We got really lucky with the weather. Turnout was very good. Nice to meet fellow GT car owners.

The 3rd Sunday of the month is this Sunday April 21st. Fremont Porsche is hosting a Cars and Coffee from 8am - 10am on that day. I propose that interested folks that had planned to come to the GT-car get-together instead meet at the usual Bishop Ranch Spot near Philz Coffee ((address: 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd Suite 1609, San Ramon, CA 94583 and caravan down to the Cars and Coffee. Departure time for the caravan is 7:15am.

Hope to see some of you there.

p.s. yes the website says they are at capacity - I can't vouch for there being room but I'd imagine they'd try to accommodate a couple of GT cars.

Hi Alex. It's Pia with the Gulf Blue Boxster GTS. We met today in Fremont. I'm very happy to meet you and your friends. I hope to make it to your next meetup. I hope Boxsters are welcome! 🤓

Fantastic turnout today (thanks @Mase408 for working your influencer magic). We had 41 cars I think. GT-car owners love Skittles colors, that's for sure. Chris not sure if you are on RL but I loved your Yachting Blue 992 GT3 Touring - that's got to be one of just a few in the wild.

​​​​​​@pcar1 , Alan, awesome to see 2 speed yellow 997.1 GT3s together - that doesn't happen that often.


Thanks to everyone who came and I hope to see everyone at the next one on June 16th.

Summer is almost here (at least officially) and weather in the East Bay is forecast to be very nice this weekend. The next GT-car focused get-together is this Sunday, June 16th at 9am at the usual location, near Philz Coffee in the City Center Shopping Center in San Ramon (address: 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd Suite 1609, San Ramon, CA 94583).

Hope to see everyone out there.

All, the next GT-car focused get-together is this Sunday, July 21st at 9am at the usual location, near Philz Coffee in the City Center Shopping Center in San Ramon (address: 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd Suite 1609, San Ramon, CA 94583).

We've had great turnout at the last couple of GTGs with a couple of excellent photographers on hand as well to capture the lineup (thanks @Mase408 ) and I hope to see everyone out there.

Cool, I'll be there absent a conflict popping up!

@sirringo , @gt3ftw @mikes70 @pcar1 and I were chatting about a 997 (and others) cruise on some good roads at some point. I'm in east bay so would prefer something over there or up in Marin. Always a fan of the ~1.5-2 hour loop starting at Equator Coffee in Mill Valley (244 CA-1, Mill Valley, CA 94941), then up Highway 1 to Point Reyes Station, then over through Nicasio to Lucas Valley Road. July is pretty booked but weekends in August look better!
