I've been getting emails asking when C&Cs are going to start, so to answer that question our first meet will be on the MONDAY of Memorial Day Weekend, on May 28, 2018. After that we will resume meeting on Sundays. So finish up your DIY winter projects so your cars will be ready.
I know several of you are already "Regulars," so you know the drill. However, below is info for those who have not previously attended our meets.
Location: The Moose Cafe, 1160 Stafford Road, Tiverton, RI 02878. We park in the larger parking lot to the left side of the Moose Cafe. We may occasionally meet at our old Taunton location, but I will let you know in advance if we are doing that.
Date: Starting Memorial Day - Monday May 28, 2018, and then roughly every other Sunday (Weather Permitting). Please check updates that you receive as it will let you know if we are rescheduling or bumping the meet out by a week. Our second meet will be on Sunday, June 10, 2018. If the weather remains nice then we will continue to meet in October. Please check this thread for updates to the schedule.
Time: 9:30 AM until whenever.
Feel free to bring a friend, girlfriend, wife, etc. I know some ladies don't want to be the only girl at a car meet, but don't worry about that, my wife attends about 90-95% of the meets. So chances are your wife/girlfriend won't be the only girl there. Feel free to email or PM me if you want to be sure she is attending.
Location Description: The location is perfect for this type of get together. The traffic is light on Sunday mornings since most of the stores are still closed. We often get people who will stop by to look at the cars and ask questions and we have never had any bad experiences. Local patrols also leave us alone which is nice. Please be respectful of the businesses around the location for the meet, and please don't do any high performance driving or launch control demonstrations from the parking lot where we meet, as we do not want to draw any negative attention to our meets.
This isn't just for Porsches, so if you have something else fun, or have friends with other fun cars feel free to bring them.
Weather Permitting: Most of us don't mind meeting up on cold or overcast days but rain really spoils this one since we are standing outside. If it's raining or looks like it will assume the GTG is cancelled.
I will try to provide updates & reminders so everyone knows when the next GTG will be.
Unfortunately, the roads here are soaked so we are canceling today's meet. It didn't stop raining here until very early this morning and I'm sure most people don't want to bring their freshly detailed toys out until the roads are completely dry later in the day. Hope everyone has a great day and looking forward to catching up soon. Our next meet will be on June 10th.
Thank you for joining us for our first meet of the season. It was great catching up with many of our regular attendees: Hans, Frank, Kenny, Michael & Susan, Mike S., Tim & Sherry, Steve (930 & 3.2 Carrera), Steve (986), Noah, Brianna, Dwayne, Nick & Brittney, Ray, Ed, Shamous.
it was also great meeting Leo & his daughter (997 Turbo) and seeing Nick again who brought his BMW i8. There were a few other people I didn’t get around to meeting but hope to do so at the next meet.
I look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Our next meet will be June 24th.
Bring the filthy supercharged 928! Any 928 will be exciting for the group to see, as it’s been a while since a 928 attended. Then you treat us to viewing the shiny Turbo on a future visit.
Best regards,
Dino
PS check out the interior on this early 928. Supposedly it was the prototype/first 928. It was the first time I've ever seen a green interior in a 928, and that carpeting/armrest looks almost like **** carpeting!
Looks like rain on Saturday and patchy for Sunday.
Hi Dave,
I have been keeping an eye on the forecast. I think you are quite a bit north of us, but down here the current forecast for is for thunderstorms on Saturday to end around midnight. Sunday is expected to be overcast with about a 10-15% chance of a possible stray shower later in the day. I will continue to monitor the forecast, and I will see what the roads look like down here on Sunday morning. If we cancel I will send a notice before 7:30 Sunday morning. Keeping my fingers crossed for a dry Sunday morning.
