Jim,

I'd join you, but unfortunately I dont have a front end

Unless you'd like to tow me around town, tow-truck style, I can't make it.

Mabye by the end of Feb. the SC should be buttoned up......

Jim, when are you going driving? I'll be reassembling mine in the am. If you're out and around come on by!

Greg, I don't know for sure but you should PM me your address / phone #. I invested 5 hours at DMV today to get plates for Lu's E, so maybe we'll take it for a spin Saturday.

Jim:

You could certainly tow me . . . new seats, no brakes and very light in the rear!!

Hope you and Lu have a great Christmas.

Marc

You guys planning any quick fun runs after Christmas? Got a couple weeks off, and once the seasonal obligations are fulfilled, it might be fun to blast around the countryside.

By the way, congrats on setting up this cool local board.

My 911's apart, but the weather was so nice yesterday I had to drive. I pulled off the car cover, pumped the heck out of the gas pedal (those Zeniths were empty) and fired up the '64C.

Drove from Waterford to Purcellville, to Middleburg, and then back through downtown Leesburg. Great drive on the great day.

Spent 1-1/2 hours with my 15 year old son, he always wants to go for a ride in the Porsches though he prefers the '89 3.2. Me might only say 3 words in the entire time, but always jumps at the chance to go everytime.

Keith -

Sounds like you will have to make the tough decision for any of the '03 Fun Runs: 3.2 or 356 ????

Yeah, tough one.

I'm relatively new here, are you guys the ones I read about in last month's PCA Potomac mag? If so, the drive looked like a great laid-back time. Just my style. Concourses are fine, but I really like to DRIVE.

We've got some great twisty roads out here in Western Loudoun, I live in Waterford and there are at least six 90 deg turns on the way in. Maybe that could be a destination someday?

Dawn and I're hosting at least one 356 Potomac Owner's Group meet here at the house this year expecting about 20 cars, maybe we could combine something and have more model representation. We were talking about the fall when Waterford holds it's annual Crafts fair (something for the wives), but maybe sooner. I've got 3+ fenced acres to park cars on. Just a thought...
