Sure Mark, I'm still having trouble posting pictures though.

Very cool Joe!

Thanks for putting this together Paul.
It could not have been any better. The ride, the cars, the people.
I' ll try to get some photos up later.
It was very nice meeting everyone.

What a wonderful day guys, thanks for the invitation!

While I loved the drive, seeing the cars, and spending the day with you guys, Frank's quote about the McQueen 911 made my day. After telling him what a joy it was to see he drove the cars he collected, he replied...

"I take the damned thing to go get coffee!"

Just awesome. Thumbs WAY up for a great day!

Hey guys, looks like an awesome day, I'm sorry I missed it.

I did get a chance to tinker with my new ride though. It will be ready for the next run.

This event is actually taking place in SC. However, its' funny that it links to a an October Fest event going on in Chicopee - no Porsche event going on there that I know of. Trying to get a local run together this month. We'll do the P-Car to P-Town run in Nov.
regards,
Paul

Sounds good Paul. Got my wheels back. The rubbing issue seems to be gone. But won't know for sure until it can be thrashed around a bit. So a run is in order
