Default London to Grand Bend Mixed Exotics Fun Run

Hey everyone,
We are planning a mixed exotics cruise from London to Grand Bend on Saturday August 20th. It will start with dyno demonstrations & tech session over coffee at RSP Motorsports at 9:30am. We'll be leaving London at 11:30 for a cruise to Grand Bend and Lunch at the Oakwood Resort.

We are also raising a little money for Soldier On. It's a charity for our wounded veterans http://www.cfpsa.com/en/psp/SoldierOn/CFSOF_e.asp
So we are asking for a voluntary $10.00 per car donation to support a worthy cause.

Call or email Donna at RSP at: 519-474-7700
email: info@rspmotorsports.com

I don't have any affiliation with RSP. I just like supporting the Porsche & enthusiast community in my neck of the woods, so I'm helping out.

Last year we had about 40 cars (as you can see in the pic). We've got 20 so far.

I went thru their gallery, lol. It seems like they give back quite a bit to the Porsche community and many shops would not do that nowadays . I don't think I can make it but more than happy to make the $10 donation. Please pm me the payment info.

Many thanks,
Tim

One week to go. Please give RSP to let them know you're coming so they can make a reservation for you at lunch. See you there.

40 Cars and counting!
