[kach22i]

I've known about this run for sometime now, looks like possible rain - so I'm sending the word out to let you know it's still on. Cheers George/kach22i.

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder, Chuck Freitas has planned another fun Spring Breakfast Run for our club.
Please contact Chuck if you wish to attend this event.

Start: Saturday, May 14 @ 8:30 am
Where: Main Street Coney Island, 1555 S. Main St., Chelsea, MI 734.327.2312
1/4 mile north of I-94, just south of McDonald's
Maps and directions will be given out at breakfast.

After breakfast we will go on a ride through the back roads of Chelsea, Stockbridge,
etc. (about an hour or so) and then end in downtown Chelsea at the Gourmet Chocolate
factory -- Coffee, cappuccino, chocolates, baked goods, etc.
Also the Chelsea Teddy Bear Co. is on the second floor of the Clock tower building next door.
Some may want to go there for a quick tour and to shop ! An art store, homemade jewelry,
and antique store are also close by.

This will be a good chance to blow the dust off your babies --- see you there.
Please RSVP to Chuck at cfreitas@peoplepc.com

I'd love to be there, but we're going to the SEMPCA club drive/dinner on Sunday in Milford and Saturday is work day on the house... I hope the weather holds out for you guys! The freep.com weather forecast says it will rain the in AM only on Saturday...

[Oh Haha]

Cool. I think I will try to catch up to you guys if the weather is better than they are predicting.

[kach22i]

The drive went fine, little to cool to take the targa top off, but my engine loved the temps.

No rain.

No sunshine.

Over a dozen cars showed up, many wives (mine included) acting as navigators/map readers.

I'll post a couple of pictures when I get back to the office and download my digital camera.

There is a run on June 5th by another Porsche group - will post it soon.

I missed track day (driver's trainng) in Waterford last Tuesday...........don't want to put the car in one of those until I get it sorted out a little more.

[Oh Haha]

Glad the run went well for you guys. The RSR guys are a fun group of folks.
It rained like a sonofabit#$ here in Flint most of the day. Spent the day detailing my Mom's car for her while she was shopping with my wife. Maybe tomorrow the weather will be better for a drive.

I'm glad you had a good drive and the weather cooperated. We had alot of rain and I had to paint all day, so the rain didn't bother me but my builder was finishing the trim on the house and installing gutters, so he wasn't too happy...

[kach22i]

Here are the pictures, with a liittle architecture thrown in just for kicks.


Things I learned; the older the Porsche, the more attention it gets.

Also the organizer of the event regretted not planning a large empty parking lot for photo opportunities, pics are from a pit-stop/ potty break mid-way through the morning drive.

[Oh Haha]

Cool pics. I'm sorry I didn't hook up with you guys now. it looks like a small group.

[kach22i]

Not all the cars are in the pictures, and someone else caught up with us in Chelsea.........not more than 15 cars.

We didn't get to go on Saturday, but we went to Milford for the "Shine and Dine" at the 5 Lakes Grill. The owner/chef is a PCA member and opened the restaurant for us. We had 52 Porsches in the parking lot and had an unbelievable dinner!!!!

Pictures please.

That's a lot of cars, was this an official PCA event?

[azasadny]

Here are a few pitiful pics from last Sunday's PCA event in Milford, MI. The day was cloudy and dreary but 52 cars were there. Many of the cars, including the Carrera GT left before I got out to the parking lot and took some pics.
