Now that I have taken her out of winter hibernation, I am sure we will cross paths soon.

Unfortunately I'm out this year: flying to pick up a Spyder instead.

Has anyone used either the Porsche Specialists in Broomall or Performance Automotive in Malvern for service? I'm looking for someone to service a 987.2, and figure it might make more sense to use an independent rather than a dealer (or maybe I'm wrong?). Any other good places around the Main Line?

I asked earlier, they were one of the recommendations along with Premier Eurocars.

Ive used Performance Automotive in Malvern for a few years now on my old 997.2 and now my M5. Solid shop and true gear heads. Came recommended on some other threads. They stay quite busy if that tells you anything .

I use them and they are great. I have a 987.2 as well. My car runs top notch.

Gang, there's a new CnC that's been announced to replace the long running (but now defunct) scene at the former Starbucks on 202 in West Chester, PA.

Here's the notice I just received today from one of the organizers:

At long last, a location car enthusiasts are welcome to gather:
https://northbrookmarketplace.com/

Northbrook Market Place has been suggested over the last year and half by several attending what is now the now defunct WCcc.

A bit off the beaten path, but several wonderful different driving routes will get you there - depending on your origin!

The best thing: we are welcome.

Other positives:
Opens at 6:30 a.m.
Hot and cold breakfast menu available early Saturday mornings
Special donuts, even ice cream
Coffee
Ample inside seating
Restrooms
Lots of shade in the parking area
And ample parking - out of the way of Saturday morning regular customers

Some people are planning to meet this coming Saturday, so hope to see many of you there to talk car talk after a long winter and no place to meet for the past month.

When you do arrive, the manager asks that you park in the parking lot to the right as you enter the property or in the one at the back, which is huge, if the first one fills up. The one in front will be used by regular Saturday morning customers. And of course come in and buy some coffee to say thanks for the warm welcome!

Those that are able to come this Saturday might want to discuss how frequent they wish to meet at this location.

See you there this Saturday, April 27th. ?

PS BE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORD WITH YOUR FELLOW CAR ENTHUSIAST FRIENDS!!!

^^ Seems like the old West Chester C&C is now going strong at Wegman's in Malvern. Northbrook looks like a fun outing, but if it's the place I'm thinking of, I can't see how they would accommodate a full C&C crowd. I'd be up for a group run there one day, maybe appended to a C&C event, but not sure it's the best venue to host 50-100 cars.

Any details on the time? I’d be open to checking it out on my way up to Malvern. Might be a good spot to do a monthly meetup and drive through Chester County.

That’s funny, I did the same exact thing except in reverse order. Perfect day to be out for a drive!
