Nor Cal Vintage VW & Porsche Treffen 2017 | Dave Brubeck Park | Sunday, 06. August 2017

SF, you shouldn't be surprised when "real" Porsche owners like your car, it's gorgeous!

Like Mitch said a while back: "The only accessory you need is the green paint!"

I do however, love the light blue roadster, wow!

Kevin (I think), there's a large and pretty active Porsche 356 group in northern Cal at this link.

They have four chapters - the one in the bay area has a breakfast meeting the first Saturday of the month in San Mateo (info on their site).

The Sacramento chapter that I'm familiar with is a pretty good group that will let you join and pay dues even if you don't own a gen-u-wine Porshee. Like any Porshee group, most are fine, upstanding citizens who don't care if your car rusts or gets gelcoat cracks.

Of course, like in any Porshee group, there are also a few who do care. You can choose to ignore them or to piss them off by parking right next to them at the meetings.

Life is really nothing more than an endless sequence of choices, right?

Just one week away........anyone in NorCal/ Central Valley / Central Coast interested in attending?

i found an article from last year's event I thought I would post:

Hope to see/meet some of you. I'm fortunate that the event is only less than 1/4 mile away

Kevin, here's some YouTube video from last year:

I may try to make it, depending on the heat - it's a four-hour round trip through the delta.

will also be there weather permitting ,104 in Modesto today

Today was a terrific gathering of classic Porsches and Volkswagens. Real 356 Speedsters, Cabriolets, and Convertible D's definitely outnumbered their replica counterparts. 

It was also great finally meeting @Bob Hampton and his wonderful wife. It's nice putting faces to names on the forum. 

There was a very nice 2013 white VS that parked next to mine, except it left before I could meet the owner. 

I attached a few images, wish I actually paid more attention to snap a few more.

Kevin, the ivory car was me. Didn't see you around when we pulled up and kept checking back but never saw anyone around your car who looked like the owner - lots of admirers, though. Our plan was to stay for a bit, then hotfoot it back to Sacto before the heat set in. We had a great drive through the delta and were home by noon. Sorry I missed you.

I think our cars made a nice couple:

This was a great event. Bugs and Porshees as far as the eye could see:

I thought the idea of combining the two was brilliant. Besides insuring a huge turnout, it made sure this wouldn't turn into a snooty Porshee event. It felt more like a block party than a car show. The vibe, as we used to say in the latter half of the last century, was mellow:

I was at the Treffen today as well, parked at the high school and a Black VS with Fuch's parked next to me. License plate Got Me 1 2, anybody here? 

@Sacto Mitch sorry I missed you. My wife stopped over with our 2.5 y/o son, so we brought him over to the children's playground for a bit. 

This was the first time I checked out this event, which is sad, since it is just a few blocks from my house. I was surprised how many great cars and buses were present. I really enjoyed the intermingling of Porsches and VW's, and has a fun time chatting with so many. I'm hoping some of the conversations I had will sprout at least one new member; an owner of a seduction motor sports 356 coupe that is being wrapped up in the next few months. He had a number of questions that I told him were best suited to this forum. 

Perhaps next year we can have a whole row of speedster replicas at the event?  There seems to be enough Speedsters in the Bay Area and near Central Valley to pull that off. Happy to see three SOC members were able to make it. 

PS: great photo. Our cars look great together.
