Greetings from a Yank.

Greetings,
Just signed up here - this looks like a fun site, and a good way to keep tabs on what's up outside the States.

I live outside of Los Angeles, Ca. I've been involved with Porsches, and road racing, etc for a very, very long time.

Please feel free to PM me with any questions regarding cars, etc, stateside...I'm always happy to help out.

I look forward to chatting...

Cheers
Thom

Hi Thom.
Welcome to DDK.

[Bootsy]

Hi Thom, welcome aboard. I'm planning to come out to LA this year and would like to coincide it with some Porsche meet - any ideas?

The German Autofest is a MUST DO...
It's held every September at Ventura, Ca. This year's date is Sept 8-9

Read about it here:

It's a great event, at a great time of year. I do a booth there each year representing PML, which is a market letter for Porsche.

More on all this later - I'm being called away.
Cheers

Hi'a Thom great to see more US guys here.

I have not been to any events South of Ca, I hear it's dangerous so I tend to stick to Nor Cal it must be the wine

Ok...I give up...

How do you guys mount avatars here?

I feel inadequate without having the cat handy...

Thanks

Cheers

No...It ain't you, sir. Nor Cal is correct, and so is the wine. If I could afford it...I would be calling Carmel (Monterey Peninsula at the very least) my home.

So Cal is a vicious place...if it wasn't for all the car culture, and people associated with it, I wouldn't be anywhere close. As it is, the high desert is not all bad a place to call home, and have ready access to all the neat stuff that happens there...

...Nor Cal...

...So Cal...

...the high desert...

...neat stuff...

Cor blimey Riley!

It's such a shock to one's sensibilities to be exposed to such phraseology from the New World I feel I must retire to the winter garden for a G&T and a brief nap.

Hello Thom - welcome.

PS

I get the North and South thing, but what is 'the high desert'? Are there low and medium deserts too? We don't get exposed to many deserts in Cheshire
