Sept 19th "Drive your 356 Day" N.W. version

Sept 19th is Ferry Porsche's birthday and in the upper end of the N.W. (better known as B.C.) there is a "Drive your 356 Day" event that will cruise to brunch at the famous Harrison Hot Springs Resort. All 356's including replicas are welcome. After brunch we can view the World Championship Sand Castle competition (optional) enjoy Harrison village and lakefront then take a back road cruise over to Chilliwack for some refreshments at our acreage before heading home. Anyone interested in participating can reach me off line for contact info regarding the gathering spot for the drive to Harrison.

How many are signed up so far Rick?

Hey Ron,
Dave Bambridge is organizing the drive and we are helping out on the post brunch hospitality. You can contact him at cidalina@direct.ca for information on departure place and time. I have no idea how many he expects but it should be great with any number. Henry is pumped on it. The Harrison Hotel is a very nice destination and are famous for their Sunday Brunch.
Rick

Ron L, Bruce and others,
Any interest in attending this event? Looks like a decent weekend approaches and the group will leave Aldergrove Lake Park by 10AM on Sunday heading to Harrison via Cultus Lake (where I'll join in). Henry is doing the drive so you might want to team up with him.

Ron,
If you leave Van around 11am, drive straight to the Harrison Hotel as we'll be there before noon. I'll send you my cell of line.

Here are some pics from our Sept 19th drive.
We had 7 cars of which I had the only replica. Darrien had his new '53 Outlaw and Gerry Sung brought out is beautiful restored Speedster, Harry Geddes drove is '58 Meissen Blue Cab plus two A coupes and a B Roadster rounded out the group. Fabulous back road touring, great bunch at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel and some suds back at our place made for a fine Drive your 356 Day.

Great photos Rick - you don't happen to have any more of the '53 Outlaw - are they wide 16 inch wheels on it?

Rick,

Nice pics, nice garage, nice lawn, nice old Farmall. I hope the Farmall is the lawn mowing machine! That is one big lawn! See you in Grants Pass in 10 days. The long range weather looks delux. Lows in the 50's and hi's in the 80's with plentiful sunshine. Jet stream is over So. Canada for the period so we should be aces!

Bruce

Cam,
Check Photos section - dman550 - for Darriens own pics. You might e-mail him for more details.
Bruce,
The Farmall is a studio prop but a Deere keeps the lawn cut. A week from this Friday we head south for SOT.....getting anxious.
Today is the first official day of Fall and the forcast looks like fair weather is ahead!
