the shot is ruined with the red rope.




The only other Renlister I saw, Bruse's 993 & it was dirty.











All of them...

just curious...is there anything in that catalog that is not laughably over priced? Many years ago he was selling cheap carpet padding as tool drawer liners for $10/square foot...honest.

Yea, he has a C4S, it's long gone. He does have a 935, & is restoring a old 930. He also has a few Porsche race cars.

Yea, some of the stuff is laughable. But everything has a 100% money back, if not happy thing. I have used things for a while, then returned them & got all my money back. It's nice to have a company stand behind everything they sell 100% no questions asked.

They have crazy sales at the store every year. That is usually when I get everything I need/want. Like $100 driving shoes for $20-40.

Does he have a red Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 in the garage. He bought it from me about 4-5 years back.

I sure miss the Pacific Northwest. In my early twenty's I lived in an apartment complex in Des Moines at the intersection of 16th ave and S Kent. Some of the best times of my life.
But, back to the point. I have bought a lot of stuff from Groit's. Never thought it was overpriced and liked everything I bought.

Don't know, we were not at his personal garage today, just the store front.

Thanks, yea, the roads were not the best, we headed out for "Toys for Tots" then the "NWHarvest" meet up after. It was a fun filled crazy car day.

You could have come down in another car.

Is it me, or did someone do a really bad job parking that 356?
