Ok, looking forward to tomorrow! Goodie bags are ready, food is being cooked tonight and brats ready to go on the grill tomorrow.

Plan on plenty of Porsche conversation to last throughout the day.

The weather man calls for sunny and mid 60's, another December day in SoCal.

Yesterday, 12/20/2014, Jack hosted his annual 356th day of the year. Although close to Christmas, I always refer to a collection of 356s as reminding me of an Easter basket with all the beautiful colors. Jack's party did not disappoint in that regard. A great collection of cars and people.

I was dispatched as official family photographer and posted the pix here:

Craig Richter's car, since we had not previously met him in person:

Although self-promotion is strictly forbidden here please indulge me this shot of our car with Bill in the background unfortunately mostly obscuring Jack in his Santa hat

Nice coupe owned by fellow woodie owners

Another nice coupe with a bus owned by current prez of SoCal Woodies in the background. Jack knows a LOT of air cooled aficionados.
