Sizzle Chest Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 5/28/2015 update!!!Had some friends drive their 991 Cabriolet up to spend some time with us. It was great to have them...good times and some good friends!Went up to the top of Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Then took a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway to a little town called Spruce Pine for some lunch at a great place called The Knife & Fork. GREAT food! Farm to table. Super fresh and delicious! Headed back to the cabin for a quick wash up of the cars, chilled a bit, then we went into Little Switzerland, at the Little Switzerland Inn for dinner! Just got back and got rained on a little. Got the cars, with the help of my superb engineering skills, LOL, into the garage. Will have to waterless wash them in the morning.Doing a Porsche cruise tomorrow to some local vineyards...will update!Pics: All cleaned up!

Sizzle Chest Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 5/29/15 update: Another nice day! Had some heavy rain...but it wasn't too bad. Cleaned the car back up this morning and all is well. We went on a tour of two vineyards yesterday. Had a great time. The women really enjoyed it...us fellas were the designated drivers, so no tastings for us! Finished the day up with a nice dinner with some friends and that was that! Headed out this morning to Asheville for a brewery and distillery tour...

JLKoupe Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I love road trips and this one sounds like a real winner. And what could be better than a parking lot full of Porsches??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle Chest Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 5/30/15 update: Started out with breakfast out on the terrace...overlooking a Porsche show on the lawn! It was nice! Caravanned into Asheville. We went to the very cool and well known Grove Park Inn, built in 1913, it is spectacular! HUGE fireplaces, great terrace to have lunch on, and a very nice historic place to visit. We had a private tour setup for the antique car museum and craftsmanship shops/workshops/galleries on site. Next up we got to tour the Highlands Brewing Corp's Brewery and Troy and Son's distillery today! Very cool!!! We had about 42 cars with us this day for this trip. This was my first tour of a brewery and a distillery. It was really neat! And we got to sample the wares! LOL This was the last day of the event and we finished up the day/night with a Hawaiian Luau themed dinner! Good fun, good friends, and some good fun! Packed it in early and headed back to the cabin to clean up, pack up and get ready to head South today...we left around 0600 and got home around 730 tonight. 13.5 hours. Uneventful travel day...which is good! Total mileage for the entire trip was around 2650 miles. Not bad for our first 'big' road trip in a 'fun' car! Tomorrow has a full day of cleaning up the 911 scheduled. Thanks for following! We had a great time, and I enjoyed sharing our epic adventure with everyone! mc2hill, Black Bowtie and LFairbanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle Chest Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Had a few pro shot taken of the car when we were driving on NC80 aka The Devils Whip! www.blindkenny.com -such a great name for a photographer!-sets up on this and some surrounding roads and takes shots of the cars/bikes/etc that drive it. I love these shots! You can see the Mrs's inside pointing/smiling/etc going: Look! There's Blind Kenny! HAHA Getting these printed out and framed and they are going up into my collage of the cars I've owned on my garage wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
