ok - it's summer - time to dust off the car and take it out for a great drive



we haven't had a driving event in a while - some of you have recently expressed interest and so i thought i'd get the ball rolling



i'm still at least a week away from being ready, and i know a few other people are putting on some finishing touches too - we also need to get past the 4th, which is right around the corner



i'm thinking that july 8 or 15 sounds really good



here's the plan:



we would rendezvous about 8am for coffee at starbuck's in malibu and blast from there up over a really nice course out through the canyons, then head down to my place for a bbq around lunch time



let me know what you think

Sounds good Bob. Count Susanna and I in. I'll bring the Keg. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

ok - it's going to be the 8th - turns out i have a wine tasting on the 14th, after which i will likely have a doozy of a headache, and ayn has a commitment on the 15th which would take here away



so, the 8th it is

Sign me up Bob. It looks like 7/08 is a better date for me too. Recently a friend who had lived at Malibu for many yrs took me up through some of the canyon roads in that area in my 968, had a blast! Let me know what to bring for the BBQ as we get closer to that date.



Howard

sounds like fun would love to hang out again and meet the guys

good deal - this will be fun

Darn it, Flash. I'll be in Atlanta that weekend. Someday you'll have one of these and I'll be in town. Have fun.



-djp

I'm in

very cool - the list is building fast - 7 confirmed already

up to 9 968s now - possibly 5 more - still waiting to hear from them

Hi Bob & guys,

Count me in... since my 968CS is overseas, I'll try and keep up with you guys at the back of the pack in my Cayenne.

Steve

sweet! glad to have you - should add a bit of spice to the day's events (ducking)



p.s. - if anybody is bringing someone with them, that is ABSOLUTELY cool - just let me know so i get a good headcount for the shopping

Count me in.

SWEET!!



that makes 11 968s now and 1 caynenne



how cool is this?

just ran the course in the denali - wow is that a different ride - roads look good - no issues - lots of very beautiful countryside, with a lot of varying terrain and some truly spectacular views



i'll run it again for time in a couple of days in the porsche (and because i really want to treat myself to those roads again)



very much looking forward to this

Man, you guys have all the fun down there hehe <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> I have yet to talk to another 968 owner in person, heh, must be bad karma or something <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

lol



well, we're up to 12 now, with a very real chance of 13

Have you worked out where we're meeting and all that good stuff?

info update:



8:00 am rendezvous at Starbucks in Malibu

Malibu CA 90265

Cross Creek Rd is approximately 1 mi south of malibu canyon rd (las virgenes)



[attachment=2263]



there you will be given instructions, course maps, cell numbers, final rendezvous point, etc



after a very important driver's meeting, and basic safety inspection, we will sort into groups and be off and running into the hills



if you have any questions, please email me at flash@design1racing.com



if you are bringing anyone other than yourself, or if someone is joining you at the bbq, that is perfectly fine, but please let me know, just for the purpose of head count and shopping



see you there

And be sure to take plenty of pictures / videos for the rest of us <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
