SVR’s Zone 7 Concours seemed to have something for everyone<br />
this year. Niello’s generous <strong>of</strong>fer for test drives <strong>of</strong> new <strong>Porsche</strong>s<br />
was a huge hit with our club members. The 997 with PDK transmission<br />
was the most popular car tested with the Cayman coming<br />
in a close second. New to the Concours weekend this year<br />
was a dinner on Saturday evening.<br />
To top the day <strong>of</strong>f, Niello <strong>of</strong>fered club members a 20% to 25%<br />
discount on <strong>Porsche</strong> Selection Merchandise and Jim Weber, Niello’s<br />
Service Manager, announced that in July he will be <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
a special <strong>of</strong> 50% <strong>of</strong>f labor for Air Cooled <strong>Porsche</strong>s and 20% <strong>of</strong>f<br />
parts and accessories. Not a bad way to end a wonderful day.<br />
Scheduled for the evening was a presentation by The Racers<br />
Group, but a last minute race schedule conflict kept them from<br />
our event. Everyone seemed to take the change in stride though<br />
and with 65 club members attending the dinner there was plenty<br />
to talk about.<br />
The Concours on Sunday went on without a hitch. 37 Zone<br />
members entered the Concours and a full list <strong>of</strong> award winners<br />
can be found on our Zone website. We had a beautiful display <strong>of</strong><br />
about 20 special interest <strong>Porsche</strong>s inside Niello’s service area. The<br />
cars here ranged from early 356’s and 911’s, 914’s, a factory slant<br />
nose 911 Turbo and even a few racecars.<br />
We would like to thank the many club members who helped<br />
make this event such a success and also the staff at Niello for allowing<br />
us to use their wonderful facility. If you missed the Concours<br />
this year you’ll want to be sure to make it next year as we<br />
are already planning an expanded schedule <strong>of</strong> events.<br />
