Default 10/18 Celebration Event?

Anybody know the specifics on the "Celebrating 40 Fast Years" event supposedly taking place on 10/18 at all authorized Porsche dealers?

I saw an add for it on page 3 of the 10/13 Autoweek and thought it might be worth a visit to HBL if something good was going on.

Default 40th Anniversary Celebration

Got this via E-mail from Porsche News:

It’s been 40 years since the 911 roared onto the world sports car scene at the Frankfurt International Auto Show, ushering in a new era for Porsche and its guiding philosophy of performance.

On October 18th, 2003, authorized Porsche dealers across North America will commemorate this seminal event by hosting special 40th Anniversary celebrations. (The date for events in the province of Quebec is October 21, 2003.) The 40th Anniversary is a chance for you and your fellow Porsche enthusiasts to look back at past generations of the 911, check out the current models and see what the future holds for this quintessential sports car.

Everyone who attends will receive a 40 Fast Years commemorative poster* and four lucky people will win a Porsche Driving Experience (PDE) 2-Day Course at the impressive new Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Visit 40fastyears.com for event information and prize details.

* While supplies last.

Porsche of Arlington has a blurb in the classifieds this morning about a cookout at the dealership tomorrow.

It's from 11-2 tomorrow at Porsche of Arlington. I'm not sure HBL actually qualifies as a Porsche dealer.

Now, that's not very fair.

How does one put out an APB again...?

continuing on RL's theme about HBL ...

so I called them today and asked what, if anything, they had planned for tomorrow. The receptionist had no idea so she transferred me to a salesmen. When I explained what I was calling about all he said was "it sounds like you know more about it then we do. Our hours are from 9 to 6 on Saturdays."

Thank you very much HBL

HBL? Isn't that an Audi dealer?
POA was the place to be. Food, posters, and fellow Dorki's to chat with.

And as Kurt said, next up...PCA Potomac Swap Meet.
