Hi All,
On October 14th, RS barn held an invitational event for Clients and friends. On short notice 9 cars showed up (OK, 8 Porsches and 1 BMW Z3).
The course covered 50 miles of some of Bucks County PA's most beautiful roads and covered bridges, in the height of the "Foliage Season".
Here are a few pics and more picstures can be found at:

Sorry I couldn't make it, looks like you had good weather for top down driving.
Jay, is that your car with the bra?

Hi Mark,
It was absolutely beautiful!!! I was planning on topdown/windows up/heat on....turned out to just be top down, sunny and smiles from ear to ear.
Yes, I like the look of the bra because it accents the deviating gray black interior...and because my lower grill is badly in need of replacing (hopefully a winter project).
Regards,
Jay

I like the look of the bra because it accents, well, other things...oops wrong bra...I would've loved to join you guys, but no invite. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/sad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Jay, I'm planning on doing the 2 968engineering grilles as my lower one is almost non-existent and my car always looks like it's smiling. Everytime I have it up, it makes me want to start removing screws to pull the bumper cover, but then I realize that it's probably an all day job. I hope to have it reshot while it's off to fix some paint curtains from the previous owner, so probably a winter project for me too.
Great pics...glad you guys had fun.

Hi Sean,
Pete's yellow turbo race car was parked safely in the Barn. But here's pics from Pocono a few weeks ago...(by the way, take a good look at my profile pic <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> )

wow I didn't realize that thing was so tweaked out for racing. Looks real aggressive.
with the body-color light covers and squarish bits at the front of the hood, it looks a bit like a 951 from the front.
BTW - what's up with your profile pic ? I see a bunch of pcars (kewl) but am I missing something?

The yellow car is completely a race car. No interior, fuel cell, full cage, race bucket driver's seat and no prayer of getting a second seat in there. It was built by Porsche as a race car although I think they actually had some of the CS interior (I've got his center console sitting here that I need to return) but Pete has it in full race mode.
I think Jay is telling me his profile has always shown the car with the bra and I am unobservant <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> or he updated it with a new pic.

If you look across the hood of my car in the pits you can read "POCONO" across it in the reflection.
The pits are as far as I will take my car, but what a day, despite the fog and rain. RTR Region raised about $60k for Make-a-Wish, got to see some very rare and VERY fast cars. Pete had the only 968 (on the track).
Regards,
Jay

Pocono is a mountain range in Pennsylvania that just happens to have a Roval racetrack in the area. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> The NASCAR boys use it a couple times a year and the local car clubs use the road course for races and driving schools. Personally, I find the track completely uninspiring. I'd rather drive another couple hours to go to the Glen.
