Is it just for Boxsters? Is everyone welcome? I'd like to stop by and meet folks.

Not just for Boxsters. In fact, the first project will be a GT2. Jeff

Cool Doug, hopefully we'll finally get to meet up!

What time does this thing start? Do I need to bring anything?

I always forget to put down the time. We always start at 10:00am, but you swing by an hour later. The GT2 will not take long but it does take a bit longer if we film it. Another owner is waiting for parts.

I should charge admission. Aileen "Madam No Fear" will be removing the interior like she did on 3 cars in the DVDs. She is sofast I though Stevens Creek Porsche would hire her when I showed some of the guys down there the B&M install DVD.

Heya Tool Pants,

Thanks,

Happy to have you. Henry has parking for about 12 just on his driveway.

I was going to meet you 996ers last week at Starbucks since I live in Evergreen and do the drive to Aromas, but I did not get up until 7. I have met Doug who drives a C4S on rubber bands.

I do not know the GT2 owner since he is from SF but one of the things he wants done is to put in a different center console, shift, and hand brake. Bet it is carbon.

Alex;
They start at 10:00 am.

Also, in the first post on this thread, the link to Babblers Boards - in that thread has a map for directions.

Maybe they can fix that boost gauge "thingy" hanging out of your car

Thanks Doug,

LOL actually Stephen made me a trick boost gauge which would be cool to rig up to the car. I just have run it through the rear of the car inside...

Kirby, Madam No Fear not only changes oil, but the filter as well.

But we will not be doing oil changes tomorrow. That will be another day when we video tape servicing cars for the next DVD.
