Danielle Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, The season opener is set for Sunday, May 15th! The final lunch stop will be at the Symons Valley Ranch at approximately 12:00 pm. I have just been notified that they are no longer doing Sunday brunches but they are willing to open for us as long as we have enough people participating. We will order from their menu. Please reply here if you are going to be coming so I can make reservations! (As of Friday 6:10pm, there are about 30 people that RVSP'd so far and the restaurant is a-go!) The drive departs at 9:00 am from Chapters Crowfoot Starbucks. Edited May 14, 2011 by Danielle Quote Link to comment

Fritz Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 please check if children can be at Symons Valley Ranch. I made the mistake and booked a lunch stop in Water Valley Saloon and Ian's daughter was not allowed to get in. I felt very bad, we try to get the young members involved and than they can't have lunch with the group. Fritz Quote Link to comment
Danielle Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 yes kids are OK, it's just a regular restaurant, themed like western. Quote Link to comment

KevinJ Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi Danielle! Jane is now joining us. 11:28 PM and am just back in after a evening photo shoot of the Boxster. Kevin Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
Danielle Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 As of tonight there are enough people for the restaurant to be open for us. We'll have the whole place to ourselves which will be nice! This evening, Brodie and I scoured the land for some new and fun roads and we came up with a great route for Sunday. Lookin' forward to it! Quote Link to comment
Guest ArcticOne Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I am hoping to make it up from Medicine Hat for this event. I was wondering if someone who is going on the event could PM me a cell phone number in case I get delayed transiting the prairies and then transiting the megopolis of Calgary. I'm 3 hours to downtown, just not sure of exact time to the nether regions of the northwest. Thanks jb Edited May 13, 2011 by ArcticOne Quote Link to comment

Guest 996turbo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I am in too with my wife if i can get her out of bed that early. Quote Link to comment
Frank Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sarah, Callum and myself are in. Might have to make a stop to change little guys diapper along the way. This could be a good opportunity to see which Porsche spoiler would make the best change table lol. Quote Link to comment
Guest ArcticOne Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 whew, glad the SC is sans spoiler. just to be on the safe side I might need to apply an extra coating of wax Sarah, Callum and myself are in.

unreal6 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks everybody (especially Danielle for organizing) a great drive today. I have to apologize, Meagan and I had to bail from lunch on the way home, a casualty of those gail force winds. We got hit with a big gust while already at a slightly elevated speed during a routine passing maneuver, and a piece of the NARP's windshield trim got blasted partially loose. Meagan was able to hold onto the loose end conveniently through the passenger window (the quick thinking trooper that she is), so although bent a bit, it wasn't lost to the road kill gods. A quick stop in Cremona, some handy dandy duct tape (second most useful vintage car emergency tool to carry after a cell phone), and we were good to go... But I thought it best to call it a day. Hope everybody else had a 'blast' too! Quote Ian 65 T34 75 914 2.7-6 86 951 Link to comment

See you all another time and have a great week. TOM Quote Link to comment
Brodie Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ian, glad everything worked out for you. Thanks to everyone that attended for making this a really wonderful and fun gathering. Brodie Quote Link to comment
Danielle Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Today was so fantastic, thanks to everyone for coming. There were 26 cars! I loved the surprised looks on the workers faces when all of a sudden 40 people walked into their sleepy little general store! Quote Link to comment
Frank Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 A few pics I took today. Would like to thank everyone for decorating my property with their P cars. Has to be some of the nicest lawn ornaments around lol. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011806.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011805.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011816.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011817.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011819.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/sarahkennedy/05152011810.jpg Quote Link to comment
Guest ArcticOne Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks all - great day (excepting the hurricane winds). Was good to meet lots of other enthusiasts. Here's hoping that this is the start of a great season on the highways and sideways. And we do have to go back to the store as I already finished my hot pepper jerky - hmmmmmm. Must say that the drive home against the howling wind was tiring for both me and the little car. But made it home safe and sound. And Ian - thanks for the tip. Will add the duct tape to the tool box. Some additional views. Quote Link to comment
RUSH1 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks to Brodie and Danielle for all their hard work organizing this event.Sorry I did not make it to the lunch but as you can see the Porsche gang wore my son out! I will be sure to post pictures on the Porsche Canada website tomorrow. Derek and Mitchell p.s. my son took the picture of the Porsche wheel...looks like Kevin has some competition!
