Some photos from the Heartland Rendezvous back in June. Very nice time there. Great 356 meeting!

Kind of a funky photo I took at night under the parking lot lights at the Heartland Rendezvous hotel. Cell phone cameras do some strange things. No photoshop or processing, just the way it came out. Nice A coupe!

Per my message below, just because I have not been posting doesn't mean Zia 356 isn't active. The virus stuff slowed us down a little. Regular meetings were ended for a while. But a bunch of us continued to meet every saturday (and nobody got sick and died!!) regardless. The oil still got changed. Brakes still got adjusted. And 356's continued to happily zip around the mountains and deserts of New Mexico. Now back to, more or less, normal. Breakfast last saturady in Santa Fe. Planning several more drives for this summer and fall. Joint meet with the Arizona Outlaws at Silver City coming up in October. Come and join us!

Been a long time since I posted an update. Been busy, but mostly its just because social media in general, and facebook in particular, is pretty stupid. We are car guys. Real people. We need to be out in the shop. Blazing down twisty roads. Or just hanging out with each other for real. Sigh.....but here we are in the "modern" world, so I guess I'll put up a few new posts tonight. The picture below is NOT a 356. Belongs to a zia 356 friend. I went to Texas and drove it home for him early this year. 650 miles in a 918. It is fast. Very fast. Insanely fast. And actually pretty nice to drive. More comfortable and functional than I expected. But, all things considered, I'd honestly rather travel in a 356. The 918 does too much for you. I felt too insulated. Dammit, I want to change my own gears and crank the windows down with my arm.

Some Zia 356 fun this weekend. Bill's birthday. He turned 90. But what to do in the middle of these virus restrictions? Zia 356'ers organized a surprise visit. Lined up a few blocks away then caravaned to bills house with tooting horns and revving engines. Bill came out to see what the commotion was about. Patty brought birthday cupcakes. Good time had by all. Happy Birthday Bill!

Been too long since I added any new photos to this page. Zia 356 trip last weekend to Taos Ski Valley. Beautiful late summer weekend. Warm in the desert. Cool in the mountains. Good time had by all!!!

More photos from the Outlaws drive yesterday. Weather cooperated nicely. Cool morning, warm afternoon. Roads clear. Zero traffic! Only had to pass 2 non-Porsches uphill on 191, and they both moved over promptly and politely. Arizonians are friendly folks! Thanks to our Arizona Outlaw friends for a great weekend.

Zia 356'ers are on the road to Arizona Outlaws drive this weekend. Started out pretty nice. Springtime in the southwest though, you never know. Weather turned just a little cooler!
