Hi fellow Dorkis,
I don't post too much here but have met a few of you at various events. I'd like to extend an invitation to what I like to call "The Hershey Prep Picnic". This will be my 3rd annual and is usually a nice relaxing time to just get geared up for the annual trek to Hershey for the swap meet. It will be Saturday April 10th at my shop in Sterling VA. The address is 201 Davis Drive in Suite LL. Many folks will wash and shine, some change oil, swap wheels, blow out various cobwebs, etc. as this may be only the first or second time our cars have been out since winter hibernation. We'll do burgers and dogs, have some beverages, etc. I usually have a dent guy on site, my usual arsenal of detailing equipment and supplies, and new for this year, I plan to have an interior/leather repair specialist in attendance. My lift will be available for those of you who wish to put you car up for inspection and my partner with Exotic Car Specialties will offer free 125 point inspections and diagnostic software to check any trouble codes you may experience. We'll get started around 9am or so and you can pop by anytime and stay as little or as long as you want. Please post a response here as I'd like to get an idea of attendees just for a ball park head count and also let me know if you'll be bringing anything. - Darryl

Hi Darryl,
Is this the same shop that we did the 951 timing belt/cam carrier job a few years back? I want to try and make this. I don't think I'll need to do anything but I'm always up to hanging out with other Porsche guys. Call me a tentative "yes". I know more as we get closer but as of now I don't see why I can't make it. BB.

Yes, Brian, same complex...but I've got a whole shop now dedicated to the car biz...in Suite LL, three doors down from where we had our impromptu timing belt get together!! Hope to see you Saturday the 10th.

If my coupe is running and close to done (so don't count on me), I may bring the Targa down. I have a small ding I'd like to have pulled before I sell it. Thanks for hosting.
Peter

Adding to my calendar. I'd never expect an event in Sterling for Porsche owners.
