That's not fair!!!!!

It's rude to gloat, JP. You can go off people, you know?

I'm not gloating ... just stating the facts, m'am, nothin' but the facts. Besides ... you both had standing invites .. are you SURE you're priorities are properly sorted?

Yup, definitely, someone has to earm the bacon whilst Marc's on his prom(o) tour.

I'm in Madrid to install a 9m Motec system onto a 964 race car & tune it at Alcaniz on Friday, however the hot news today is that my customer has lined up half a dozen more potentials as well as a magazine interview so it looks like the 9m gospel is going to quickly spread around Spain. It's an opportunity not to be missed, just a shame that the dates clashed with Rennsport.

Ok, we'll cut you some slack then. And, you have to admit ... Madrid? C'mon, dude, that city is incredible. Have a Jamon sandwich on a crunchy role for me!

I know Marc is very much looking forward to meeting you and Speedy, but as I write this he will be out of contact for the majority of the day but I'm sure JP will pass on your kindness.
Colin-- Agreed: 993 Speedsters on the vendors' display lawn together would be fantastic.

Update: I just relayed that sentiment to the good folks at Mothers, who want to show Speedy in 1 of their 2 turf spots.
Understandably, they've reserved the other slot for their company car, a World Challenge GT3 RS, maintained by GMG Racing.
As impressive as the WC GT3 RS is, I was biased for SpeedArena, & lucky they didn't hang up on me
At August's Historics, I was able to get a RLer's ride in with them, but apparently every Rennsport slot is sold out on the vendors' field like nothing they've ever seen.
If space opens up & if y'all like, we can try to move you over Sat, or maybe sooner.

Otherwise, SpeedArena's still welcome to take Speedy's spot, period.

JPP-- You phone will be ringing soon with details

Jaeger,
Thanks for your efforts, they are truly appreciated as it would be great to see the two cars together (in bed -JP).

Either way, since I can't be there I'm looking for lots of great photos.

Update: With a little encouragement Mothers graciously opened the floodgates to allow more RLers' 993s!!!

Have even more fun finding folks & their 993s below (Darin's, Pauly993's & more):

From a friend's blog, "DigitalDTour" (digitaldtour.wordpress.com)...

A friend had been invited to show his car at their transporter.

Asked a photographer friend to get shots of all the 993 Speedster he could find, just for you

How do you like his work? Leave a reply on his blog!
Posted yesterday on "DigitalDTour" (digitaldtour.wordpress.com)...

"Love, you drive me to distraction…Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV, Part 6"

And our efforts were rewarded, as two rare Porsche 993 Speedsters had been staged out front of the Mother’s display.










And tucked back in to the right of the Mothers transporter, a Black and orange accented, GT3RS model…

Please stay tuned for my final installment - Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV, Part 7

From baubles to Prada...
...this "Rennsport Reunion" cross-post belongs here with our other happy snaps

Alois Ruf and his daughter strolled over and started talking with Marc Clowes from 9m .. and I totally missed it ... BTW, I think the Prada bag is real ..

So, bit confused so please pardon the question, but is this post your way of saying that the last photo you took of JP's Speedster was in 2011, Jager?
