Is everyone going to the octoberfest event this evening? I’m debating cruising down in the 914 since I missed the events this morning

There are plenty of events and goings on in the afternoon as well. Greg is playing Stump the Chump, Hans Lapine and Magnus Walker are stopping by. Lunch is served noon-ish, you'd better be hungry, and the fun run (Tour D'Orange County) will leave in time to get everyone back to the hotel by 6, so people can head up to Oktoberfest at the Phoenix Club in Orange. Rocky may have additional alignment slots available this afternoon as well. Hell, even Dr. Bob is in the hizzouse.

Had a blast meeting folks today at the event, thanks for letting a non 928 owner hang around and learn a bit about them. Always loved them and after today the bug to own one is stronger than ever.

Nice to have met Tony, Van, Bill, Dennis, Blake and RandyV (the rolling Bloody Mary bartender!), wished I could have met others too! Maybe next time.

Thanks again for letting me crash your party guys and thanks for the hospitality and friendly conversations.

Good time, great job of Precision carrying the torch, great to see so much enthusiasm in owners. I bet most of us left with some new project in mind, something new 928 to do.

Lots of good things and people to see, as critical as a good alignment is, lots of peace of mind with Rocky in house on new top line Hunter system.

Hans, Nice to meet you and your 928!


Great to finally meet Greg, Mary and the SoCal 928 crowd. Thanks to Tony and others for organizing. I’m headed back to SF Bay Area with lots with a few Greg Brown goodies for a rainy day. Thanks to Juan for finally fixing the adjustment on my sunroof. His 30 minute effort take me a whole day! Only 4 hours to go!

Thank you for everyone for the warm hospitality as always, and for also showing up.

Without so many people going to and helping to organize the event it just wouldn't be possible to make it as great as it was today.

Thank you to the Browns, Rob, Doctor, Randy and everyone else that came out today!

It was also great to have a surprise Nicole sighting

Bummed I couldn't make it yesterday. I got a last minute call to run a boat to the local islands. I see there was a great showing. There's hopefully next year!

Much thanks to Precision Motorwerks for picking up the torch and especially to Mary Brown for all her hard work to make it a success!
