Been away; just finished a project for PCA.
Time to re-live that magical weekend Fest!
Tim-- Thanks for the e-mails; can't wait to see your pics
Graeme-- That was a nice surprise I finally responded.

Nathan-- Got your e-mail. Back at ya!

ALL attendees-- I just e-mailed Nathan a group pic I took. Given my meager photo skills - especially with night lighting - I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised to see that shot of our happy bunch.

Seems everyone's purposefully avoided posting clear photos of other folks' faces on this thread, so I kept up the trend by not uploading it here.
Consider contacting Nathan if you'd like him to e-mail it to you, if you attended this year & would like a souvenir.

Speaking of photo souvenirs, RLer zmayne e-mailed, & asked me to share:




He was nearly standing on my seats -- not that there's anything wrong with that -- when he took this action shot at speed around a corner. You can barely see two tumbleweeds entering the frame from the right. Immediately after he snapped the shot, my evasive maneuvers made for a very exciting time




Plus, his pics of that silver Speedster:

Yours was an amazing trip: 1 of the longest drives to get there, then you had to leave ASAP because your boss needed you.
Your employer's lucky to have such a loyal worker. ...with a bullet-proof 93 who loves to drive

Now THAT was a surprise! Anyone else take home 'souvenirs' from that back road? ... I mean, character spots

A more enjoyable memory:

In 2009, I drooled over a RLer friend's GT2 displayed at the Porsche paddock during Monterey's Laguna Seca Historics.

Watching it back into the slot next to my bucket of bolts 4 years later was priceless




Covered in bugs killed fast, Speedy found her happy place:
between Ray's traffic-stopping blue & a GT2

Just don't post any pics of my red jalopy next to Graeme's perfectly put together C4S

Nathan & I agreed Triple G's 993 made our red cars look pedestrian in comparison. Maybe it's just as good that he blocks us out here

OK, big fail on my part for not posting my pics yet (of limited number and dubious quality, may have had a couple "pop"). They're on my laptop. And I'm on iPad and away a lot. Excuses.

Great variety of 993s represented with C2, C4, C2S, C4S, Targa, Cab, Turbo, and of course GT2 and SPEEDY styles all represented. Jaeger I love the action shot behind the black C2. Got to stare @ TripleG's *** most of the way home (his car.....lets be adults).

There were lots of cameras there, lets see some pics!

And again, big thanks to Nathan and his family for organizing. Putting something like this together is probably similar to herding cats!

In case you forgot how cool it was, I posted a blog about it. No photos you haven't seen here . I just had a few free moments so finally whipped up something. Something about a new child, new job and a move 1800 miles to Colorado got in the way.

Thanks for the blog. I think you did a great job of whipping it up. It is never too late. Oh BTW, congratulations on the new kid, the new job and I hope you got to drive the 993 to Colorado...

Anyway's... to complete the blog ... not that I care for the credit, but I was the only one without a 993 (but enjoyed it almost as much) and was able to take the picture of all the cars ready to leave Issaquah.

Hey Cactus,

I captured this shot on our early morning commute. The colour is one of my favorites and the ROTtec Ruf wheels look great in motion! PM me your email and I'll send you the RAW file.

Cheers.
