And you thought YOU had a bad day ...

[Ronzi]

Just back from CA where I attended the German Autofest Porsche show in Ventura.
Several hundred Porsches of every vintage on display, including a new Carrera GT, Porsche specialist vendors of every kind, a huge parts swap meet (virtually zero Boxster stuff), Porsche memorabilia, etc., etc. Definately worth attending if you like shows.
Somebody had a really bad day however. On Sunday evening, a transporter loaded with at least four Porsches got stuck on the train tracks that run alongside the show site at the Ventura fairgrounds. About a minute later an oncoming Surfliner train smashed into the transporter, destroying what appeared to be two 356 Speedsters, a 356 coupe, and a 911 Carrera Cabriolet. The transporter driver was able to get out of the truck before the crash, so at least nobody was injured.
Pictures were on the Ventura newspaper web site, if you care to look for them.
