A great tribute for a wonderful person. I've posted my shots in the 996 forum.

This morning was an absolutely fantastic tribute to Ben. As I heard then saw Matt in his CGT roar past CC on PCH the sound of the engine and the sight of the car and all of the pcars that followed sent chills down my spine. Everyone and I mean everyone at CC that was in the parking lot walked to the edge of PCH and watched as Porsche upon Porsche entered the CC. The only sound you could hear as people stood in silence was the burbling and blips of Porsche exhaust notes. It was quite a sight. Not to mention the outpouring of emotion and respect of the 6speed community and people from other marques. I was honored to take part in the tribute and had an absolute joy driving with some amazing individuals to Fashion Island. I really enjoyed the stories of Ben that were shared by his close friends and the comments shared by all. It did not matter if you drove a Ford, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo or Mini, today the enthusiast community came together to honor a great guy. Ben will be missed but never forgotten.
Ben was definitely shining on us ALL today. May God rest his soul and may he give strength to his family and close friends during this difficult time.
Best to all,
Rob

NYSEguy, the spot to the left of the C-GT in that last picture by VTi is the spot that was left empty.
It was an amazing gathering and we owe a lot of it to guys like Thomas (TUUNER) and Albert (bumble996) who just made this whole thing happen so perfectly. Thanks to everyone involved. The photography, pictures, turnout, memorial drive route and everything leading up to it. You guys crammed what is easily months worth of planning into 48 hours and everything worked perfectly.
Ben is up there looking down at us with a huge grin right now.
