Orange Coast region (Orange County, CA) is very active. Every month we have "Breakfast Club" on the first Saturday where we meet and talk in the parking lot and then go in for announcements about what is going on and coming up. We almost always have over 80 cars and have been pushing 100 in the summer months...
Oh, and we have some breakfast too!

On the third Saturday we have Donuts with Ken which is just an excuse to meet in a parking lot and talk. A lot of our other activities meet here and then head off to where ever.

This year we have 11 Autocrosses. 2 are at the Streets of Willow and the other 9 are going to be more then a mile in length at a closed airbase in OC. We already had our annual "Training Wheels" driver instruction course in February.

We have at least one wine tour every year. Most years we have a wine tour to the Santa Barbara area and another down to Temecula. We also have a few over night tours each year. We have been to Hearst Castle, Sedona, Julian (San Diego county), Palm Springs, Ventura, etc... This year I know we will have an overnight trip to Solvang.

We have had one rally so far this year. I think the next one will be in April. There will be a few more before the year is up.

This Saturday is the "New Members Picnic and Irish Stew Cookoff" complete with green beer. In July we have a bar-b-que for our chosen charity, the Cystic Fibrosis ward at CHOC (Children's Hospital of Orange County). We presented them with $10,000 that we had raised throughout the year from "50/50" raffles and donations tied to certain events.

At the end of summer we have our garage tour which is a progressive dinner that usually visits 4 garages for the various courses of the meal. For Oktoberfest we have an overnight trip up to Big Bear. In December is our Christmas party which is pretty loud and a lot of fun.

Our big car show of the year is on June 3rd. We have it in conjunction with the Huntington Beach Concours. We have had over 130 cars on display the last few years. This year the featured cars are the Turbos and with the enthusiasm from establishment this year of the Turbo Registry I expect more then 140 Porsches. The non Porsche part of the Concours has at least 300 vehicles of all types on display.

We have had dinners with different technical speakers and a variety of tech meetings on all sorts of subjects.

If you can't find something that you want to do here then you are stuck to your couch.

Oh... And we are never featured in the "From the Regions" section in the Panarama.
