Just to prove that the manual/6speed GT3 owner is still very much alive, kicking and as quirky as always, we decided to have an open-house shindig @ the Shark Tank with our Rennlist friends. We like to do things a bit differently around here; hence with only 1-3 days notice enter many Shark-a-fied GT3s, SharkWerks 3.9'ers, a special Ruf RGT, some very special Porsche owners, a soon-to-be-exclusive SF traditional French Bakery (dating back to the early 1900s), some special guest stars including Nakai-san of Rauh-Welt (RWB) fame and a little drive up to Alice's later; we have what we like to call a "meet".

Dan opens up the shop and he's even wearing one of those rare items called a "SharkWerks" t-shirt. They don't exist but he's got one:


Two 3.9s, a special Ruf RGT, some weird blue/orange RS and a track-heavy 997.2S are left-overs from the werk week.


Do you think they clash a bit?:


A closer look:



Move along nothing to see here:


Inside for the cars, maybe?



Hmm a line is forming. Strange because the Krispy Kreme is in the kitchen and not here:


There you go that's what the line was about. Cars and coffee is for normal car buffs. GT3'ers prefer traditional family-owned and recipes passed on Boulangeries from the early 1900s.


We wish there was a way to electronically transmit the smells and tastes of this spread so wonderfully hand-crafted by ARSICAULT (Armando). There's Brioche and then there's the real deal right here and soon opening up in San Fran:


There he is! Armando had some serious fun in his orange pumpkin RS and if we all eat some the goodies above (which we will) then he's on his way to a 918:


Even Armando's current delivery vehicle is a Cayenne TT:


The original one is of course antique and circa 1906 but here we have the ARSICAULT delivery vehicle. We hope to see it in person next time:


Eating, chatting...


Hmm there's a weird red car in the distance:

What it's all about. Get them started early:


Boys with toys:


Toys for boys:


Our EVOMSit friends are everywhere:


And to the derriere!


And then there were more:


There's 36 flavors:



Other side of the building:


Coming and going:


More folks showing up. Got wings? Caymans have wings too!



Got Sharkwerks? Got Werks1 Diffuser:


Everywhere you look:



In front you'll notice a real Audi Quattro. Well Francis has a shark-a-fied 997GT3 but since it's got fresh rubber and over 3 degrees of camber the Quattro will do nicely thank you:


Other than Nakai-San this was the coolest dude in town:


You asking about my bike or options?


Pay your respects...


Probably the fastest car there. Nope not a GT3 just an EVOMS GT700 996TT Black Mamabo:


This one's clearly never been tracked:


Some people are outside... a special guest has shown up:


There's a few cars here just your ordinary RS 4.0, orange RS and some more GT3s:


Maybe this is a clue:


Let's take a closer look inside John's RWB slick RS:

This is as hollywood as it gets in our world. The real-deal Mooty and his 4.0, Jbigelow's RWB 3.8 (at least for now) and in the middle Mr RWB:


Passionate man. So passionate and hard working (the cool dude on the left not the shark man on the right). Nakai-San of Rauh Welt (RWB) fame drops in to check out how things look in the GT3 water-cooled scene:


We are going to be keeping a very close eye on this one:



Continuing to chat about a shark-a-fied 991 with TechArt trimmings:


Back inside. Green means green:



Reserving a spot for Armando's 918:


We don't know how many Apple folks we have here with Porsches but it's obviously a lot:


GT3 Rush hour in Fremont:



Freeway:



6-wide:


Francis leading the way:


Fancy a walk?


In front:


And behind:


This is what a GT3 traffic jam looks like in Half Moon Bay:


And finally at Alice's:


From everyone here at SharkWerks we would like to thank each and every one of you for just brightening up our Saturday. Long live the 6 speed GT3! We will not go quietly into the night!
