I'm staying in Pismo friday & plan to have lunch at the Nepenthe about 2:00 on Saturday.

Pismo is 15 minutes from my house... I will probably hit the road by 10:00 and stop at Ragged Point first, just north of San Simeon (nice views), which should be around 11:00. Then Nepenthe should be about 2 1/2 to 3 hours from there. I will keep an eye out.

Man I'm tempted to drive south and meet you guys. Part of the fun going to Parade or Escape is the group drive there. With Parade in my backyard I only have to drive just over an hour and it's a routine drive for us here to Monterey. Drove to SLC Parade 2012, Flagstaff for Escape. It was a blast driving there as a group.

Hope to see you guys in Monterey.

I'll be in car #264

My brother (black 944 turbo S) and I will be sharing a garage, so I'm sure we'll meet.

I've driven L-S many times via Johannes van Overbeek. ;)
GT3 RS fast lap at Laguna Seca - YouTube
This has been my "training" video for the proper lines.

I've also watched vids from Caymans to catch what gears they're running.

I'll be driving the green Cayman S Sport.

For anyone leaving Bay Area after the weekend probably early Monday morning I'll be heading down in the 981 CS just for one day. Planning to see the concours and then maybe do some fun driving down to Nepenthe and back... Then back home...should be a loooong day....heh. Couldn't convince the wife to go along for anything. :/

My Boxster blew the water pump so I'll be driving the 914. It's copper colored. right now I'm in Cambria at the Cambria Palms; plan on leaving here by 10am and stopping at Nepenthe around 11:30 or so. Should be at Raggity Point around 11ish

Going to volunteering for the tours to Canepe Design and Big Sur, plan on staying at M6 in Marina. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1402710736.jpg

Sorry to hear about the Boxster.

While in Cambria checkout Santa Rosa Creek rd. It's off Main st and head east. Beautiful country road drive. It feeds back to Hwy 46.

Did you sign up for the Boxster Register photo shoot on Sunday before the welcome party? I signed up but I don't know if i'll make it in time. I volunteered to be part of the Welcome party and my shift is 1-5pm Sunday.

I am by now means Johannes von Overbeck, but some time ago I put these three instruction videos together, if you have never driven there they might come in handy.

I rode a bike a couple of miles up Santa Rosa Creek Road. Pretty cool back there. Didn't sign up for Boxster photo shoot; will be at the welcome party sunday for sure.

Arrived about 3 hours ago... Here are some photos:

Jager - is it just cleaning going on or do they have vacuums and water available? My car is full of bugs and brake dust. Should be arriving around 2-3pm tomorrow. Currently in Reno.

I didn't see any water hose or vacuum cleaners in the garage. Everyone there was using their own equipment.

Check this out. How's this for hardcore preparation.

Nice. I can't wait to get down there and see the 919 which I assume will be there... Been watching live stream of some of Le Mans... That car sounds like a space ship when it down shifts heh.

Concours prep...looks fun. I should have gone to a tech workshop just for the info...DEFINTIELY not entering hahaha

I believe there is a separate wash area. Not sure about the vacuums, I did not see any in the prep area.

I am sending you a PM

I walked around and found the wash point.
It's located by bldg 5. Follow the signs towards
The hotel registration and PCA welcome tent.
You will see signs for wash area from there. The
Wash area is small and have only two hoses and 7 parking
stalls.

Have you had breakfast yet?
Just sent you a PM

It's a 2008 Limited edition. 250 base and 250 S made for this run. The color is inspired from the GT3RS. The owners name is Lee from Illinois. He's mainly in the Boxster Register forum.

Unveiling of GTS
 

I saw this car covered on the front stage during the PCA welcome party. Hans Peter Porsche is uncovering the car.
