Thumbs up Contest's completed: congrats go to Jakob!!!

Help make lemonade out of lemons:
Click here to vote “Speedy” into a 3rd place finish behind RLer Boman993 (Jakob). The prize: a photo-shoot by the world Porsche headquarters, Porsche AG.

I have RLers to thank for my 993 currently being one of Porsche.com's Top 10 most popular 911s in the world.

Per Porsche's Terms & Conditions, their competition ends today (June 14) at 7 PM.
RLer 993 update: Cool Canadian RLer Boman993 (Jakob) placed 4th place in the world. AFAIK, that's the highest placement of any RLer, period!


Porsche AG's organizer wrote me, saying, "your Porsche had the best position within the TOP 10 than every other US entrant".
Amazing that RL voted 'Speedy' that high, considering the competition: the U.S. has the most Porsches, & is home to the world's largest Porsche club.

RLer drknauf (Mike)'s amazing photography graced the Top 10, with his shot of Andre Florijn's 911.

Big THANKS to everyone who participated, & to Porsche AG for a creative contest.
Best part, IMHO, was seeing all the RLers who posted their beautiful 993s. I think this "RL Social Media Experiment proof of concept" (see post #1) proved we can organize to help each other out

They shut down this runway so we could do the shoot.

If national PCA leadership thinks the voting hyperlink shouldn't be posted, just contact me & I'll gladly remove.

Should encourage getting word out quickly about new contests others may enjoy.
It's easy fun: you check out car competitions while helping fellow RLers
and probably learn more about other RLers + their rides. Simple!
