Default XPOST: East Bay GT car get-together

I’m gauging interest in setting up a regular, casual get-together, focused on Porsche GT cars, in the East Bay of the San Francisco area.

What do you all think of the 3rd Sunday of the month, around 9am (first GTG would be July 16th)? In terms of locations, I suggest City Center in San Ramon which has good parking, easy freeway access and a good coffee shop (Philz).

Disclosure: I usually hang out in other sub-forums, mostly the 997 GT forum.

If it ever comes to the south bay I would be interested. I rarely if ever go near the east bay.

Bumping this thread. Let's aim for a GT-car focused get-together at 9am on Sunday July 16th at
which is in the eastern corner of the shopping center and has plenty of parking. All cars are welcomed of course but it'd be nice to get some GT cars together.

Hope to see some of you there this Sunday. I'll be there in a white 997.1

last bump: hope to meet some of you this Sunday 7/16 at 9am. Also, since I got feedback that the Google map I previously shared didn't load correctly for some people, the address is 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd #1609, San Ramon, CA 94583. That's the address for Philz Coffee in City Center / Bishop Ranch. It's in a less trafficked part of the center and has plenty of parking.

So odd. Someone else said the map showed a location in Illinois. Map and address renders correctly for me. Go figure

I think the screenshot loads for each user's VPN location. Currently, my VPN is Denver, so I'm getting the Chicago, IL address, but San Ramon map. Probably depends on which browser you're using and other factors as well.

Excellent turnout today!

Thanks for coming out.

Let’s make this a regular 3rd Sunday of the month event. I realize the next date August 19 is during Monterey Car Week but let’s see who can make it.

Enjoy the pics

Hi all, we will have another GT-focused get together at City Center San Ramon this Sunday, August 20th at 9am. Same place as last month's GTG - near the Philz Coffee (Address: 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd Suite 1609, San Ramon, CA 94583). If you are not tired out yet from Monterey Car Week hope to see you there. We had great turnout and good, friendly conversations last time.

Cheers,

/alex
