This past weekend was another busy Saturday with a mostly quiet Sunday, so it’s hard to complain about that! I kinda like it when we have quiet Sundays around here….. The weekends are coming soon where those no longer exist.
Saturday started off with us joining the BMW Club on a Pennies From Heaven Rally, as part of the local fundraiser for the Guilds School that helps out special needs children & their families. There were a total of seven teams, and we managed to get third place! :D Lunch was at Red Robin with the Club.
Afterwards, we spent a couple of hours helping collect change for the same fundraiser with the Porsche Club. From there, we stopped by a local park to check out the Japanese Gardens. My Diana enjoyed the scenery. ;)
We picked up some delicious beers on the way home…. I’m working on liking more; so far I’m a huge fan of lambics!
On Sunday we headed out to an antiques show, where we made a few awesome purchases! A Gulf patch, a pack of Porsche cards that we might mount & frame and a sweet vintage Matchbox 911 Turbo.
While doing a few errands, we ran into this awesome pair of Hudson Hornets.
Finally, there were the typical Sunday Porsche Projects. We got her bra fitted, and got her replacement engine sound deadening in. :) While I didn’t necessarily want to drown out engine noise, the panel is more for aesthetic purposes for me — it’s a cleaner finish to the engine bay. Quite happy with how we managed to get it done!
And that was that! The 911 is all ready for our journey to Seattle for the weekend. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by the University of Washington’s campus on May 4th for the Red Square Car Show. And, if you plan on being there, let me know if you care to say hi! I don’t bite. ;) And my Carrera is quite pretty….. Hehe.
