Thanks for hosting Mike and a huge turn out this year, def one of the annual summer highlights here in Van city!

I was lucky enough to participate on those test drives, thanks Kevin and Paul.

Testing out some of the best of the H20 GT3s were more than impressive, those 3.6's can really go, rev, literally point and shoot! I can clearly understand what makes them so special. Out of those 2 drives strictly on overall driving feel....hmmm I would actually say the 996 would be the winner by a slight edge.

Thanks Mike for hosting the BBQ.

Good that I brought my 2-year old son to the event. He freaked out when he heard the roaring exhaust note from the Polar Silver 993 Turbo. I guess I will have to think twice if I want to add a Fister II or III.

Good times on Saturday!

Thanks again to Mike for hosting! I appreciate being allowed to attend with my water pumper. :-) It was great meeting everyone and hanging out shooting the breeze about cars over some tandoori chicken.

Baron, glad you enjoyed the spin in my GT3 but disappointed to hear it lost out to the 996! Ha ha ha.

I was pretty blown away by the amazing collection of 993s that showed up. And of course the Ferrari 550! Great event!

Cheers,

Paul

Mark's Turbo is running bypasses, so it's essentially no mufflers. When the Turbo's first start, they are really loud, and then quiet down later.

Did you listen to Paul's or Harlan's cars? - they have Fister III's ...

Air-cooled, water-cooled, cheese-cooled (f-cars), it's all great stuff. The event is a Porsche event, not a 993 event, although the 993's are usually the majority just because the crowd that I hang with predominantly have those...

Beautiful car you have though - I should have gone for a rip, but was a bit busy ..

Cheers,

Mike

I was hoping to make it to this event, but my search for my TT has been off and on and off. It looks like everybody had a great time. Great views, food and based on my previous experience with a prior event a great group of people. Hopefully I can make it next year if the event is held again.

My goal is to do at least 10 years of events, so 2 more BBQ's for sure!

I know finding THE 993TT of your criteria is a real challenge, and the number of people looking seems to be ever climbing - hopefully luck will be on your side, and you will stumble on the perfect match!

Oh, BTW, you do not need a Porsche to attend... just be a gear-head..

Cheers,

Mike
