ever get together and actually drive your car's? Not trying to bust balls, but there doesn't seem to be much interaction in 924 land other than online.

I would love to. It just seems that everybody is so far away. Gas is so friggin high and you have to be constantly working just to survive.

When ever I see someone with a 944 or 924 I do a u-turn in the road and try to talk to them. Have not met any locals who love the cars as much as I do. People just kind of look at me wierd.

It is bizarre. There are probably 50+ west coast people registered on the Board, and nobody seems very motivated to do anything. . .can't get anyone to go to the races, or the last two Porsche Parades (one here in Portland, one in San Diego).

Go figure.

I've owned my 924 close to 4 year's and have yet to run with another.

I have seen only one other 924 in my area but not recently.
Nearest other one that I know of is 1400 klms away.
Seen a couple of 944's here though.

Peter,

When my toofah is back on the road let's organise a local catchup! Are there any others in Sydney?

Cheers,
G.

I'd love to organize a local Porsche meet! I've done it for the Toyota Supra crowd...but It doesn't seem like there are any local 924 owners around my area...at least they aren't online anyway. Are there any SoCal Porsche clubs/online forums?

When Paul was in Brisbane a few years back, a handful of us got together and drove to Montville/Maleny for the afternoon...

I've been to the local track to watch macBdog run his car.

Other than that, I've caught up with many 'board members in Oz, The 'States and Canada but I must admit, we haven't really gathered for a proper drive day.

I think it just may be the wrong group, and too few people in a large area.

I have done day road trips with a few other 928s (12), and have had and gone to many tech sessions for the 928 as well. In fact just last weekend had 3 928 fellows come out to my place to install my new suspension, koni's with 1000 lbs spring front and 500 lbs rear, with tubular racing upper a arms.

I would be willing to go to BC some weekend to drive, talk 924, and just hang out. It would be better once I'm back on the road.

For that matter I would be willing to host in the Seattle area sometime. Have to get clearance with the wife, but I would expect that she would be open to it. Get a group together and trade parts and knowledge. Maybe arrange a drive? There is some pretty country around here with some twisty roads.

I don't have a huge space, a two + car garage and one spare bedroom but I think it's possible.
