    All...after much thought and careful consideration, the weather for Saturday has a very high probability of rain (70-80%). As such, we are post-poning the Toy Drive to Saturday, December 13th. Same times, same arrangements, etc.

    It will be a beautiful day. See everyone tomorrow. Plenty of safe parking at the meeting and drop off points.

    Just to clarify. Is the Hurricane chapter of the PCA also invited to the toy drive on Dec. 13th?

    Dear Zuccmeister. Greg Owen is the real force behind this event so maybe he will weigh in, but I think the answer to PCA participation is : YOU BET!. We are grateful for your participation and the kids will thank you.

    Absolutely the PCA group is invited!! Anyone who drives a car is invited! I placed similar posts on the Lotus and BMW forums as well. I also contacted Tom Roos from PCA.

    Cheers, Greg

    I hate the chance to see all of that and to meet everyone. I committed to a benefit cruise down here so I will be out doing some positive here locally.

    BTW, I will be up in Raleigh Tuesday and Wednesday performing at the Meymandi Auditorium. Not sure if I am spending the night or driving back here but if anyone is around let me know...

    Posting pics soon! If you are staying in town overnight, I'll see if we can get a few of the local Ferrari guys together to grab a brew or two.

    At this point I am pretty sure I will drive up and spend the night. I havent decided where to stay yet but I havent looked to see where the Maymandi is either. I am debating driving the Ferrari or my truck. Truck would be more practical, but thr the Ferrari would be a lot more fun obviously.

    I should start another thread on this rather than hijacking this one..

    Thanks Patrick. Unfortunately, I already have a commitment for Wednesday evening I cannot break.

    Meymandi is on the south end of Fayetteville Street Mall though I don't think that term may be used anymore since they opened the street to vehicular traffic a few years ago. The most swank hotel within walking distance of Meymandi is the Marriott. Next down the list is the Sheraton, also within walking distance. About 2 to 3 miles away there is a relatively new Hampton Inn located in the area known as Glenwood South, where the rates are good but a longer distance.

    The circular Holiday Inn downtown is somewhat iconic and granted has some of the best views from the bar/restaurant at the top but last time I stayed there it was rather shabby.

    If you do decide to come up Tuesday evening send me a PM or post here. It would be great to meet you. If it's possible maybe we could have a drink downtown Tuesday.

    We may have been remiss here on F-Chat in failing to thank the Porsche guys and PCA members for their sensational support of the toy drive. Merry Christmas to all of you generous drivers.

    Keith...you are absolutely correct. I will send a note to Tom Roos and thank him for organizing the Porsche guys to participate.
