I drove 40 miles each way for a breakfast buffe
t that had three culinarily challenged items, but that was not really why I went. I have been a Porsche Club (PCA) member for a couple of years now, and since I attended my first breakfast meeting, I have been hooked on them. We had some political upheaval in the LA Chapter of the PCA recently. Politics and Porsches go hand in hand. So after many of us resigned from the LA Chapter board, I thought going to a different region’s breakfast would be fun. Too bad the region is in Long Beach. Too bad the breakfast is in Seal Beach. Our normal LA breakfast is in Santa Monica, which is a lot closer and easier to get to. The 912 is not ready to go that distance. Or at least I am not ready to drive it that distance just yet, as the oil leak needs to be addressed. So I took my Cayman GTS to the event. Along the way, the Cayman passed 10,000 miles. I would say they have been the best 10,000 miles I have ever driven, except that when I purchased the car, it already had 2,500 miles on it. So I can say they have been the best 7.500 miles I have ever driven. The 40 miles each way to the breakfast were no exception.
I didn’t expect to know anyone at the event, but that is not an issue. Driving up to a Porsche Club event in a Porsche makes breaking the ice incredibly easy. So I went. This region does a nice thing. Every month it puts the sam
e type of cars near each other in the lot and takes lots of pictures of them and their owners. This month was Boxster month. They looked great all lined up in front of the restaurant.
I had a great time and met several new and interesting people. I am looking forward to going to more, though I may eat a bit before I go next time.
