Default Introduction - A new owner with some questions

Hi guys,

So I recently picked up an '09 911S, ruby red metallic with lots of nice options. Photos coming soon - now attached below.

Has anyone here attended the PCA monthly meetings? Thoughts? Worthwhile? What is the cost? I am a new PCA member, and am curious about this, as well as the rally events they hold.

I am quite local to Saturday GTG locations. Do you guys still meet up here in the 'off' season? Which location? I'm good for Saturday... so I suppose I should cross post.

Anyway, good to be here as a new owner.

Derek

Welcome Derek.

Saturday GTG's are the best. Check the first post of the appropriate thread for current location.

PCA monthly's are ok. Good place to meet fellow Porschephiles. No cost other than your meal when it's a sit-down place. I never go to any of the restaurant ones, but try to attend all the car-related ones (dealerships, etc.).

Next Tuesday's event will feature Ron Fellows as the guest speaker (racer/new owner of Mosport), so I will try to attend that one.

Welcome and congratulations.
Saturday GTG is happening all year long, rain, shine or snow. We are currently meeting at the winter location: http://www.artisanobakery.com/LOCATIONS/islington.asp
See you there.

it's raining outside. I'll snap a couple, but this colour really looks the best in the sun.

Rainy photos below. Better ones will follow.... especially after I take off the winter rims and rubber. I have yet to make the purchase, but am pretty sure I know what I want.

Then I guess you'll prefer my winter setup (18" Carrera Classics) to my summer... whenever I get them. The car didn't come with OEM 19's, only the 18's.

I'm biased, but agree completely

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. See some of you on Saturday.
