-- sponsored by our friends at Park Place
Porsche – we are now averaging nearly 120
cars a month, and are excited to announce
another new monthly event for you to attend.
Starting in March we will kick off our newest
event: Motoring Mavs at Mayo, sponsored by Mayo
Performance. This event will be held every third
Saturday of the month, and starting time will be 9:11
am at Mayo Performance in Euless.
Now you might wonder what the difference is
between M & M and Motoring Mavs at Mayo. Well, M &
M is held the second Saturday of the month and varies
on location,
typically
moving East
and West in
the Metroplex.
Motoring Mavs
at Mayo will
be the third
Saturday of the
month, and will
always be at the
garage. As Ed says, “we see this event focused around
shop talk.” More information can be found at http://
mav.pca.org/go/mmm. In addition, an online store
has been created specifically to allow you to purchase
merchandise with the MMaM logo. You can browse and
order those items at www.zazzle.com/motoring_mavs.
So there you have it. If you have been disappointed
in not being able to attend Mavs & Mochas, you now
have another option to get your coffee fix and enjoy
even more great Porsches. We look forward to seeing
you there, and thank Mayo Performance for their
partnership in this new monthly event!
