A Porsche event invite from the Rennlist 993 forum...

Save the date! Get out your calendars, blackberries, appointment books, daytimers, etc. to mark down that the last MD/DC/N.Va "Meet and Drive" for 2009 will occur at 10am, Nov 8th, Sunday at the Rockville, MD. Starbucks - Mid-Pike Plaza, 11802 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD. (Rain date will be Sunday, Nov 29th, Thanksgiving weekend)
This is one of your last chances of the season to meet fellow Porsche lovers, break that garage queen out of the garage, see some really cool cars, check out each other's mods, and catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
So... we'll meet around 10am, hang out till around 11:15-11:20am, take a spirited drive in the country that would be diferent than last time:burnout:, and then have lunch at Hard Times Cafe in Rockville around 12:30pm. You could show up for the "Meet", do the "Meet and Drive", or do the "Meet, Drive AND Lunch". Please let me know if you're doing the lunch so I can tell the restaurant about how many are coming. People really liked the food and prices here last time so we're doing it again (you can eat for under $10 easily for those on a budget).
Hard Times Cafe
1117 Nelson St Rockville, MD 20850 (301) 294-9720.


So, are you in?

Hey,

Out of Curiosity is this JUST a Porsche owner meet, or can other people show up if we have decent cars

(I DONT own a Volkswagen)

 

It's a "Meet and Drive" invite for Porsche owners but feel free to show up if you like! Lots of cool Porsches to check out and sometimes other cars show up like various Ferrari's.

 

I think ill meet up with you guys and drive around =)

I have the closest thing to a 911 turbo you can get for less that a 10th the price =)

 

Ok, I'll take the bait. What DO you drive!!!??? I'm sure it's awesome in it's own right. I love all cars, from Dodge Neons to 911 Porsches from Hyundai Elantras to Mercedes Benz S65's, from Datsun 240z's to BMW Z8's. They all have a warm spot in my heart and they all serve an interesting purpose for what they are.

 

Bump...
