Enjoy, I love that drive through Portola Valley. My girlfriends boss let me test drive his 981 Boxster GTS to decide if I wanted Manual or PDK before ordering my GT4 and the roads there are just fantastic.

I'd love to join this group when my Cayman GTS shows up in March... How often do you all get together?

Edit - D'oh just saw the other thread discussing this... Will keep an eye out for the future

we could always crash this PCA-GGR event:

The “Porsche Brunch," at Alice's Restaurant on Skyline (17288 Skyline Blvd), Woodside) is held the first Saturday of each month at 9 a.m. The brunch welcomes all Porsches for a great breakfast and social mixer. Getting there through the mountains above Woodside is really half the fun and the omelets are voluminous...check it out. Make sure to introduce yourselves to the coordinators and long-time Boxster (now Cayman) owners George and Carol Grialou when you get there.
