Hey good timing, get over to Sebring track at end of this month, the biggest PCA club race will be there that weekend. There are a few 993s running including me and mine, great way to see a lot of great cars. Come by and say hi and welcome to the Sunshine State.

I'm actually in Sunny Isles for the next 3 months... driving a Camry.

Are there any autocrosses that are local to So FL? I can't see anything. PCA, perhaps?

I used to organize South Beach Breakfast Club (SBBC) with buddies of mine, once a month, 7 am or thereabout (used to be real early, then later) but that hasn't happened for ages.
We actually did the annual Key Largo run for few year before PCA "stole" the idea and is now doing it.
It's a fun drive/route and place to go to. Driving roads here are boring as hell so nowhere there really is exiting driving but it's more about cathering etc.

Your questions got me thinking that it's time to start doing the SBBC again, check out our Rennlist subforum called DCI (Driver's Club International). From there you can see local stuff, car shows etc. what's happening down here.

Here's a photo of our drive to Oyster House in South West Corner of Florida.

Welcome to Coral Gables u7t297. You should go to the PCA Key Largo Brunch. Last year was awesome about 72 Porsches. I am very close to the Granada Gulf Course. I have a garage queen 1997 Cabriolet.

Congrats on your move to Florida. Enjoy that beautiful weather. Thanks again for all your help and advice when I bought my 993 a few months ago.

Passed by a silver 993 cab like yours that had [I believe] sport classic wheels parked alongside The Collection building. I have signed up for this drive/brunch. I'll be the guy with the silver C2S and the out of state plates

Factory wheels from a 993 Targa.

Hi Guys:

Dukerdog yes they are Factory wheels 993 Targa. The car came with them. I believe an expensive option when the car was bought since they were standard for the Targa but not the other models. Thank you for the car compliment. I do not drive her much. I enjoy doing the fixes myself and polishing her. A/C garaged.

Hi u7t2p7 look forward to meeting you on the Key Largo drive. I will look for you. My name is Roberto and of course you know my car.
