Default New Hope Auto Show 2011

Porsche had a nice tent with new and several owner's cars. Really poor showing of the p-cars this year however.

I would have taken a ride too if I knew. A better promotion of the event would help Porsche attendence.

Point taken gents...they don't do much in terms of advertising for it.

Next year I'll post a few weeks in advance for everyone here.

Last year was pretty good and one of our 993 brethren took home a 1st place if I recall.

Default New Hope Auto Show Porsche show day was SUNDAY

Hello All:

The reason for the poor turnout of porsche cars at the New Hope Auto Show on Saturday is because Sunday was (and usually is) Porsche day. NHAS changes the field each day to feature 500 cars, you should attend both days to get a feel of how great this show is.
It is my understanding that over 40 porsche were pre-registered, I personally was leading a group of 5 including a wonderful 959. Unfortunately the rain on sunday kept many away.
Still, more than a few die-hard (not the battery) drivers were there in the rain to compete for trophies in different categories of Porsche.
As far as advertisment goes, I saw posters everywhere announcing the show and adds appeared in many newspapers in NJ and PA with a feature article in the Bucks County Herald.
This show is usually the second weekend in August but check their home page in the spring for details. www.newhopeautoshow.com
Actually you can go there to see past porsche winners.
If you love auto shows and Porsche, this show is for YOU.


dont mistake first gear for third while red-lining in second.
