Saturday, January 31, 2009
RUF Auto Centre
3219 Commander Drive
Carrollton, TX

9:00am - ???

I saw on 6speedonline.com about this event hosted by RUF. (I emailed Hans there to confirm it.)
Get a free car scan, 21 point inspection (the car is put on a lift), and a car wash.
Hang out and chat with fellow Porsche Owners if you're in the DFW area.

Saw the ad in the MRPCA mag. I went to the same type of event at ParkPlace (Dallas Porsche dealership) and the part I enjoy the most was getting close to the LMP spyder, the CGTs and vintage RSs... I've never been to RUf and will probably take this opportunity...

Sounds like a great excuse to get the Box out and stretch her legs down I-35. :dance:

Looks like a blast, hope you guy's have fun!

In that case you definitely must go. The adjacent car storage is practically a museum of all things fast and powerful. See you there!

Tim, seeing as how I am without Porsche at this time, can I bum a ride? Or are you bringing a companion?

I think Tamera is coming with me. If that changes I'll let you know.

I will definitely go. Are you guys going in the morning or afternoon?

Jeph, PM me your location. If my wife doesn't want to join me (which she never does to these events) I can give you a ride if you'd like.

Mike

Thanks for the offer! I think I'll be getting a ride with Timothy. He lives blocks away from me. I haven't discussed time with Tim, but I imagine we'll go around 10:30-11:00am.

Cool. PM me if that changes. I'll see you out there!

Jeph, your facebook event notice says 9 - 11 and now you are saying 11 - 1? Get your act together man!! :) Since of course we are going for the free food, let's talk in terms of meals. I prefer a RUF breakfast so the afternoon is free for other projects; however, I can be pursuaded if the consensus is to go for lunch.

Let's take a vote: 1 breakfast -- 0 lunch
Jeph and 986FortyEight, how do you vote?

9:00am is fine with me... especially if you guys want a scan/wash.

Hey guys!

Are these member only?

No, come and join us! The guys at RUF welcome everyone with open arms.

Somewhere along the way I got it in my head that the event was this Saturday, not next. So I arrive at Jeph's all bright eyed and chipper, and he answers the phone sounding half asleep. Poor guy had to set me straight and I went back home to try again same time next week.

Timothy,

In the military we call that an Operational Check-Out. For your effort, "Ops Check good". :cheers:

I also had in mind the event would be today but fortunately I checked before going to bed last night! :dance:
See you for breakfast next week!

Mike

Hope to meet y'all there!
 

Guys, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I'll be joining everyone at the event. I'm picking up my 07 Boxster S this wknd, and it will be my first P-car, so of course I am ECSTATIC!!!! :dance:
I'd love to meet some other Boxster drivers so be on the lookout for my Silver/Black a the event and make sure to say hey! Thanks
J

anyone in San Antonio going that I could follow?
would love to go and see the famous RUF headquarters!

*bump*
was looking on 6speedonline for more info but failed lol

can someone confirm time and date? im actually considering this as ive never been to a "porsche" get-together, let alone RUF!!

also, is this an all-day event, or would i be missing out if i left late saturday evening?

Thanks!

The event runs 9 - 2 on this Saturday, January 31. I went to a similar one at Park Place and people typically come, hang out for an hour or two, and then go home. It's not a big weekend gathering like Boxstoberfest. Several of us are planning to meet ~9am, but if you are for sure coming from SA, perhaps we can delay a bit so you do not have to leave at 5am.

Hey guy's,

The weather in OKC is getting pretty bad. In the event that this ice storm doesn't end and melt off by Friday, I won't be coming. Can someone bring a camera and post the pics for those of us that might not make it?

Thanks in advance. :cheers:

Will do! Stay safe. The storm is supposed to hit Dallas sometime tonight.

Got mine!! I'll be there
 

Drove my new-to-me 07 S back from Florida over the wknd and absolutely loved every second of the trip! Since the temps are going to be back in the 60's by Sat I am definitely going to be hitting this event...Hope to see y'all there!!

So how will us 986forum folk be able to spot each other in the crowd?

I'll most likely be sporting a white Cubs hat.
And not my normal cowboy hat...

And I respond to "Jeph" or sometimes "Jeff."

Well, since I'm a huge Cubs' fan myself I will definitely look you up! If it's chilly, I'll have my Cubs' stocking hat on; otherwise it's the bald look for me!

Hey guys. I just found out that an old high school friend died and his funeral is Saturday afternoon. I will probably still go to RUF in the morning but won't be able to hang out past then. If I need to leave before Jeph is ready (like everyone goes to lunch or something), perhaps one of you can take him home.

You make me feel like the nerdy guy in high school that somehow found his way into the cool crowd from time to time.

As my Porsche ownership status is considered "transitional" at this time, I don't have the desire to stay for an extended period of time. I'm still cool with leaving when you do (not that the others here frighten me).

Did someone mention "Cubs Fan"?

ouch...that hurts.

65 degree's, sunshine and I was stuck at home. The wife went to work to make up some of the time she had to take off because of last weeks weather. I had to watch our 2 year old and miss the get together at RUF's today (no baby seat for the Box).

Please tell me someone took pictures and will post them.

I took some pix -but they're worth posting. I've been there a few times before so seeing the same cars over and over doesn't seem as photo-worthy. Besides, my pix are just camera phone pix.

What you really missed out on was meeting some cool people. Everyone was really nice, both patrons and RUF staff -they always are.

The weather being nice was an added bonus.

I can't wait to see what I missed... :dance:

A day late but here they are!
