Default Any Get Togethers in the NY/CT Metro Area?

There are many events coming up in Sept and Oct, sponsored by the Metro NY Region PCA. If you're not a PCA member, you might want to join, even though membership isn't required at most events.

Sept 9-10, DE at Limerock
Sept 11, Cruzin for a Cure
Sept 15, NY City Social
Sept 17, Tech @ Porsche of Roslyn
Sept 18, Autocross at Nassau Coliseum
etc, etc...

I just finished moving into my new house but will be living out of boxes for a while. My car is currently getting worked on. The engine is out and waiting for a few refreshing parts. Hopefully, it will be running towards the end of the week.

I was just at the vintage race at Lime Rock. There was a large parking area all with Porsches. The Porsches even got to do some parade laps at lunch.

Interestingly enough, out of 40 or 50 cars, there were no Caymans. There were 2 Cayannes, a Panamera, a 356, 914, several 944s, even a Boxster Spyder, but not a single Cayman.

Cars & Croissants in Chatham NJ
All makes ~ 100 cars show up from 8:30 to ~11:00am then gone. We get many from PA and NYC area

Folks,
>>>>>Update: We are going to have a C&C on this Saturday, Feb 26th! Looks like the rain over the next two days will clean up the winter mess and we will get a nice day on Saturday to hold our first C&C of the year!<<<<<
After a tough winter, we would like to welcome everyone to the new season of Cars and Croissants! The meet keeps growing and we had some great firsts last year (SLA, FLA, 100 year old RR). By the end of 2010, we had over a 100 cars showing up regularly and the variety has been just amazing.
As we mentioned in our kick off email in prior years, C&C is completely casual and informal. Just a bunch of car guys getting together on a Saturday/Sunday morning. No cost to you except for what you want to spend at the local shops Please feel to invite others who might enjoy our gatherings.
The details (please read as there are a few changes):
Location: Parking lot of the Woodland Bakery, 650 Shunpike Road, Chatham, NJ 07928
A few requests:
1) Please do not park in the first row of parking spaces on the right as you enter the parking lot
2) Please obey all posted parking signs and, especially, leave any handicapped spots open for those who may need them;
3) Please do not lay down any rubber when leaving the parking lot!
Time: 8:30 - 11:00AM (We have noticed that parking lot now starts to fill up with shoppers after 11AM; a fixed end time will hopefully reduce crowding for both groups).
The link for the C&C Yahoo Groups Page: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/candcnj/

I was in my midnight blue C4 Cab with gray top. I was the third from the front, behind a red 996 turbo. I was looking for some more blue C4's too, I didn't even see yours, !

Hopefully, I get it back tomorrow but the hurricane has delayed the parts shipment quite a bit. Been sleeping at the house for the past few nights and it already feels like home.
