Cosimo and Anchorman both have very nice rims. If that were a category, I'd have a hard time choosing.

No problem - the polls are open, votes are still being taken. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Note, also, that I wasn't so presumptuous as to name the winner!

Glad I didn't have to vote...
All of my pics are now available on Photbucket.

The password is a very carefully selected secret code (968Newtown) if anyone would like to add until the free box fills.
I'm trying to put a selection of pics in 968Forum gallery, but keep getting stopped. Eric, did I use too much space?
Final $$$ tally is in, a few dollars lost, no great pains, and we were happy to have you all here. Would consider doing it again, but don't ask for a month or so.....
Thanks for making our weekend, looking forward to seeing you all next year.
Jay

There are size restrictions how big are the images size and weight?

I was glad to see Jeff brought the tricked out 968 but I really wanted to check out the Noble. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> He was a very nice guy and showed me some of the Noble stuff he had with him. Poor guy had it for 2 weeks and some guy rear ended him trying to take a photo of the car while driving. His 968 mods weren't something I would normally do but he enjoyed them and I liked checking them out and he provided some good tunes. If you saw some of his pictures the 968 was doing some car show rounds with a McLaren F1 so it is always in good company.
Flash stay away from those wheels. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

lol - i don't know - they were awfully light - really got me thinking - looked great on that color too - man, i love polar silver

Hmmm...Nova Scotia....would be nice in the summer, not too hot, not too cold, I bet maybe they have some really nice roads like in the British Isles where EVO, CAR and TOP GEAR magazines do their testing and car comparos....nice curvy deserted roads.......tasty! True, a bit of a drive for most of us though.
I agree, Pete's silver coupe with his 17" rims are da bomb

I really liked Jeff's car too...I would have put Pete's rims on that car...love those lights!

Hey, Steve, you had the Coral Red Metallic, right? Lovely car... welcome to the forums!!! Thanks again for loaning my your rim cleaner, my rims needed it bad! Your rims showed me I still have a bunch of scrubbing left to do!

I would be very happy to host a Celebration but I would fear that there might only be two cars due to the distance (both of them mine!). Seriously, I would love to do it but would anyone really drive that far?
There is a great road that we could take that ends in a lobster dinner....
All it takes is a few positve responses.

Just wanted to add my congratulations to Pete and Jay for a great event and a special thanks to Anchorman who took pity on me when I was lost and lead me to the wash and shine. While the cars were great, I was more impressed with the folks I met. I think the owners and guests were wonderful. Tech sessions were quite informative and, considering the possibility of scarce parts, a little frighting. So disappointed I could not make the entire weekend. Maybe next year if Pete and Jay are willing!
Thanks for a great time.

First post! I thought I was tech-savvy, but I've been missing a lot! I had no idea this marvelous forum existed! Of course, if I hadn't met you all last weekend I probably wouldn't be as interested.
First, a big THANKS to Jay and Melva and the Fitzpatricks. I hope all the gratitude posted here makes you feel like it was worth all the trouble! Wow, that was fun!Thanks also to everyone who posted photos.
We had a blast on the fun ride. Jay, you sure know your Porsche roads. Beautiful. Route 1 and the turnpike traffic going home were such a come down after that.
Steve and I have obsessed over our Porsche's for years but until this weekend I didn't realize I was part of a cult - I mean, I knew I was part of the Porsche cult but I wasn't aware of the healthy 968 subcult. I hardly ever even see another 968 - 20 of them lined up was mind boggling. Way cool! And what a great group of people!
Gotta tell ya I'm still glowing over "Best coupe in show." Thanks, everybody!
