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 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.

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.

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"

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

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.

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.
