Default Northern VA sharks wanted

Porsche of Tysons corner VA is hosting a Panamera rollout event this Wednesday evening from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. We are setting up a display of Porsche cars from over the decades and would like to have a 928 or two to display alongside the latest grand touring example from Porsche. If you would like to spend an evening displaying you car and chatting with a few hundred other Porsche enthusiasts please contact me via PM for details.

Thanks for the invite, Kurt. Good time. Hope I didn't bother anyone with my near burnout all the way up Tyco.... It just got rotten sitting in traffic for near 20 min!

I say I take honors for the only 928 there!! Good to chat with a couple of other 928 owners, too, even if they didn't bring their cars. Once guy needs TT bearings and another is doing a top end rebuild.

There was a lot of nice hardware there, and I do like the Panamera, too (no flames please!)

Please share some of the pictures you took from the roof. I think this one is my favorite of what I took. I finally found a Porsche that makes the 928 look small.



I liked the cheese, crab cakes and the cab. Jerome - you should have come out! I think your paint is nicer than mine and you live right up the street anyway.

............ Wow !! Don't get me wrong, but that Panamera looks like a family truckster next to your S4 !! I do like the new model..would have to be a nice Cobalt Blue with a grey int. I just looks SO BIG !I would like any Porsche if it had the PDK trans settup...love to see more pics, Kevin

I will see if I can get some more pix of the event. The ones I took were with soemone elses D-70.

Yes the Panamera looks big. It is. the back seats are limo comfortable but the overall weight of the car is not too bad. I think the outside looks like a group had a stalemate fight while designing it but it is another thing when you drive it. It handles a lot better than I expected.

Fraggle good to meet you and thanks again for bringing you car. Can't have a GT class car rollout with out an Original Porsche GT attending.
