For our March monthly meeting we had again ordered beautiful sunny skies and mild temperatures and it was delivered… We started the Porsche corral at 6 pm (of course on the second Tuesday) as there was still plenty of daylight. Kurtis showed off his newly converted beauty: new shoes and rims and a brand new carbon hood.
And the corral was filled with beautiful Porsches After everybody had time to order off the great menu at the Lakehouse, there was a brief introduction by yours truly, sharing a few updates, such as our first drive of the year planned for April 4th with a separate note to be sent to all PCA members by our driving coordinator Don. Tracy said a few words about Autocross too.
Overall, we had about 50 members and friends in attendance. We conducted our always popular raffle after dinner and raised $555 (thank you everyone). We raffled off many nice items purchased with the AD stipend such as cups, mugs, hats, computer bag, backpack, umbrellas, etc. We now added items from Griot’s Garage, and they are also very popular! The grand prize was a Porsche crest engraved computer bag won by Brad Luzius.
PCA members always have a great time as evidenced by this exquisite crowd.
Guards red (or as Jay Leno refers to it as “arrest-mered”) is just a beautiful color for Porsches (and of course I am not partial) as evidenced by these three late night leftover beauties in the Porsche corral.
Porsche Northlake had its Grand Opening on March 12th. They went out of their way entertaining the crowd with excellent food and drinks, live music, photo booth, and more. There was an official ribbon cutting by Mr. Mills. Mr. Mills gave a very interesting speech, talking about his success starting from very humble beginnings.
Here is the Porsche Northlake GM, Joe Romano, in front of a great Porsche specimen, a 2025 GT3RS during the Grand Opening. Surprisingly enough Joe wouldn’t accept my sticker price offer… However, who can say no to this great new Porsche Northlake sales force .
We always knew that Tim Lingerfeldt does great work at Carolina Coach Crafters, however, this almost completely hand-crafted specimen recently won accolades at the Amelia Island Concourse and is just stunning! It’s named “Traumwagen” and that is certainly no exaggeration.
Sincerely,Christian Roedlich - Lake Norman Area Director
