Hi, John,
You are always welcome to join us on Saturday mornings. And I would love to see your 930 or any Porsche from the dealership - the more unusual, the better. Also, thanks for the info. re the launch party - I would like to attend.

Charles, I'd like to meet up at the Wake Zone and head over the Brier Creek around 9:00. Hope to see you there (at Wake Zone)!

Hi, Michael. Your 911 is outstanding - I'm a big fan. So, I'm unable to accept the critique you posted. I guess you could say I've been a fan ever since you let me drive it. It looks great!

Thanks for posting the picture. See you at Brier Creek.

Michael, fear not, our older 911s are classics. Just like fine wine, get better with age. See you at Briar Creek, I'll bring the 911 this week.

I will definately have to come to one of your coffee meets. I have a 79 930 which is down for some work at the moment. I am sure I could bring one of our dealer cars in the meantime though.

I have not been able to attend the PCA meetings for a long time?

Hi, John

You know you're welcome anytime! You should never feel any pressure about it - after all, it's the weekend!

Alex - Don't work too hard. Rest assured, we'll post pictures.

The rebuild is going well. I put 1k miles on it then tore it back down to make the fuel system adjustable. I wanted to finish it up on sunday, but now I am flying to Cali to dive the 09 Carrera w/ the new PDK transmission, through the mountains of Palm Springs. I should be at the next triangle meeting.

Thank you Bob, I will definately come out and meet you guys. Hopefully next week. Saturdays are hard for me b/c of work, but my boss is always cool with me meeting other P-car enthusiasts

Everyone is welcome to the launch party. We should be getting the email invite out to people on our mailing lists early this week. If you dont get one, no worries, you're all still invited. We will have complimentary beer, wine, and apps. I hope to see some familiar faces, and meet some new ones!

John:
I might be driving from Illinois to Durham this week. Where is North Hills Mall? Is it off of 64 around Cary? I would like to see the 997.2 models. My 911 is still in Illinois but maybe I can talk my wife out of her Cayenne for the evening.

Default Wake Zone Photos and Next Weekend Plans

Great pictures, Michael. Here are a couple that I took prior to our arrival at Brier Creek.

I won't be around this weekend - we have a wedding in MD. See you guys in a couple weeks. Don't let the Wake Zone close while I'm away (like the B&B the last time I left town). And, I'm personally asking Dell not to sell either of his Porsches while I'm away. My ticker can't handle the shock.

See you soon!
Bob

Great pictures Bob....I think we've found you a back-up career as a professional sports car photographer!

Have a safe trip to MD.....

Charles
