Wow, those seats in Raymond's car look fantastic! I'd have liked to have 'experienced' those ..
But I have to say, I don't miss the July 'Squalls' up there ... Hope everyone had a good time, though .. it sure sounds like it :-)

By the way as you know I showed the car after the event to a local buyer. He loved it ( what's not to love) and thankfully I did not scare him with a lurid slide at WOT during the test drive So my car goes in for PPI this week... it looks like I maybe parting with her after all these years... It hit me on the way back home... letting her go is not going to be as easy as I thought it would be...
Cheers,
Mike

Another MikeJ Shop Day-BBQ in the books! This years event was a bit stiffled by the constant rain and cloudy mist. The rain beaded off the windshield all the way up from Seattle, MikeS(Stealth993) who arrived the evening before from Tacoma was just pulling up onto the lift for what we all thought would be a routine SS brake line and oil change. Danny's red cab was the odd car out amongst the collection of black and silver 993s and Boxster.
Thanks Raymond for stopping by with your car with the seats that you are importing. They will offer a great seat option for 993 owners. I didn't get a picture of the interchangeable seat inserts but they offer the owner to change out the center sections of the seats with a cross stitched pattern inserts as well as alcantara or fabric.
A Big Thanks to MikeJ for again hosting another great event and Danny for being this years Grillmaster! It was great to see everyone, Rob, Dennis, and Gary especially.
Tim Moffat?? No show?? Too rainy?? Dennis got his car wet!

I was sitting in Mike’s garage sipping a cold beer and looking at a display of gorgeous 993s outside. Mike’s beautiful Targa was on the left and behind me the barbecue was giving off the delicious smell of cheese burgers. Once in a while there is a whiff of motor oil from the workshop where some of the guys are wrenching on the cars on the right. What more can you ask for on a Saturday afternoon. Got to meet great people and saw a bit of Mike’s handy work. I even test drove Mongrelcat’s 993 which has some of the upgrades I wanted… great setup. All the cars were in such great condition that it inspired me to wash my rims and fix the parking brake warning light when I got home that afternoon.
Looking forward to next year!

Great ^^ commentary alcanada! Perfect prose to set the scene and match Harlan's terrific photos. I really enjoyed the car-swap and fun run up the canyon and back. Your car is truly great. Awesome time.
Mike,,,, your hospitality was amazing, as usual. Thanks for once again providing a venue for any and all to really get to know these cars, up close and even underneath in a few cases!!,, And for so generously sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Highlights;
Mini-tour with alcanada, so much fun.
Rob for the chat and preview of Mango.
Danny for the very enlightening chat, many thanks for sharing.
BS-sesh and with Moffat and co. at the afterparty, thanks Tim, terrific hospitality and insights.
Stealth Mike,,, really appreciate you taking your time to share your wealth of knowledge of these cars and more.
J.Graham, great to catch up with you too, and sorry you didn't get a chance to have the SSK/Goldenrod fitted...
Lowlights; Absolute downpour on the way home at around midnight (highest wiper speed could not keep up, at times.) I think I need some turbo wiper motors for next year.
