Alex Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My Ps are "sleeping" and I don't have winter tires for them either.... so all I have is the GMC Sierra.

dragon Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm signed up but I'll be running my winter ride, a supercharged double cab long box toyota tacoma. Should be interesting trying to manoeuvre that stretched limo lol! Quote Link to comment
Nostrathomas Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'll be there. While Im slightly hesitant to take the 964 C2, I have winter tires on it, and have taken it out occasionally on nicer days this winter, so I don't think I have an excuse. I'm fairly new to the air-cooled 911 experience (coming from a Cayman) so getting some pro-tips definitely can't hurt. I just hope our winter hasn't been too warm for the ice to thin!

Rob996 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm signed up but I'll be running my winter ride, a supercharged double cab long box toyota tacoma. Should be interesting trying to manoeuvre that stretched limo lol! 2 years ago I took my 2013 3/4 ton diesel. It was not as much fun as my 928S last year it was still worth the money to have some controlled fun.

KevinJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi Malcom: Sorry I missed you! I was there taking photos for part of the day. What vehicle did you have? I'll see if I have one of you and send on to you. Kevin Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment

dragon Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hey Malcolm, I must have missed you too, but I guess I was too busy pointing the wrong way or on the wrong line most of the time I did catch a glimpse of Alex in the parking lot though. Quote Link to comment
KevinJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A photo showing some of the fun our members had yesterday. No cars were damaged and no one froze! Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
Rick Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi Kevin Thanks for taking personal time out of your weekend to come out and capture (in images) what was an outstanding day of Fun & Learning for the participants. The shot above has me intrigued to see what else you glimpsed through your lens. I would be pleased to prepare a paragraph or two summarizing the day's events for you to use in the next newsletter.

Nostrathomas Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 All in all, what a great day. A great chance to take your car to, and sometimes beyond, the limits of control in about as risk-free of a situation as it comes. I personally learned a ton (even though there's a ton more room for growth, ha) and hopefully some of it was ingrained for good. I didn't get a chance to take a lot of action shots, but managed to sneak in a few other during the day.

KevinJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Rick: You're welcome. I still have a touch of my cold but getting out of the house yesterday felt great. I expected to last 2 hours and stayed for 4. I would love for you to submit a story for the newsletter! It is currently on hold as I have very little content. So go for it Rick! I have a bunch of photos I can include. Kevin Edited March 2, 2015 by KevinJ Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment

emalzer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hey Kevin, those are some great shots! Is there any chance that you got any of my Cayman S (the older of the two in attendance)? I think you were positioned really well for some of my spectacular failures and maybe a hero moment Quote Link to comment
