We had a great get-together on Saturday. It was a slightly smaller group than usual, but still a great turn-out. Here's who attended:

Scott (Audi Wagon - C4S waiting for Steering Wheel)
Dell (996 cab)
Randy (Blue 996 aero)
Ken (928 in his garage waiting for brake bleed)
Manil (Grey C4S)
Mark (944)
Ken (Ducati - not shown; Cayman S was at home)
John (Targa)
Ralph (993 Cab)

After a couple cups of coffee, a few folks joined the gathering at Brier Creek, while a couple of us headed to Dell's house for an oil change. Photos of the day are included in the album - see the link below:

Thanks again to Dell for all of his help, the use of his home, and the geat instruction.

FYI - My wife finally had the opportunity to enjoy our weekend drive route - I drove her through the entire route after dinner today. She loved it.

Have a great week everyone.

Sorry I missed coffee on Saturday. Had to move my daughter, last weekend got rained out. Glad the move is over, carrying beds and mattresses up 2 flights of stairs is not my idea of a good weekend. Hopefully last move. See everyone next Saturday.

Mark - It was great to meet you too. Thanks for offering your home (25 acres) for a cookout or other event.

Rich - I'm glad your daughter's move went smoothly and that you'll be with us next weekend.

Everyone in Splinter Cell - Check out the SCR website for some updates re logo shirts, stickers, race numbers, etc.

Good to see everyone again.

Ralph and I had an uneventful trip to Brier Creek except for being passed on 540 by some loony in a Volvo blasting by us at triple digit speed, show off

We spotted a twin 993 vert with half the mileage.

I noticed the highway patrol was in full force collecting "tax revenue" on the way home on 540

For those of you that were early last Saturday, yes, my brakes are done! Sweet silence!
But as a fitting last chapter in my quest for local ATE Brake fluid, you may recall that I was waiting for MPowered to open at 10AM. Got there and I found the attached sign on the door.

These guys? http://www.t-hoff.com/ ?

Good to know, thanks for the tip. Not easy to find locally, even more so on a weekend when you really need it. The ATE web site _should_ list dealers, but I had no luck finding it there.

Of course, I could point out that the T-Hoff guys should put their business hours on their web site.........

-Ken
