Default Going to Birmingham-PDE!!!!!!
Hey all, I am so excited since my wife gave me my Christmas present. She signed me up for the Porsche Driving Experiance in Birmingham, AL. I will be going for the 2 day school March 15-16. She knows how much fun I had at a autocross and a DW with my Porsche Club at Sebring so she got me this school.

She worked everything out and all I have to do is call them 2 weeks prior to remind them to save a TipTronic car for me.

Mike

Just went earlier this month. Best driver's ed experience I have ever had. Don't sweat, there are Tiptronics available.

You will have a wonderful time. I'm going back

I'll be going on March 13-14 so it looks like we'd just miss each other! I'm looking forward to having a great time out there! Are you staying at the Ross Bridge Resort?

Have not made hotel resvervations yet. This is part of my sales territory so I will have a rental car and make this part of a business trip.

Just 1 day and a hand full of laps at my Sebring Porsche Club DE made me a better driver so I have high hopes for this class.

Grizzy, do you have the same dates as me?

If so I'll see you there. I'm easy to spot...6'5" tall with a blue and silver left prosthetic leg...can't miss me! See you there!

mdrums - what a great present! Congrats!
The skills you take from PDE can be applied to many vehicles, even rental cars
