Brewed Awakenings on 43 (the main drag through Kemptville).

Alternatively, Starbuck's at the Trainyards off of Industrial Avenue in Ottawa.

Didn't see this until now - did we end up having a get together this AM?

The 911's still in cold storage (get it, "cold", haha) and at this rate won't be out until May.
The Boxster is still sleeping in the new owner's garage, I've encouraged them to become RSR members.
The new-to-me BMW is out and about, although it was parked for the last few days. I even had the top down last week one afternoon, but it was actually far too cold to enjoy it. I need a wind deflector REALLY bad.

Hope to see you all soon. I think I may unofficially join the coffee run on the 27th in my "other" German car. The 911 needs a visit to JJ's garage before it hits the open road.

PS - anyone know of a good (and affordable) place to have my 911 17s roadforced?

Looks like this Sunday the weather may cooperate for a cars and coffee meet, any plans yet?

Feel free to make a plan! Roads are clean now, time for me to exercise the scabby old girl!

Sunday is looking nice so far, any interest for the first C&C of 2013?

By the time it's 21 degrees, I'll be out on my motorbike.

Wish I could, but still awaiting a refurbed engine and then likely be shipped out of the country later in the week.

Brewed Awakenings in Kemptville on the main drag (43) at 10am. Porsche not necessary for those with their engines still out....

Philip, did you get the repaired ignition cable?

BTW, I took some pics of that "slapped together" cable that you had and posted them to my SmugMug site. Cripes the exposed wire wasn't even long enough to be crimped within the M3 terminal. Just another reason why I decided to make my own so that I have control over the quality.

You are not the first person to have a terminal end come off on those sourced (no names mentioned) cables.

Alex, thanks for repairing my ignition wire. It looks better than new. Maybe I'll have some more work for you soon. I would recommend your quality control to any one who needed your services. thanks Philip

Ottawa Trainyards this week? Might pull in a bigger group.

[bbdhull]

OK for me.
See you at the train yard.

Phil, I know of a very nice low mileage 993 C2 for sale in the area.

These are Porsches, not Harley Davidsons that one has to tinker with all the time.
