Sorry I didn’t run into you Don or Amy.
I always like those Porsche 904's. Looked like a lot of nice cars showed up.
its a smaller show, but a good one. i was surprised how low the roof is on the 904 - it came up to my waist

Thanks for the photos! Excellent weather too.
Since The Vintage date in 2026 conflicts with our other commitments, Nick and I are considering going to Highlands. It looks like Scott, Don, and others have gone before. Is it worth considering? Did anyone enter or just go to look? I know our E9 isn't a contender.
that's a shame that they are the same weekend. i was hoping to make both of those in 2026. i will probably shoot for highlands as i have a nice place to stay at the top of satulah mountain ... and i can probably get indoor parking for the coupe.
The Vintage has a new venue and it will be April 9 thru 11. Highlands is in June. Nick has a conflict in April.
a ha ... got it

Gorgeous automobiles, thank you for sharing! The 365 GTB/4 is a halo car in my world - and a deep blue spider, no less!
BMW 320 sure meant something different in the 1930s..

@rsporsche : Is the highlands festival a reference to the Virginia Highlands neighborhood in the Atlanta area?
I went to GT and spent a lot of time listening to indie bands at The Dark Horse Tavern while I was a jazz DJ on WREK 91.1FM. Highlands Woodworking is in that area too - a fabulous craftsmen-style woodworking tool & lumber supply shop... Carlton McClendon rare woods & veneers is also located nearby.

nope, Highlands, NC. i'm familiar with Carlton McClendon and Hightlands Hardware that sold amazing woodworking tools ... they unfortunately no longer exist.
yes i used to listen to WREK as i am a huge jazz fan back to my days at Tulane and WTUL's world of jazz program - 5 days a week from 4 to 7

I was just in Highlands for a few days over NYE (my stepsister and her husband live there) and I didn't know there was a car show there. That Superamerica is spectacular.
Hey Scott - be sure to check on the road up to your mountain hideaway. We stayed at this really nice place on the top of Fire Mountain in 2023, but with the rutted road I almost lost my exhaust system a couple of times.
i've driven up the road to the top of Satulah mountain in my previous 911 and the TTS - both made it with no issue ... the road is paved.
small world I also DJ at WREK in the 90s Grew up in Vi Hi couldn't stand that festival hahah
