Porsche owners near Tiburon

#1 Post by Sanjay Rao »

Hi fellow members,

Wanted to see if anyone here lives around Tiburon / Belvedere in NorCal and would be interested in meeting up. I have been sorting through my 1956 A coupe after having a mild restoration done to it over the prior few years.

Would be great to connect with folks here and go out for a drive one of these days.

Happy Holidays otherwise!

Best,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
There are several of us 356 owners in Marin County.
Have you been to the Porsche gatherings at the old EASY in Emeryville?
First Saturday of each month. 9 to 1.
Join 356CAR. Steve Douglas and others put on road trips and other events.
After the Holidays we should meet up and take a drive out to West Marin.
All the best!

Hi Dan -- thanks for your note. I haven't made it over there. I have some air cooled 911s and have been pretty active in the PCA GGR with the fun runs if anyone has done them. I will try to make it over there one of these days. I will join 356CAR -- have been following on Facebook for a while! I am game to meet up post the holidays. Would be great to connect with you all and go for a drive! Wish you all the best for the new year!

I was really looking forward to EASY and running some East Bay errands on Saturday, but looks like the weather is not going to cooperate. 1/2”-1” of rain with 30-40 mph wind gusts. Maybe next month? It’s Groundhog Day! I’ll be there for sure. Hope to meet you soon, Sanjay! Jay

Also, +1 for joining 356CAR. It’s very reasonably priced. Most of the events/drives start way too early, but they usually make it easy for people like me, who like to sleep in on the weekends, to catch up. :wink: Jay

Sanjay, Jay and Greg,
First, Greg didn't I meet you at the Cornerstone/Sonoma drive? I have the red Speedster.

Anyway, it looks like a rainout for me at EASY on Saturday. But...Sunday morning there is a Cars & Coffee at Vintage Oaks shopping center in Novato. MAYBE no rain.
It starts and ends early but I hope to see you there. I may bring the white C coupe rather than the Speedster if the rain is threatening.

If you local Bay Area guys haven't been to the Cars & Coffee in Novato, you really ought to check it out. There are upwards of 400 cars, trucks and motorcycles.
It's the first Sunday morning of every month. Get there EARLY. No later than 8:00.

Looks like the Weather Gods really don’t want there to be any EASY Coffees in 2019. 0 for 3 so far. Hopefully see some of you in April. J

Yeah, guys always show up. Just not nearly as many when it rains.
9:00 is a good time to arrive.
