Spread the word. Physical flyers/cards are on order. The front side actually makes for a decent swag image. Notebooks, cups, shirts looks very neat with it.

Another thing, please post in the thread or PM me if you are driving your car, flying in, or renting something in LV. Car brand and model (ie Porsche 997, Geo Metro, Pink Pony (Schnell)).

Drivin in. Most likely my Boxster. It is a real Porsche, with a real engine, not one of those lawn mower engines

IF I go, I'll drive the 996 there. I think the brand is Prosh or something similar.

Pretty sure Kalash is half the age of the rest of the wheezers and geezers that will be in attendance, but all act like 13 year olds, so that levels the playing field.

If I go I'll use some form of transport to get there as my fat *** isn't walking 2400 miles...

Probably not a boat though, but you never know I guess. Anything is possible when hell freezes over.

I am being serious about transportation mode, since Iko is trying to get us the dedicated section at the cars and coffee. So the # of cars in attendance is important.

If you show up in the rental Chrysler 200 from Hertz, you pick up the tab for the first round of drinks everywhere we go. No exception. You can rent 911 from Hertz, or go all out like your truly with the Shelby!

Got you down in Prosh 996 Mike.

996 for me. Working on getting the hallpass for Vegas as I've got WSBK weekend @ Laguna Seca booked July 7-9 too.

Do you need to know my physical age or my mental age?

I will be flying. Staying at the Encore.

Somebody can have my slot for Cars and Coffee, kart racing and the drive thru the Valley of Fire.

I will however be at the Bond Bar at Cosmo. Vesper? Maybe, but I will likely be at XS at the Wynn/Encore unless I stay too late at the Rhino.

I will be playing Sunday by ear...

Disappointed ^^. Man up and drive the G911 car to LV. With KC flying in, and you leaving the 997.2 home...both the fastest and quickest Porsche at the Porsche meet will be a four door Mercedes.

If you are driving over from CA, I highly recommend trying to drive the section of CA 168 between CA 395, just south of Bishop, over to NV 266 to US 95 down to Las Vegas. That section of CA 168 is an Amazing Drive! Did it last summer in my 968 and had a blast! "E" Ticket ride!

I really don't plan on being in any condition to drive. No matter what.

Only 300 more miles. You'd have enough grins to last the drive home :-)

Maybe we need to create a prize for someone who drives the furthest to get to the meet. Ideas for the prize are welcomed.

I am thinking about IMS bearing or a bottle of ORANGE capped DT40.
