Re: Griots Garage Porsche Day (Sat June 1)
I must have missed you Micheal (were you the white 928 S4 sans
wing)??
Overall, saw 5 928's 81 US, 84 Euro, 89S4, and the white S4, (and
of course Jeff's 81 in the showroom).
The elusive Marc Jacobsen was there with his 89S4 (it's for sale
BTW), and ran across John (sans 928).?
Weather held except for a bit of drizzle on the way up.? I think
it was the only time I drove the speed limit out of Oly (just to
keep the wet roads from messing up the car LOL).?
Cybertruck made an appearance as did a Dakar 911 amongst many
many GT3RS and GT4 RS's, and a bunch of others (too many to be
listed).
Cheers,
Tom

Re: Griots Garage Porsche Day (Sat June 1)
Thanks for the shout out, Tom -?
I don't have the logistics of the engine swap worked out yet, so it's there with the regular drivetrain - you're not missing out on what's under the hood at all. But there are some very nice porsches on display there, and I'm pretty stoked to have it be allowed to hang out with the other cars in the showroom for a while. Looks like the weather for the weekend should be cool and cloudy, perfect for some great events over the weekend.
Jeff Evans
Caffeine and Gasoline Porsche day event at the Griots Garage store in Tacoma (S 38th St) this Saturday June 1.
I'll try to be there unless it's a downpour.? Forecast is showing some showers in the am, but it's early.
Also supposed to be German Car day at ERTC but they will call it off if there's a 40% chance of showers forecast (they usually make the call on Thursday at some point).
And a side note, Jeff Evans managed to get his 928 project (the one slated for a Maserati engine swap) into the showroom at Griots.?
So congrats Jeff and if folks are in the area, stop by and check it out.

Re: my 1989 S4 is for sale...
OK!
Now that that's outta the way...
IMHO, the auto is the GT center of the 928...5spd is more engaging, but..when you just wanna driiiiiiive a car for a day, or...3 weeks at once...auto is the way to go.?
It's up on craigslist.....
