2nd Saturday Austin Texas GTG

VERY special 2nd Saturday coming up January 8th! The D/FW crew is coming down to see us! We have not had them down in a LONG TIME, so that will be very special. If we are lucky Tony will have his VERY CUSTOM and newly painted GTS here from Rockport and I suspect we will have a few Houston folks join us too.

Now, because the D/FW crew is coming down we are going to meet at a different location that will be easier for them to get to.

We will meet at Twin Peaks in Round Rock which is at the corner of I-35 and Toll 45 (the NE corner of that intersection). We will meet at lunch time. I should be there about 11AM. Hope to see you all in two weeks!

ONE WEEK AWAY!

2nd Saturday January 2011 is ALMOST HERE!

We should have several folks coming down from D/FW and maybe some folks coming over from Houston and as usual our crew from SA should be coming up!

We are going to meet further north (I know for those of you in South Austin this seems like SUCH a CHORE...but remember we have guys driving 3+ HOURS to see YOU...so get off you butts and get up here to Round Rock...it won't kill you and we won't even ask to see your passports as you cross the river! at the Twin Peaks in Round Rock. It is at the I-35 and Toll 45 intersection. In the NE corner of that intersection to be exact.

We always meet at lunch and start gathering around 11:15AM or so.

Hope to see a big group this Sat Jan 8, 2011!

Lots of pics please so that we maylive vicariously throu your winter GTG.

We had an AWESOME EVENT this weekend! The weather held out VERY NICELY for us...just a beautiful day! These shots were taken by my friend Carl. He has been using my '81 for about 3 YEARS NOW! At least he keeps it in the garage and he is going to take care of some issues with the leather dash that have cropped up while he has been borrowing the car, so that is nice... we will see if they get handled properly and well, I think they will.

Anyway, my friend that helped with the EURO85 wheel wells drove the '84 S and I drove EURO85, so it was nice to have a few of my collection on hand. There were about 25 928's at the event and they brought about 35 people with them! LOL! It was BY FAR the biggest ASS gathering we have had! We had 12 cars and 15 folks come down from D/FW to join us and 2 folks come up from SA to join us! VERY NICE!

Very cool James, glad that it was a good turn out.

Hello Porsche 928 fans!

It is time again for our monthly ASS (Austin Shark Society) gathering!

We are going to meet for lunch in South Austin this month!

It is just over a week away on Feb. 12th and we will start to gather around 11AM at Matt's El Rancho. This is an Austin original Tex-Mex place with great history and heritage. Thanks to Tom and the South Austin gang for pointing out this location. I have been there once before for a Porsche Club of America lunch when we had Bill Dollohite come and speak to us about his then under construction racing facility here in Austin (The Driveway Austin as it is called). I think it will prove to be an enjoyable location for us to gather (if the weather will hold out for us!)

Here are the direction provided by Jim Stadter. Thanks Jim!

Matt's El Rancho
2613 South Lamar Boulevard
(512) 462-9333

It's approximately 1.5 miles north of 360 and approximately 2mile south of Barton Springs. For the folks coming from the north down Mopac, you could take the Barton Springs/Zilker Park exit, head east on Barton Springs to Lamar, right on Lamar approx 2mi to Matt's on the left. It's a pretty big place, so it's easy to see.

Hope to see you all VERY SOON!
