Decided to bring the Panamera for a change instead of a 911, and arrived with a filthy car and a screw through a front tire.

Always up for a road trip-cars for me are for using and running-not for polishing.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The Porsche Club of America is the umbrella organization of all of the regional clubs in the US and Canada- 150,000 members. I have periodically gone to the annual events week which occurs at a different place in North America each year and has lots of Porsche corporate support.
This week was in the Poconos in Pennsylvania in a hug African-themed resort called the Kalihari which bills itself as family focused. ( the more or less rues out most of the features for me.
Decided to bring the Panamera for a change instead of a 911, and arrived with a filthy car and a screw through a front tire. Not repairable, so ordered a pair of front tires from the Porsche Dealer in Warrington PA. Had a week of gunk and pump to keep the tire usable and inflated.
Still, they had a special key for the room:
Some of the snacks looked ike they might appeal to six year olds:
But next morning looked promising:
Porsche has brought some interesting cars:
The America Convertible recently announced and featured in PH:
In the metal it looked quite nice but I would not really notice it as a special edition.
The 992 60th anniversary Sport Classic was lovely and reminded me of the original 997 Sport Classic on which it is modelled:
While they also had the one-off 996 Sport Classic which Porsch build as a reimagining of that the 996 would have been like had they built a modern Sport Classic:
Nearby was a 1955 Split window 356., two owners:

Always liked the 914. Very, very rare in UK not least because they were all LHD. 6-pot even more rare.
959 styling is to my eye gopping. Like a 911 that's been over-inflated.
Some real curiosities in amongst those photos. I guess US has been a massive market for Porsche right back from the days of Speedster and all the Porsche engined beach buggies.
So, tire full of gunk or not, it was time foe a drive on the beautiful roads in the area:
Stopped for a spot of lunch and came across this:
This was a special edition 997 GTS only for the PCA and was available only by auction to members, in a unique colour:
The strange this was that I had seen this exact car being delivered at the factory in 2015 when I was picking up my RS on the same day
pic from 2015)
By this stage I was worried that the tire was going to fail completely, so decided to head for the dealer when he called to say it had arrived. There, I had one more surprise...
Will post later.
Thanks for sharing. I think the 996 sport classic may have been a commission for PCNA? Stand out car for me. Interesting that they put a proper engine in it :-)

Yes, it was a one off commission. I understand that it will be auctioned for charity at the end of this year. A very special car indeed.
Having seen the 992 Sport Classic and the 996 Sport Classic reimagining, I had no idea that the original 997 Sport Classic was anywhere to be seen.
You can imagine my surprise when I went to the Porsche dealer to get my replacement tires in Pennsylvania when there was one sitting on the floor. I had never seen one outside of the day I came across them at factory delivery of my 7.2 RS.
What are the chances of all three models in the same week?

Thanks! Always up for a road trip-cars for me are for using and running-not for polishing. Covid cost me two years of good trips!
