Perhaps we can use two different channels. One for those that want chatter, another for those that actually need to pass on some important organizational info (ie, so-in-so's car broke down again, watch out for the law enforcement at mile marker 172, etc).

Doug E 11-12-2002 05:31 PM

Chatter - what are we doing, going on a date or something? :D

Seriously, if people can bring some hand helds that would be great. Unfortunately I don't have any but maybe I'll swing by Radio Shack and pick up a set.

BTW, I sent the information to the following 3 Pelican members so now we are up to 33 potential participants!

Here's to hoping the Porsche weather gods will be smiling on us.

I've got two FRS radios I'll bring.....
 
Also, for those who want to buy a pair, Costco.com has a nice set for $50. Follow this link

See everyone Sunday!

33 PCars?
 
Hey Doug,
Better hook up a film crew to cover the run - this one is shaping up to be an event!

Doug E 11-12-2002 06:59 PM

Tony - I agree that this should be something. I will try to find someone to video tape us leaving and returning as well as hopefully from some selected points along the route.

BTW, we will be crossing a low water bridge out near Front Royal so I can only hope that with all this rain the bridge remains above water!

marcesq 11-12-2002 07:10 PM

Doug:

Let Richard get ahead when we get close to that bridge, he wants a new motor in that thing anyway.

Cheers, and T minus 4 days and counting.


EDIT: Rob I'm on the floor . . . parade permit:D

PORSHIN 11-12-2002 07:21 PM

Hey guys,
A friend of mine wanted a pair of those handhelds and I found him a nice set at Wal-Mart for I think about 20 bucks each. I got them for him for his birthday! I will borrow them from him or maybe bring him with me if I come. So far, it's looking promising!
Rob

PS
Did anyone apply for the parade permit? LOL

Doug E 11-12-2002 07:29 PM

No offense to any of the areas we will be driving through but in some parts of the route their idea of a parade includes a John Deere or two.

If 33 P-Cars come rolling through they will probably head for the hills :D

PORSHIN 11-12-2002 09:07 PM

Doug,
That is true but they would probably draw the line if someone came through on a PORSCHE tractor! That would constitute an invasion!
Rob
PS
I can hear them now...
how fast can one of them things plow a 10-acre field? patuey....ding

PPS
A low water bridge...really?

targa911man 11-13-2002 08:52 AM

I'm getting there early to get a good parking space.

targa911man 11-13-2002 10:34 AM

Breaker! Breaker! Acting on an anonymous tip, I just picked up a couple of Motorola walkie talkies at Costco. I've got dibs on "Rubber Ducky" as a call sign.

kstylianos 11-13-2002 10:42 AM

Hey all. I'm quite new to the p-car scene (bought my first 911 in Feb.) and to Pelican...actually this is my fisrt post here, I ususlly frequent the Rennlist pages.

I'm pretty excited about meeting other p-car folks in the area. I will definitely be in, weather permitting, as my Targa WILL leak like a strainer. I can borrow 4 motorolla talk-abouts and bring Waynes Engine Rebiuld preview copy for the folks who are interested in taking a look.

targa911man 11-13-2002 11:22 AM

Charlie--

Welcome to the board, but Brown ? I will withhold judgment until Sunday. Don't know about the color, but excellent taste on the body style.;)

kstylianos 11-13-2002 11:26 AM

Dan, How about Rosewood...better?

Rick Lee 11-13-2002 11:29 AM

Don't sweat it Charlie. Dan's car used to be arrest-me red. But when he bought it he had it resprayed to just-try-to-arrest-me-I'm-a-lawyer-red.

kstylianos 11-13-2002 11:54 AM

Not a drop of perspiration formed on brow. I like the brown...looks classy and low key. But a Porsche is a Porsche (poo brown or arrest me red) to any trooper.....ask me how I know. I'd like to make my reservation for the middle of the pack;)

I hope it doesn't rain...I have enough trouble keeping all four tires on the road when it's dry :rolleyes:

Rain will just make it more interesting. I had planned to get new rear tires on Sat., but just got other more pressing plans handed to me. Oh well - rain and bald tires will make it even more interesting.

VincentVega 11-13-2002 02:05 PM

Bald tires, rain and a smoke screen. I'm in front of Richard. :D Just kidding.

Rick Lee 11-13-2002 02:07 PM

Just as long as your not behind Jim.
