January 2009 Events

For January, our plans are as follows:

January 3rd (1st Saturday), we'll be meeting as usual at Camille's in Brier Creek @ 9:00AM.

For this gathering though, we do have a little business to conduct...that being our calendar of events for 2009. There will be several events at VIR this year we can drive to as well as the Porsche Hurricane club Oktoberfest and our December Durham Rescue Toy Drive. But, I want us as a group think of other activities and ride-n-drives we can do, so, everyone put on your thinking caps and come with ideas!

January 10th (2nd Saturday), we'll be our 2nd Annual New Years Drive to Pinehurst. More details to follow; E.G. where to meet up, exact times, etc. Last year we had good participation from other owners in Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston Salem.

The general plan will be to meet in Pinehurst around 10:30ish and have lunch around 11:30. Afterwards, the plan will be to tour Bjorn Nordemo's famed Mercedes Benz restoration shop; Sports Leicht.

Durham Rescue Toy Drive...Thank You!!!

The words “Thank You” are not remotely enough to express my sincere appreciation for everyone’s generosity in helping with today’s Toy Drive for the Durham Rescue Mission. What a tremendous success for it’s first year.

Thank you to Marc, Whitney, and Todd for making the long trek to Raleigh for this event. I do appreciate every time you are able to spend a Saturday morning with us.

Thank you to Kevin Heimbaugh (the toy sleigh), Bob Kim, and Jerry Magolan for coordinating the Porsche group! Also a huge “Thank You” to Kevin for coordinating the S2000 owners, and to John for coordinating the NSX guys! Thank you Spencer for getting a few of the Lotus owners to come out. Without your help, today’s event would have been so much less.

As for the Italians, we had all 3 Countach's present along with a Scud, 599, a handfull each of 360s, 430s, 348s, 308s, a 575, and Matt in his 355 Spyder (top down and 30F!) and a beautiful Pantera. What a fantastic day!...enjoy the pics.
