Wow. What an amazing turnout. Lots of local guys plus AiRick drove in from Reno just to be there. Whadda dude. Great 993TT, BTW. Mark & Darin from FD Motorsports BOTH made it over as well. Marks' new 997 GT3 is fabulous. We also got Pong (Ruf BTR), and Kevin (Ruf Turbo R) to show up, so for a while we had three RUFs, side-by-side. Lots of great Porsches were there, including two spyders, an immaculate 356, an all original 912, a clean 964, lots of 993s, several 996s and several 997s.

There were several Ferraris, including a Lusso, a Ford GT-40 parked next to a Ford GT. And a really nice 427 Cobra with all the original race decals. A couple of Audi R8s, a few BMWs, including two supercharged v8 M3s. Zipes. Also a totally restored 1967 VW bug convertible. Many others.

A huge group of about 40 sport bikes showed up... they were on their annual bike tour.

What a great community this is. Thanks for letting me part of it.

I have some random pics and will get them posted asap...

sorry I missed the posts above! We could have met in Danville Kevin...

Scott! I would have been happy to go for a quick ride! We'll have to get together another time.

Steve nailed it, great summary. Soooo many 993s!
Eric wins the "hardcore award" for driving from Reno. Nice car! oh, and a nice guy too

Mark's (cosmic 993) wife wins the best spouse award for dropping by on their anniversary
sounds like they had great plans for the rest of the day too

Darin and I had to go back to the shop and replace a starter on a 993 but what a great way to start the day!
met some new peeps and saw a lot of familiar faces.
thanks for kicking this off Scott

Awesome turnout guys! I hadn't driven the RUF in months. As Steve mentioned there were a ton of great cars out including my fav ferrari (360 stradale)!

However, we all know this section is all about 993's. (Ok Mark and Terry's 997's made the cut too!) Here are some shots. Beautiful cars guys! Glad I could take part. Now let's get a drive on the calendar!!

Kevin
