Erik-- Road trip!!!



There's a chance Speedy will be at Monterey car week this August in CA.
Smaller chance she'll make the July PCA Parade in St. Charles (Chicago), IL, much closer to you.

Stay tuned to this channel for updates

You need to bring Speedy here:http://www.pcaescape2010.com/

I will make sure she is well cared for.

And to think people make fun of me for always carrying a polish towel and a bottle of Final Inspection spray Looks Great!

Oh, so THAT's what you think BoulderBobo makes fun of you for?
Thinking of that crazy cool day, I now remember that cleaning Speedy was about the last thing on my mind; you kindly helped out. The results speak for themselves

Here's a shot of the Guards Red rockets, trying our best to out-shine your clean machine, deservedly taking center stage...

Default Happy 4th of July!!!

Chris/Bob-- Remember joking about needing a white 993 that day with the red, white, & blue jets?

Even more true, now that it's time to say:
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, Rennlist!

But, heck, they're German cars, not like these Corvettes...
(Photo would be better with the Thunderbirds flying over! )

Tim-- Very generous! However, Danny (DJF1) already called 'dibs' for all the work you made him do at the 2009 PCA Parade (back on page 4)...

Danny, touch it again before you leave please. And, if you're able, give Jager enough beer and switch cars!!!! Don't worry, we'll work on getting yours back.

Stay tuned
Update: looks much better for me to slack on my academics, & make it out with Speedy to see last year's CA friends & meet more RLers.
No specific commitments yet, but general schedule for my Monterey car week looks ~Aug 10 - 14.

May have to leave CA as early as Sat AM, Aug 14 to return home.
Fingers crossed to stay through Sat's Laguna Seca, & hopefully do better than 2009's long-distance 'meeting' with Jason

"California Car Week" interest is heating up. See JDHertz11's "Monterey Historics 2010" thread for more. Two pix just posted there...

First is "New Old Stock" not scene yet on this thread, from photographer Angie McDonald:

Jim-- You'll be missed, but hopefully catch up with you at Larpy's next month.

Glad you enjoyed last year's 356 'group photo!' It's one of my favoriates, too; luckily have more like that.
You should really like last month's Speedster evolution shots with the 1952 Glockler Roadster that predated &/or inspired Porsche to make a 356 Speedster:

Much more photos & fun on the "Monterey 2010 photo thread: Pebble, Laguna, Legends, Quail, etc. ...918 Spyder!"

Thanks in part to RLer PorscheMeister & others' enthusiasm, one of Speedy's many CA highlights was being hand-picked for the following by Mr. McCall (co-founder of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering).

Posted today on SuperCars.net - "McCall's 2010 Motorworks Revival at the Monterey Jet Center:"

Brought to my attention by the great man who photographed & shared the most prevalent Speedy pix on the interwebs:

Uploaded yesterday to MadWhips.com's McCall 2010 Motorworks Revival "Porsche Rainbow" page by user SuperCars_net (Richard Owen)...

^^ Very well played, JP, but if only that were true!

Another 'stealable picure,' from the "Monterey 2010 photo thread: Pebble, Laguna, Legends, Quail, etc. ...918 Spyder!"...
