Who would be interested in a Boxster 'Tour' (CT area)

Hi all,
In the PCA we referred to this as a 'coffee run' tour. It starts out meeting at one spot in the morning, (coffee), then driving, stop at a place for food/beverage, then more driving, then stop at a final destination for a late lunch/dinner.

I would like to organize one for us 986'sters. I have some roads already in mind and some food stops too.

Would anyone be interested?

Chris

Count me in. Those runs are fun - as we found with the Miata club. There are lots of good roads in CT.

I'm in Stamford which is down in the bottom left of the state. I'd probably be up for a drive around the state whenever

I've done these with the CT PCA group before, and they are lots of fun. Let me know when the next one is.

Here's a pic from one I went on last yr. Nice turnout, nice folks, and great fun!

You can count me in as well, as long as the weather cooperates!

Good response so far! I'll start planning. I hope we hear from more folks here that would like to go! I do know that Harry's in Colchester is on the list of stops.

I thought this pic looked familiar. This was the one in August yet? That was the first one I went on.

After my trip to Lime Rock in Lakeville last Saturday I would say defintely yes! The countryside is beautiful. The drive up to Lime Rock once I got off of 684/84 was a pleasure.

Yep. Was a great bunch of folks we met that day. I had a couple buddies join in with me as well on that drive and lunch event.
