I think I mentioned this event to several of you at the last meet. This happens every September in Ventura. It is a blast if you are a porsche buff.

Here's a couple shots.

Check out this parking lot. Every car in the lot is a porsche of some sort.

Here's some more.

I've gone for the last three years. It's amazing every year. Of course, half the fun is the drive down the coast. Anyone interested for next year, just let me know.

Absolutely! We drive the first day to SLO, spend the night, then on to Ventura. We spend one night there and start back up the coast, spending the night in Carmel. Then one last stretch home. Tons of fun to be had by all.

Me too. It has a NA 450 hp 3.6 flat six. Pretty amazing. It too can be yours for a measly $200,000.

Those fender add-ons aren't going to noticeably affect airflow over the car.
