Wow what an event. Great things about this year's event and some not so great things. All in all, this has become a premier event. Unfortunately it took an hour and a half to get parked in the main venue even though I was a little early for the time that I was given as a web registrant. I think people showed up way earlier than they were supposed to and it overwhelmed the crew working the event. The people working the event are awesome people. Very cool and professional so I am not knocking them - they were working hard. Many cars were overheating due to idling so long though. Once in, I couldn't believe the cars. Just about everything was there on display. Multiple GT2's and RS's. 934/5's, 904/6's a 49 Gmund and several other rare cars. I do feel it lost some of the intimacy the prior two years and venues offered. Clearly I can see why air cooled values have been moving up as this was an enormous crowd and it seemed like there is a 'new' following that is building around these cars. It was cool to see the passion for these cars yet I have to wonder if they will ever be able to regain some of the intimacy and uniqueness of prior events (especially last year's). To me it looks like this is only going to be bigger next year as each year the crowds have probably doubled with each year. I will definitely go again next year - and hope the parking is a little better

911F1-- Cool photos
Enjoyed the Kühlt cult - you could feel the Luft love in the air!
So many propeller-heads & cool cars in 1 groovy setting.
1 of many highlights was meeting new RLers & old friends like race911, 993C4Rs, producerjohn, C4SJOHN, spdklz, TheBen, salo65, Kika, gonzilla, AZ Targa, jbronsonl, Tony, Frankie & more.
Met an air-cooled fan who drove out from GA. Heard attendees even visited from other countries.
Artsee-- Thanks for your time answering my PM about entrance procedures.
Eichlerman-- Tim, hope my answer to your PM about entrance procedures helped.

Had a great time at Luftgekuhlt, just a little disappointed that I got a spot for the Targa and then ended up not being able to take it out to LA for the show. next time I guess . . . .

Great to see everyone!
I won't bother posting photos of the event--you can see, as Autoweek said in their coverage today, ONE BILLION on the web. So I just did my part on the 993 Facebook page, as reporter on the scene.
I will post one from the Petersen, where we ended up after the event.
What I'd take home? The white 993 GT2, of course. Honorable mention for Canepa's 934--a car I saw 100% apart at their last C&C event of 2015.
