I doubt I'll be able to tool on down with my 911, 300 miles is punishing with the track suspension and I can't imagine 3,000 miles. You never know, though.

I'm a strong maybe. 75% yes even. De Jeeper and I could roll down together, plus whoever else is local or on the way.

I’ve got a trailer you can use behind you’re other twin turbo Porsche.

Well the list will be updated as we go, the plan is to do more events with the same group over time.

Ok so that means you’re going to get a lay of the land before meeting us in Nov… I like your style.

The plan is to be in the area from 2-4DEC. I’ll probably be up on the 1st to putt around but we can see who would like to partake in the event. @GC996 mentioned some really nice adjacent rides that can be included. What say you all? I’m open to suggestions. An asterisk by your name just means you're still a "maybe". There are couple dudes I follow on IG that are semi-local(right now that number is 2).
  1. DeJeeper + Miata Friend *
  2. Zbomb*
  3. Type65*
  4. Damage98MO
  5. Justin76
  6. TheChunkNorris
  7. CG996*
  8. 158Sierra
  9. WDB*
  10. Barbancourt*
I'm still a maybe sadly. My Sunday drive must have finished off some rubber bits on my suspension, certainly the coffin arms are pooched, ball joints, they've not been replaced, ever, as far as I can tell. I'm hoping my budget stretches to repairs before December. But hope is not a strategy, a wise man once told me.
Does anyone have 996.1 C2 suspension parts that were in good shape but were replaced with aftermarket due to coilovers and lowering going on? PM me😊.
