Update by David S. Wallens to the
Porsche 911 Carrera project car
Nov 1, 2009
The Orlando Automobile Club parks cars more or less by type. We were guided to the Porsche section.
The exotics covered most of the bases.
The high-dollar cars took the facility's center stage.
The nice fall morning helped attract a wide range of cars.
And the biggie: A bunch of people got to see some neat cars, all for free.
It’s a neat, low-key affair that’s worth a visit.
Okay, so our Porsche hasn’t been leading the most exciting life, but it’s still getting out there on a regular basis. This past Saturday we took it to the Orlando Automobile Club’s monthly [Cars & Café] (http://www.orlandoautomotiveclub.com/cars_and_cafe.html) gathering. They meet at the Route 46 Entertainment District, a group of automotive-themed restaurants and bars located in Sanford, Fla., just off I-4.
The event attracted about 150 cars covering a wide range of makes, models and budgets. While the six-figure Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches took up the center stage, the site’s parking lots were filled with a neat mix of machines, from a Sunbeam Tiger and BMW M coupe to several Mazda RX-8s, Z-cars, Porsches and BMWs.
It’s a neat, low-key affair that’s worth a visit. It’s also a good opportunity to chat with some like-minded gearheads in a quiet, relaxed setting.
