From the Planning Meeting

A number of ideas came up at the planning meeting on Saturday, 5 November 2016, including (but not limited to):

Baldy (date TBD)  A breakfast trip up Angeles Crest Highway to Newcomb’s Ranch instead of Mimi’s (date TBD)  Big Bear-Oak Glen, probably 23 September 2016  Overnight Tour to Monterey, possibly 30 September-1 October 2017 to go through Cholame on the anniversary of James Dean’s crash.

18-27 November 2016, LA Auto Show

The Los Angeles Auto Show comes to the Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015; admission’s $5 to $15.

The Los Angeles Auto Show has implemented a new bag policy for 2016. Bags, purses, backpacks, camera bags and diaper bags larger than 12x15x6 will NOT be allowed inside the show. Please visit laautoshow.com/bag-policy for more information.

To put that in perspective: Hermès Birkin 25 ($9,500 and up): 7.9 x 9.8 x 5.1 inches. Hermès Birkin 30 ($10,900 and up): 8.7 x 11.8 x 6.3 inches Hermès Birkin 35 ($11,900 and up): 9.8 x 13.8 x 7.1 inches Hermès Birkin 40 ($13,200 and up): 11.8 x 15.7 x 8.3 inches.

14-17 November 2016, Automobility LA In the past, the LA Auto Show was preceded by press days and VIP events. In 2016, there will be Automobility LA gathering the new automotive ecosystem…and companies that don’t exist yet.6

18 and 25 November 2016, LA Auto Show 2016 - Cars and Coffee at 7:00 AM Avoid the crowds with an early access ticket and complimentary coffee, two hours before the show opens for the general public. Discover debuts, concepts and the latest vehicles starting at 7am with your coffee in hand. Admission’s $ 10 to $ 30 and must be pre-purchased online—it’s likely to sell out.

The LA Auto Show Breakfast for Porsche Club Members is just $ 20 and way better (but sold out).

There’s not much publicity outside the hobby so it’s all “car guys” in the crowd. Check the flyer on page 29.
