"Any Porsche related outtings or get togethers?"

Here in Michigan, any time there are 2 Porsches on the same stretch of road, it's an event. I'm not exaggerating by much ..... -- Curt

Hi,

It's not a specific porsche event, but Waterford Hills is about an hour and a half from Ann Arbor. Check their web site, they have some pretty good club racing. Just a thought.

Looks like several gatherings. Porsches to Pinckney, a Porsche Picnic, Waterford Hills DE AND MORE!

Check here SEM/PCA

I believe the first weekend in August is "Porsche's to Pinckney". This is
less than 10 miles from Howell. 10 Porsche club regions from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are going to have a car show and big weekend party. Good time to visit up here!

You guys missed a big picnic this past weekend near Ann Arbor.

If you think 2 Porsches in Michigan is rare, try 25 928s (and one 911SC)!

You're right, it's August 1, 2, 3, 2003

Website is:

As I am in the "investigate 911 ownership" phase [1], I think I will head over to take a look.

[1]Well, that and since it's about fifteen minutes from my house...

I don't think I ever saw a Porsche in Pinckney during the 5 years I lived in Hell (just south of Pinckney). Never thought I'd hear a phrase like "Porsches To Pinckney". I had to leave my beloved '83 911SC Cab back in Dallas while here on vacation but now I'm really looking forward to the first weekend of August. Maybe some of us can get together at the Blue Martini for a beer.

A Hell/Pinckney tidbit: at least one Major North American Automobile Manufacturer conducts a lot of drive evaluations in the Pinckney area, as those are some of the best roads in the greater Detroit region. There's some good ride stuff, and there are *gasp* actually curves in the road. One of the high ups is an ex rally driver, and at least one other higher up has put one off the road trying to keep up.

Yep....we went to Hell and back. Good twisties, speed limits on back roads were usually 50mph (though not often faithfully obeyed

)
