Amelia Island Boxster reunion
 
Don't see anything about this but wondering if any of y'all will be in FL next weekend for the show or Boxster reunion? I'll be down with my dad and his 981. Unfortunately, I don't have the vacation time to drive mine out.

I'll be there in the corral.

I will be there, but wont be in the corral. Wife won't let me spend $50 "just to park your car???. I will be relegated to the general parking lot. How will forum members be able to identify themselves? I recommend a secret dance anytime you pass a Boxster. What do you think?

I'd like to go, but since it's on a Friday morning (!) and I'm a contractor... put two and two together on why I can't. :( ;)

So am I but I will take a day off for this.

Was either this or Sebring 12 hour for me. Much as it's killing me to miss Sebring (been the last ten years), being new to the Boxster world, I want to check out cars and meet people. Wish I could bring mine but too far of a drive for the weekend.

Dad's is silver S with red top and interior. How will we know each other? Set a time & place to meet? would be cool to put faces to screen names.

I'm in the corral as well. Also several members of the PCA Boxster Register board will be there. Boxsters get preferred parking because of the 20th Anniversary being celebrated. Hope to meet some 986forum members!

I'd love to attend the reunion and meet some forum members but it's a little far from where I'm at.

steved0x 03-03-2017 07:54 AM

Our secret code to identify 986forum members will be to ask what time it is - and the correct secret response is "It's Boxster time". Or the secret response can be "It's 9:86"

Haha. Love it!

Would anyone be interested in an after-event dinner get-together? :)

grc0456 03-03-2017 09:15 AM

I'm pretty sure the Boxster Register folks (I'm caravaning down with one who is putting his 911 in the judged field) will get together, but not sure where. Since they are parking us all in the same area of the corral, I guess we can figure it out at the end of the day. But, yeah, I'm up for it.

I wanted to go badly, but we can't find accommodations anywhere close...

Have you tried anything in Yule, FL or Kingsland, GA?

Didn't give it a thought...Just checked the Werks Reunion site, and registration is closed anyway...Bummer...

grc0456 03-03-2017 11:35 AM

You can attend for free and park in the public lot.

Amelia Island Boxster reunion
 
Agree, but there are people who do that. And it is the 20th Anniversary of the Box, so........Anyway, maybe next year? The first one seems to be successful in that they have over 650 cars registered. They were hoping for 500.

Turns out I can't go after all due to work - Flouese, if I can transfer my corral parking to you, do you want it? If you don't want to park in the corral I can see if anyone else wants it, but I will offer it to you first since I know you are going anyway. If you don't want/can't to park in the corral, Seadweller can have second shot at it.

Steve

Edit: I am emailing right now to the organizer to see if I can transfer my corral parking.

Unfortunately my Box developed hard starting and smoking issues. Would love to use your pass, but afraid of getting there and not having it start. Appreciate the offer.

sharkbyte 03-07-2017 03:59 AM

Dad's car. We'll be in the corral and roaming around. I'll be looking for those of y'all that have posted pictures.

steved0x, thanks for the kind offer! Let me know if it's transferable...I'll have to see if I can reschedule business commitments...

The person I emailed yesterday hasn't gotten back, I will widen my net and send to more emails :)

Dang that's right, from your other threads. Bummer, I hope you get it fixed soon.

flouese 03-07-2017 06:29 AM

Did we ever determine what the secret under the table handshake will be to identify other forum members?

Seadweller 03-07-2017 08:51 AM

Thanks steved0x, looks like my schedule for the remainder of the week is shot, so unfortunately, I won't be able to make it either. Makes me want to cry.

Thanks for the kind thought!!!!!

steved0x 03-07-2017 11:47 AM

Ok my corral spot is open, first come first served. Free but in return you can send me the goody bag that I would have gotten if I had gone. Please only take it if you are definitely going to go.
