OH Lunch Gathering

[RandallNeighbour]

Well, I'm now sitting in the Columbus airport waiting for my flight home to hot and humid Houston. I met up with MikenOH, OhioBoxster and Der Geist today for lunch. Below is a lousy phone picture I took of us after lunch so you can see what they look like.

Also had a spirited ride in OhioBoxster's SC'd 2.5 ... He took it to 6k in every gear and when he upshifted, the force slammed me back in my seat! It felt as if he had put a completely different and much larger engine in the car, at just 5 psi boost.

Now I have what I need emotionally to save every penny and get an SC kit for my boxster. With this kind of power, one could theoretically, of course win most any road race with Mustangs, 350z's etc. LOTS more power in every gear.

Great to see you boxster buds getting together! Ok, now you got me thinking about that SC kit. Can it be done for a 2.7L?

Ohoibox is the big guy, lol. Im guessing randal is the guy with his wife, and der geist is the one at the end of the table. And yes, 2.7's have SC'ers

Der Geist is across from me; Randall is next to my wife.

It was great fun; a long drive for sure from where we got together but a pretty unique setting. I hope to see DerGeist and OhioBoxster either at Mid-Ohio or Nelsons Ledges next year.

Mike, the way it reads forum members will think I am the good looking guy on the right and that's YOU. I was taking the picture and not in that shot.

No one needs to see a fat, middle aged balding guy anyway. Use your imagination.

that pretty cool...meeting a forum members from out of state! hopefully someday I could do the same. So if anyone that is heading to SF Airport(45mins away) or San Jose airport (15mins away)...let me know, Im up to meet any forum member

My wife and I enjoyed meeting everyone and Der geist again. Randall I had no idea you had such a good sense of humor, you crack me up. Im glad you liked the ride. Its a little nerve racking taking someone I've never met before for a ride like that in the rain,lol. Mike, your wife likes to race? Sweet.
We are going to take you up on that trip to Cleveland DG.

Oh yea, +2 SC

Edit

Well I was hoping Randall would tell the story because words just flow magicaly from his finger tips. Guess not, I will tell you what happened.....We were all sitting there enjoying conversation and a nice lunch buffet when all of the sudden
BOOM BOOM!! . Startled, all of us jumped up and ran outside....there is was. My Porsche along with Der Geists had spontaneously exploded. Unfreakin believeable I know. Luckily for us the fry cook moonlights as a Porsche mechanic he had us on our way in no time.

+3 SC
