SPECIAL MESSAGES:

We have a very special event coming up this week, on Sunday, October 2nd from 10am – 1pm. It’s the 2nd Annual Porsche vs Ferrari Concours and Car Show at Moorespeed. Event Coordinator John Brindley reports that we are sold out of our spots for judged and display cars. But, we have plenty of space for spectator parking onsite. Last year’s event drew an estimated crowd of about 250 people. We are expecting an even bigger event this year! We will have 50 judged cars in four classes: 1949-1969; 1970-1989; 1990-2009; and 2010-2022. Our display section will feature 30 more cars from both marques. 

There will be food and drinks on site in the form of Granny’s Taco truck, Apex Coffee tent, and the Infamous Brewery tent (free beer).

Watch for more event details coming out in a separate eNews tomorrow!

Registration for our Fall Cars, Coffee, and Croissants at Mozarts on October 30 is now open. Get your reserved spots now! Two seating times to choose from. This event fills up fast so don’t delay!

In The Rearview Mirror

Sept 25      Escape to the Estate Wine Tasting

We had an absolute blast this afternoon at Flat Creek Estates winery!  We packed the covered pavilion with about 55 HCR members (plus 2 from Longhorn) and enjoyed a 5-wine tasting flight, plus some excellent food selections from the onsite restaurant. The "live" music was really a treat…Kyle played some awesome classic rock tunes on his guitar. Lots of Eagles, Pink Floyd, Beatles, etc. (Yes, we walked away with a case of wine from the tasting room to stock our wine fridge). Thanks Amber and Crystal for a fun and different Sunday afternoon event with our Porsche friends!

 

Sept 24      Espressos and Exotics Car Show

Another bigger turnout at the Fall version of Espressos and Exotics, sponsored by Porsche Austin! Porsches spilled over into multiple lots after we filled our main Porsche section. Free handmade breakfast tacos from the taco truck were a big hit, plus the free coffee at the barista bar was top-notch! Besides our beloved Porsches, there was a cool old Lancia and, oh my, a Pantera GTS with a lovely, gnarly exhaust note.
