Boxsters in San Antonio and Austin?

[stateofidleness]

Im in San Antonio! Weather has been great here (not last 2 days though ) Would love to do a run with some locals. I went to high school at Canyon!

I am in Houston all but I would be willing to drive for a "drive". I normally take my 10 year old son with me as he loves the ride alongs. Weather is incredible right now so lets try and get something going. PM me if anybody wants to get something scheduled.

If there was some sort of technical meet and greet
where myself or my mechanic could show folks how to
do some DIY or how to fix common maladies

would you be interested?
what would you like to see?
how would you suggest doing it?

thanks,

Mike

Heck yes. Maybe start with some "simple" stuff like:
-Belt changing
-Convertible Top adjustments
-Motor mount replacement
-Car care - Waxing/washing/treating convertible tops, best practices for cleaning etc

Then we can progress to some more difficult things. Not sure how/where to do it but I can see it would be valuable for attendees to bring their cars with the necessary items needing replacement/repair/adjustment (all with clarification beforehand of what they would like to see done so we can have the necessary experience or tools to handle the job).

Just dreaming of course because these are some of the items I know I could use a second hand with.

Happy to help coordinate something with all interested parties. Maybe we can rent a garage/lift as a group if there are enough of us so we can all wrench on our cars together. Would love to learn from some experienced guys.

Thanks

Lets get together. Come on Houston, Austin and S.A. Anybody up for a ride? Weather is great.

Boxstoberfest which is put on by the Lonestar PCA is a fun event to attend and pulls people from Austin, Houston and San Antonio and Dallas. It is a little ways off in future but something you could think about doing. It is a great way to meet other Porsche enthusiasts in the area

Anything going on in Austin or SA BEFORE Boxstoberfest?

[mshassere]

Provided we get 8 people to attend, we will have a tour van take us to 3-4 wineries (no driving....). Will be Friday afternoon, and get everyone back in time for registration.

All the details are at www.boxstoberfest.com.
