THANK YOU TO ALL THAT ATTENDED, TO PORSCHE OF TYSONS and POTOMAC REGION PCA!!!

At least from my perspective, the event turned out great, but of course my opinion does not count much. As we held our event in conjunction with the Potomac Region's tech inspection for the upcoming PorscheFest next weekend, there were a lot of attendees, interested people and awesome traffic overall.

I could not participate in much of the listening of the tech stuff as I was busy talking to people and taking pictures, but there were some very interesting discussions; I saw some old friends, made new ones and enjoyed the social environment tremendously. It was just a superb Saturday for me, I hope all that attended enjoyed it as much as I did.

Here are few select pictures, the rest are in the album:

Peter, who is not on our web boards yet, had his 997.2 GT3RS on the lift; it had a sequential shifter and few other tricks done by FunktionAuto:

BMAN, GT3DE and his girlfriend, Sly, are exchanging notes from the last track event:

A GT2RS was on the lift as well:

Interest in the GTs was high even from non-GT owners:

BMAN had his GT2 available as well, so we could see the latest tricks on it:

Great event!

Big thanks for Fatih for organizing and to Porsche of Tysons for hosting. They rolled out the red carpet for us. Grilled brats, cold drinks and amazing service bays. Air conditioned, tile floors, every tool put away, etc...impressive! But the real reason this was a great event was Chad and Thomas, the Porsche techs, who are the best. You seemingly can't stump them when it comes to a question about these cars and they not afraid to talk about known problems. Their honesty and candid discussions, IMO, go along way in strenghtening my loyalty and appreciation of the Porsche brand.

Great event and fun meeting everyone and talking all things Porsche. Chad and the crew from the dealership were great and I think I have a new dealer for service. Speaking with Bman, GT3DE, and of course, Fatih is defintely wetting my appetite to get back on the track. You guys might finally entice me out there yet. Thanks for the fun afternoon.

Are you saying that Sly hangs around Clarke so she can trash his GT3 in white group?

Looks like a good time. Sorry I missed it.
I'll have to console myself by chasing Ryan, Bman, and Clarke this coming Friday-Sunday.
