Porsche Run

Rennlist & Pelican Forums

Niagara Cruise

June 9, 2007

Everybody had been itching for a run for months.  A drive Niagara Falls & area seemed to be a possible, but I only had 1/2 a run.
I had gone on a run organised by PCA'er Reg Mills down to Lake Huron & some escarpment touring was the final stage.
Mark (CDN_Wolf_eh) from the Corvette forum was a resident of St Catherines for several years & knew all the roads.  So I pasted 
my 1/2 & the other 1/2 from Mark's Niagara Pkwy run.  Then I just filled in the part between them, which ended up being some
cool roads on their own.  I drove the whole route a week before to see how it was.  And it worked!

On cruise day, the weather was sunny & warm but not hot.  So, it was a perfect for a nice drive!


Clicking on pictures does the usual.

The Rendezvous
	A bevy of 911s. A great assortment of different vintages of 911s were on hand.  We had  SCs, longhoods, Carreras, a 3.6 SC transplant, a 964, several 993s & some 996s to fill the roster. We had a nice 'surprise' car too.  See below. (Photo Credits: Rennlister Cleanme)

A success?  You bet!  Great cars, great people, great weather. I think we'll just have to make it an annual event . . .
