This is Bert’s first Porsche. He’s concoursing it (that means cleaning it a lot!) and tracking it! He’ll be at Sonoma at the end of the month trying to learn something and earn himself a new personal record… go Bert!

Believe it or not there were two of these genuine 550 tributes on the lot at todays concours

There were other cars besides Boxsters… a pretty good turn out for a concours (am I saying that right ? or is there an e on that concourse) Either way - There was German entertainment too. And of course the showroom is always special at the dealer… I was glad I went - the new cars on the floor were insane

Thanks so much for posting those pictures. Very bummed I missed it this year. I'm starting to hatch a plan for the 2022 Carpoke Cars & Coffee at the Carpokes headquarters (my garage), so hopefully some of our Bay Area Carpokeans will be able to make it. At this point, I think I'm shooting for early to mid September....
