Right right right, I'm glad you reminded me.
Hey, what's the age group(s) that meets at the filling station. It's not the Civic & Eclipse crowd, is it?

it's the "mature" meet.. ages are generally mid-20s on up... mostly luxury/exotic/show... skylines, vipers, lambos, ferrari, porsche, classics, etc... there will be staff working to keep an eye on cars, etc... well organized... parking specifically for the cars to show and a separate one for spectators....

just show up clean

JPW · 02-23-2008, 03:20 PM

I've got a change of plans. I will meet up at the Filling Station @ 2. Save a spot for me with the rest of the Boxsters please.

Nice pics folks!

BTW, is it always that packed with nice cars??

lucky_topher · 02-24-2008, 06:28 PM

always!

the cool thing is there are some regulars and always some new interesting cars... and 95% of the owners are really great, quality, non-stuck-up car enthusiasts who love to discuss the full gamut of cars

Jeph · 02-24-2008, 07:28 PM

Check that out! No, not the stud in the Cubs hat, but the reflection of him in the hood. I clay bar'd it for the first time today.

lucky_topher · 02-24-2008, 07:35 PM

jeph, your car is sweet.. LOVE that front end.. and the fiancee wants me to get a hardtop now

VTCMart · 02-25-2008, 04:50 PM

Glad to meet everyone, Boxsters had a strong showing. Maupin's pics are great, giving me D-SLR envy!

JPW · 02-25-2008, 06:04 PM

Great turn out. Glad to have met everyone. The only thing better than seeing them all sitting there is running them down a back country road. If the weather stays as nice as it was this weekend, we won't even have to wait until spring.

Anybody up for kicking around some ideas for routes and dates?
