Vic Elford at the Taj in Ohio?

[Cornpanzer]

Gents,
Last winter myself and Mr John Dixon spoke about opening up the TajMaGaraj in Ohio for one of Mr Elfords meet & greet guest speaking visits.

We spoke to Mr Elford's Business manager and discussed the expense involved with something like this. At that time the Taj was under construction and we decided to hold off until it was more feasable.

The goal would be to provide a nice evening of mid-winter entertainment for the Midwest faithful, hopefully warding off the inevitable cabin fever. This is not an inexpensive proposition but our goal would be to pay for expenses while having some profit left over for a charitable donation to the local Ronald Mcdonald House.

The evening would consist of full access to the TajMaGaraj collection, cocktails and snacks, an opportunity to meet Mr Elford and probably the display of a famous Porsche based racing film.

We would like to gauge the interest before commiting to the project. Is this something that would interest you guys in the midwest. We would probably limit the guests to 100 or so (keeping it small and intimate) and ask for a $50-70 donation for the evening. Does this seem viable to those of you in the area?

Thanks for any feedback.......
Dave Conklin

Count me IN !

That almost borders on the "once in a lifetime" catagory doesn't it !!

$50-$75 - Very Fair

Now just guarantee that each attendee will get a V.E. Porsche Keyfob as a door prize, and I think you've got a guaranteed sell-out...

hey dave,

i think i could arrange a "business trip" just to drop in for that. Keep me posted.

Maybe I could find an early S on a used car lot while I am up there!

[Hoffman912]

dave,

i cross posted this to the 912bbs.org

not many midwest guys there, but there are a few who might be interested as well.

[Jim Richards]

If I could make my schedule work, I would be very willing to drive over from NoVA to attend.

[Keith Perry]

Hi. Count me in. Full access to the collection! I'll bring my helmet.

[wright77]

Yes! I am interested in this. Thanks, Bob

I never though i'd say it, but i wish i lived in Ohio right about now

[Cornpanzer]

No you dont Don......no you dont

[bwell]

I am interested. Price is very fair and it sounds like a great event.

[wright77]

Hey Don I just moved back to Ohio after 15 years in Sacramento.
Believe me, California weather IS better! But this meeting with Vic Elford sounds real good too!

[fuelie600]

I have several winter trips planned, but if I'm here, count me in.

[BigD9146gt]

Thanks guys. I lived in Syracuse NY for 2 years. Anyone that wants to know what the seventh level of hell is like, they just need some good ol northern United States winter lake effect. Those winters would cut through me like a red hot knife. Anyways, Im a big fan of Elford, just sitting in a room listening to him blabber on about working for Porsche would be a dream come true.

[North Coast Cab]

I'd be interested.

[strupgolf]

Any idea of a day or month for this. Before Jan 1 or after? And again, sorry, where exactly is centerville ohio, if this is where its at. Thanks

[Rick Ilcisko]

I'd be interested and most likely one other friend would go with me. That would be 2 more. Rick

[fryardds]

Dave,

Will you waive my entry fee if I can keep Mr. D. occupied long enough for you to sneak those sport seats out?

Seriously, I would love to go back and this time I'll bring my camera.

[Oh Haha]

Count me in as well. Keep us posted, if you will.
Thanks,
Wayne
