In the upcoming Provinz, we did mention that UCR will be joining Rennlist for cars and coffee instead of UCR purposely picking the same time and location.

Hi everyone,

Yes, Terrence is correct. We had a discussion several months ago about having PCA UCR sponsor some of our GTGs. The idea is that UCR will be providing complementary coffee to all attendees on selected dates. There have been a lot of alternate cars and coffees spring up in the last few years including an ever increasing number of events hosted by the local dealers on Saturday morning. While I don't begrudge the Porsche Centre Cars and Coffee, as they are fun, they are still very much a marketing activity hosted by the dealers. Our GTGs have always been very informal with no marketing push or membership requirements and they will always stay that way. We thought it was a good idea to have a "rapprochement" between us rather than having another competing cars and coffee spring up somewhere else. The benefit for all should be pretty apparent; more exposure through the PCA to our GTG, which equals more cool cars from our favourite brand and also an opportunity to meet new people and FREE coffee!

Sounds good!...( I will assume there are no UCR cigars but I have no doubt we will have adequate supplies)

As the tobacco chair of the GTG, you are the authority on supply and demand!

Perhaps you might be surprised to see a Cohiba Carrera, or a Partagas Panamera cigar...

Thanks for the info. i wasn’t aware of that.

Because it’s raining and since the goose is cooked, let’s reconvene at Artisano’s today.
