My next challenge is to convince Magnus that he really should let us loose in his garage for a drive up the ACH the day afterwards... Ha well you guys twisted my rubber arm.

DHE11 Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 My paint has been delayed by several weeks of rain in LA ! You know what is like trying to predict timelines on overseas project builds..... I’m still interested in catching up if it lines up, what is the lastest version of your planned schedule? Were you also planing to get to the big PCA/POC race meet on that weekend ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KG Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 I've just booked my tickets for the Sunday. I already planned on doing Angeles crest on the Saturday with a buddy over there. He just picked up a DEA auctioned 2015 Corvette that that will be interesting to put through its paces, might need to "Turo" a Porsche though to keep it interesting. Are the PFA guys that are going planning on meeting up at some stage. I don't believe I've met you guys (as most seem to be Sydney based) Let me know if there is an event that would be good to meet at. I'm unsure of what to do on the Friday night, but I looks like you've got a few options. Do you know if Deus are doing something? They also came recommended.

KG Posted 26March, 2018 Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 @Coastr Yep, I'm based in Melbourne. I'll reach out on this thread the week before and see who's doing what, and interested to meet up. Peterson Museum exhibition looks fantastic! I could possibly check it out on the Friday afternoon before heading out and about... https://www.petersen.org/porscheeffect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACH in the planning but thinking of organizing a meetup at the hotel we are staying at (ACE HOTEL) early Sat morning and driving out from there. Its in DTLA and from memory not too far from the start of the ACH. Will post when I have figured things out KG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozvino Posted 26March, 2018 Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 The Peterson is sensational - awesome cars, awesome architecture, allow 2 to 3 hours minimum. If you are going to a social event it wont be easy to see the place, so go earlier or on an alternate day if you can. Also make sure you do the basement tour, its guided and pretty interesting. The gift shop is excellent - they have some really good automotive books. If you drive make sure you park at the Peterson, they have a big multi level lot and the area is a little shitty.

generalsmirnov Posted 26March, 2018 Report Share Posted 26March, 2018 Hey everyone, I've also booked my tickets for Luftgekühlt 5! I won't be flying till the Sat morning then out Sunday night. Quick stopover on the way to JFK. Look forward to seeing you all there. Really wish the Singer visit was the Saturday not the Friday... :-( Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Turo short list for the ACH on Saturday is down to: 997 Turbo (manual) R8 V10+ 991 GT3 Spoiled for choice really. Is anyone else looking to pick up a toy?

Coastr Posted 29March, 2018 Report Share Posted 29March, 2018 The Peterson 964 event is some type of party, no? I recall the ticket saying 21 and over only, which means beer in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 30March, 2018 Report Share Posted 30March, 2018 There is no age limit on having weapons in the USA. You can buy a gun at 18 but not a beer. ‘It’s in the constitution, son’. (Simpsons reference for those who get it) prettty sure you can carry in CA but much harder to get approval than most other states. /end threaddrift anway the Peterson thing better have adult beverages - 964s are great and all, but looking at them for too many hours requires refreshmebt turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG Posted 30March, 2018 Report Share Posted 30March, 2018 Good point. I just checked and there is a restaurant open till 6pm. Hopefully there is some kind of dipensary. What time is this event starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozvino Posted 30March, 2018 Report Share Posted 30March, 2018 You can get a concealed carry in California but its not as easy as other states - no open carry in California. Texas has open carry once you do a 2 hour course Peterson has eateries - you also have Farmers market less than a mile from the museum and its surrounded by food stuff KG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
