I like the new name! You guys have to see his C4S, it looks and sounds amazing. I am sad to see it go, but it did end up in great hands!

Congratulations! I was looking at that one 2 Saturdays ago and it appeared to be flawless. Definitely bring her to the Wake Zone on Saturday, ready for a fun run. We'll look forward to meeting you.

If my camera battery hadn't quit after only 3 blurry pix, I might have a couple of decent shots from the run. I'll post these just to keep the tradition going:




In the midst of the blur, that's Bob, Bruce, Manil and Helmut.

Default Welcome!

Congratulations, AndersOn! I look forward to meeting you.
Dan, we'll be there this Saturday and hope to see you there too.

Fortunately, my wonderful wife uploaded the pictures from last Saturday. They weren't deleted.

Thanks again Michael, Bruce, Manil and Helmut for a great drive in the country.

Here are the pics:

Hello all, just wanted to drop in here and say hey. Although I can't this weekend, maybe one day I will be able make it out to one of the early morning coffee gtgs even though it is probably 45 minutes from my house. If you see this car then it is me, my name is Ralph.



Also, if anyone is interested, the Salvation Army is holding a toy drive/fundraiser at VIR on Friday November the 14th from 8-4. A $25.00 donation will get you 20 minutes of paced lap time. While it is paced and no passing is allowed it is a fun experience for people who have never driven on a road course before. I went last year and was able to get up to 120 on the back stretch, so it's not that limited, as long as grandmas not out there driving her Crossfire at 45mph.(happened last year and the pace car caught up with the chase car. I think some passing was allowed during that session) Also helmets are not required. I'll be meeting up with a couple of other guys I know that morning for breakfast somewhere at the Briar Creek shopping center.

Also here's a news story on it from last year.

Ralph, very nice looking cab.

The Salvation Army/VIR event sounds like fun and for a good cause to boot; I wish there were more of those; I'm going to pencil it in on my calendar.

Please let us know when and where in BCSC once that's determined.

Thanks for the location clarification.

I am going to see if my brother can attend with his 84 Carrera.

I just returned from Chicago, and I'm ready for a relaxing morning of coffee and Porsches. Looks like we may have some new participants and great looking Porsches on Saturday morning. I can't wait.

See you at the Wake Zone!

He's too big for the rear facing and too young for the forward facing.

He'll be back in P-Car soon though!
