I'm leaving for the Bean & Bagel in 5 minutes, in case any of you early-risers are checking to see if anyone will be there. I need me some coffee and bagel!

Just got back from the meet and let me tell you what a nice group of guys. There was a beautiful C4s in basalt I believe and a couple of aero 996s. Cannot express enough what a solid bunch of guys these are and I will try to make it out a little more often. Oh and Charles thank you for the suspension insight, much appreciated

Great to see everyone this weekend - still my favorite way to start it. It was great to meet the new attendees - Martin (C4S), Ian & Tori (Boxster), Peter (Boxster) and Al-x? (996). Randy, Michael, and Charles were there, too.

I ran into Greg (Ferrari 308) on 64 later that day - he may join us again one Saturday soon. Such a great looking car.

Dell - I'll see you at the B&B next weekend. FYI - we're still discussing a drive that's relatively local and ends at lunch somewhere.

Here are the pics - see you next week (if you're not at the BBQ Run).

Nice meeting you Alex and hope you will visit us again soon....Glad to help a fellow Porsche guy find ways to spend money on his car...

There was 4 of us this morning - Dell (GT3), Michael (911S), Martin (C4S) and me (996). It was great to catch up with Dell and the GT3. Afterward, Michael, Martin and I drove around the countryside for about 30-45 minutes - a great way to wrap up the morning get-together.

Next weekend is Parade in Charlotte. I may stop in for a bagel and coffee before hitting the road on Saturday. If I don't see you in Charlotte, I'll see you at the B&B the week after.

PM me if you'd like to travel to Parade together or if you'd like to meet up in Charlotte. My wife and 3 boys will be with me at Parade.

Safe travels, everyone!
Bob

Another great way to start a weekend.

Following Bob through some curves:



And some straights:



From several attempts to capture Martin in my mirrors, this was the best I could come up with.



In formation:



Martin and Bob, here agreeing that the 1988 Carrera is the best, most beautiful 911 ever!

Awesome pictures, Michael. How were you able to hear Martin and me from that distance?

Sorry you guys missed the Hurricane Region BBQ Run the same day. Nearly 40 Porsches (plus a Ferrari F430 Spyder and an Aston Martin Vanquish) to VIR and back. Great fun, great roads, great barbeque.
