Decent showing this weekend -- the girlie and I took the bike out for a nice ride, culminating in a trip to the show. Had a nice time. Why no Audi? Not familiar with the history of this show.
One question: surprised to see so few non-911's. Is that typical for shows in the area, or was this show intended to be 911-specific? Just curious. Oh and kudos to Porsche for equaling what the other marques had combined!

I was also led to believe that it was an MB inspired event and expanded to include Porsches and BMWs. VW/Audi? cmon.. who when it started 25 (more ?) years ago wanted to see a bunch of beetles, buses or an occasional Thing. Of course, now, that'd be pretty funky. The early shows used to be held at the German Embassy which is somewhat limited in space.
Now that its at the Park, maybe they could consider expanding the show?

Yes, that's why there were so many 911s. The display was awesome, I particularly liked the 1986 Carrera.
The reason for no Audi is that the show predates the Audi club. It was started 30 years ago as a combined effort of PCA/BMWCCA/MBC and there was no Audi club back then. So, the show has not been expanded as a matter of tradition. But probably worth discussing with Ron.
