Porsche Parade July 9th. Hi everyone! Please lmk asap here or by personal email (better than PM for me) if you are interested in participating in the Classic Porsche Parade of senior residences in the GTA region. There will be 4 different parades on July 9. Each one will start at one of the Porsche Centres and each will drive to 1 retirement residence. Downtown Porsche and PCNT start at 9am. Then Pfaff and PC Oakville start at 1pm. There will be a designated speaker at each location who is going to explain the 12 cars in each parade. Just a short blurb. Depending on how many cars we get signed up, we may have some cars participate in both a morning session and an afternoon session. No rain date. Again, please lmk asap if you'd like to participate. I'll be joining the 1 p.m. meet at Oakville. I'll have some commemorative Porsche 914 50th T-Shirts with me from the 2019 PCA UCR Concours for $20. |

Hi everyone! On John's invitation, I'm introducing myself and my recently purchased 1972 914 to the group. Would love to hear everyone's opinion about how to handle the fuel lines... they will need to be addressed in the not-so-distant future, and I gather there are arguments for and against replacing the plastic tubes (and hoses?) with stainless. Gord Nice looking car @gord I don't think there is any debate about replacing the fuel lines with stainless. Unless you enjoy a car-b-q, get them replaced with stainless. -Walter |

July 9 Porsche parades for seniors.
A nice day was had in support of seniors. Congrats to David and Carrie for making the Toronto Sun https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/levy...lebrate-seniors Their bumblebee was at the PCNT parade and the Oakville parade. Sad that my '73 914 was the oldest car at the Oakville parade - was hoping to see some 356s there but it was stupid hot. Thanks to Oakville Porsche Centre and PCL for the hospitality and sweet swag (2 Porsche models and a Porsche blanket). Lucas Scarfone was on hand taking photos, so hopefully some of his great pics will surface here. |

As you know, the PCAUCR CanAm weekend was cancelled along with our "24 Minutes of LeMans" parade Laps. We now have a tentative invitation to join the Trillium BMW club Sunday August 9th for parade laps of classic BMWs and Porsches during the lunch hour @12pm-1pm on Sunday August 9. The group of classics would get ~10 laps but it may be less if there is a group photo opportunity at certain corners of the track. There would be a nominal fee, which would also include lunch for the driver but there will be additional lunch cost if there are passengers in the car. Note that our members will participate in this event as individuals and NOT as PCA or UCR members. Organisers are needing to gauge interest before moving forward. Please reply to me by 8:00 p.m. Thursday night whether or not you will participate. |

Sorry everyone. Just got word that the tentatively planned August 9th parade laps with the BMW club are not happening.
Very frustrating. We'll do something yet. |

The Targa is just a sedate drive.

Registration for the SIG Targa is full with a collage of 52 Porsches. If you missed signing up I hope you still come out to RD for the open house. We'll try to slide you in to the Targa as there is bound to be a couple of no shows. Please contact me if you'd like to be on an unofficial waiting list and I'll see what I can do.
