It does seem that you are the only NOLA Boxster guy at times....that is certain!
I got my first "Porsche wave" yesterday while driving up 59 to Abita from a superclean Carerra 4 (silver) --- Maybe it was Max in his new ride??? LOL.

Just moved from Metairie...don't enjoy the commute, but the quality of life is truly second to none. We have been enjoying the trace, Abita and just having fun with the ole' Box! (Took apart my LCD climate box and replaced the "Rising Sun" damaged LCD in about 15 minutes, and put on my Stuttgart front license plate --- looks pretty unique at this point....)

Take care, hope to see you on the roads....

Glad to hear it man! I not only want to hear about it, I want to come see it. --- heck, drive it! Of course to give you a second opinion for when you draft your driving report for the forum!

LOL.

We want pics and details. Glad you made it back safely.....
See ya soon.

[Gary in BR]

Hi Gary in BR, Wow another south louisiana boxster on this site, I have been on this site for awhile and never saw so many local boxsters......

[meerzee]

I tell you......We need a good ole' fashioned 986 Cajun Fun Run (maybe include 996s now that Max has outclassed us! LOL!!!) ---- maybe up to Abita BrewPub or just a loyal crawfish boil?

Crawfish boil:
I will be glad to host it at my new home in Mandeville (right off Hwy 59) and pay for the crawfish and beer, if someone wants to bring their pots and cook em up!
Heck, we could have a little Porsche maintenance day too if ya'll are feeling
really energetic!

Maybe early April?
Get in touch with me....

Any of you guys in the local PCA chapter?

Congratulations! I'm happy it all worked out for you. :dance:

LETS DO IT!!!

PARTY AT ANDYS HOUSE!!!!


Local PCA stuff.

I was the membership chairperson for 2 years for our chapter.

I am in Whiskey Bay, by PCA rules Whiskey Bay covers East Baton Rouge Parish all the way to Texas.
http://whbpca.org/

Because of the closeness of everyone in BR and NO area we cross into and out of the clubs alot. PCAs charter is desinged so that if you are a member of the national club you can go to any clubs events.

The New Orleans clubs web site is
http://mgpca.org/


Because of the vast amount of the state that the Whiskey Bay club covers we alternate between "Baton Rouge" and "Lafayette" events.

This month is the oddball month. This past weekend we went to Ponchatoula to a German restaurant. and in April I think the 12-13th we are having our joint event with us and Mardi Gras region at No Problem Raceway
http://www.noproblemraceway.com/

I dont have all of the details for the multi club event, but I know there will be a Porsche car show, a band, BBQ, club race, and touring laps for those not in the race, last year they even set up a tour of plantation homes and antique shopping for those that do not want to be at the track (by no means will I say for the women because we have a few female members that can drive rings around some of the men Renee (female) in her 997 GT3 knows what I mean) As soon as everything is final I was planning on posting here.


I think joining the PCA is well worth it. The magazine, the discount for parts at the dealership. The events are good also. We do Tech events, dinner, road rallies, DE's its a pretty diverse group of cars. 356 Speedsters, all sorts of 911's, a Gembella 996 Turbo, a few members have Lambos and Ferrari's and they bring them out. 997 GT3s, a Twin Turbo Boxster. A highly modified 996c4 (the C4 is amazing), Caymans and 944's. You name it we have it.

I hope this does not count as a thread high jack; the question was asked if there were any PCA members.

Post #18 in this thread.

He bought the car.

What is that noise I hear???

[RandallNeighbour]

I really have no big April plans and since somebody's boiling mudbugs I think I should be invited!

Of course you are invited....any 986er (especially black on tan) is a friend of mine.

[nola911]

I wonder what the neighbors will think when a half dozen black boxsters roll in to the 'hood.

[Sputter]

I'm glad it worked out to your satisfaction :-)

Um, mine's triple black. I'll get right to work redoing the interior in tan for the big event to fit in!

Actually, I just bought 39 sq. ft. of black leather to swath the interior in it as I have time this year before I drive up to NC for the tail of the dragon trip.

Would you guys be up for a meet and greet in September too when I roll through on the way to NC?

[CT986S]

Max - Wow! When you read this thread from the beginning you don't think it's going to end with a party! Great news.

And to Gary in BR "I have had other 911s behind me prior to mods and noticed that in the curves a little "underpowered" boxster can leave them behind."

One of the original Miata gurus had as his tag
"If you can't go fast with 90 HP then 900 HP isn't going to help."
Pretty true and proven many times out in the twisties - only the 986 is better!
