Yup, I was thinking the same thing.

I'm bummed that I missed the meeting - nice cars. I'm currently sitting here in Cary and haven't seen a single Porsche since I arrived this afternoon.... I was looking for Dell everywhere.

I'll admit that you guys have some nice roads and beautiful scenery around here.

I hate that I missed coffee with you guys, and the car show. The open road was calling this weekend....... on the motorcycle. 3-day trip, about 800 mi, with 40 other Ducatis! Next weekend is Barber, I hope to see you guys the following weekend.

Missed the car show as well. Wanted to head over but we decided to turn Scott's GT3 into a Cup Car

Something about "lift-time" that always calls me home

I have a sneaking suspicion we'll have a great drive this coming Saturday!

Apparently, "ball washers" for Tiger are a dime a dozen!

Great drive today! Thanks for leading Scott and gracing us with the sound of an unmuffled GT3

Michael (black 911)
Manil (black 996 C4S)
John (red 986)
George (black 996 CAB)
Dell (slate grey 996 Turbo)
Scott (speed yellow GT3)

A few guys couldn't make the drive but enjoyed coffee beforehand. Less than 2 week until VIR!!!!!!

I forgot my camera today , but still a great day today!I I bet Michael will post some pictures.
  • Scott; Yellow GT3
  • Dell; Grey TT
  • Manil; Black C4S
  • Michael; Black 911
  • John M.; Red Boxster
  • Rich; Blue Boxster
  • George; Black 996 Cab
  • Randy; Blue 996 Aero

Most of the talk focused around the upcoming trip to VIR which we are all excited about. The weather was awesome and the drive was great. I was also able to showcase the bypass pipes to the rest of the coffee crew. Again, because I forgot my camera today, I don’t have any pictures from the marina, which was gorgeous.

===========
Edit: I can see Dell snapped a pic with his phone

Correction...Car will not be outside...it will be under a carport!! Wikipedia says "Carports offer less protection than garages but allow for more ventilation."
So there you have it...my 4S will breathe better in storage and hence will be faster than all you guys when I drive it

Here are a few shots of today's fun run. In order, Scott, Dell, George, John and Speed Racer in his "ventilated" 4S.

nothing like being on the road with some good friends.... looks like a nice drive! Sometimes I feel it being more satisfying than the track since you can be out there for hours...... oh and there's no registration fees. Nice pics guys!
