Hope to see you guys on the road or at the Sunday meet sometime, probably in the spring now. Not sure how many days before I take my car off the road for winter.

Best Regards, Norm
No problem Norm - it's not every day I stumble upon a 930 in my neighborhood, so I couldn't help by stop by. Glad to see you on the board!

Cheers,
Dave

PS: Welcome!
Actually that's the plate I wanted but it was taken so I settled for 86 911T

I believe yours is the car I've seen in our parking lot at work (NRC hangar at the airport) a couple of times then. Dark grey coupe?

That's me. I work for DRDC Ottawa at Shirley's Bay. My group installs our radar on the Convair 580 at U61 from time to time. Let me know where you are and I'll drop in and say hi next time I am there.

Norm - It's good to have you here. Haven't seen you at an RSR dinner for a while, not that I've been a regular. Maybe we'll meet up at the Trainyards, weather cooperating.

I'm an aircraft mechanic in the hangar so just look for the guy in blue coveralls that isn't wrenching on the Convair!

Forecast was accurate, with the exception of the huge death-cloud blotting out the sun for a bit. Still, four brave friends (three with heaters) faced the elements for what might possibly have been the last hurrah for Cars & Coffee with the cars.









Note to self: Silver is boring, buy some orange paint and a roller for next summer.

Well done guys. I had wanted to be there but had an opportunity to sleep in, what with my little guy staying with the grandparents.

Forecast looks good for the week. Maybe Sunday will be reasonable too.

Hey guys - I don't know that I'll be able to join you guys again before the big sleep, but I'll be sure to schedule weekend activities for the kids on Saturday mornings from here on in! Dave, thanks again for kicking this off; I think we'll have some good momentum for the spring.

All the best, guys!

Dave

With the time change tonight, we'll have an extra hour for the temps to come up! It's calling for 0*C at 9:00am but the sun will be shining down on our frosty Porsches so it should be pleasant!

Simone and I are in!
