Day Tour to Porsche 356 FOG Concours Event

February 23, 2019 @ 8:00 am

In the Porsche world of street driven rear engine production cars there are three basic groups of progression. Many of the owners concur that although technology generally gets better in each generation, much is lost in the past. Some feel the 356 was the beginning and is the true classic Porsche, others feel the introduction of the 911 though 1998, the air cooled models, ended the true 911 Series. Many find that the liquid cooled 1999 on up versions are the most drivable and offer a new comfort and performance level.

Each year the Porsche 356 Florida Owners Group (FOG) has a “Gathering of the Faithful” event.

Two years ago, 35 Porsches got together and attended the FOG event. Those who went were left with two vivid impressions. The great road tour and beautiful 356`s we viewed.

Last year we did Tour 02 to Howie-in-the-Hills to view the 356 Florida Owners Group Concours Event “The Gathering of the Faithful” It was a display the of 356 models that are among the best in the country. Rarely do you see this many 356 cars together.

This year I have planned a tour to their Concours event in Historic Downtown Lakeland on Saturday February 23. The setting will be at the Amphitheater on Lake Mirror.

Details: We will meet at Fords Garage Restaurant in Wesley Chapel at 8:00 am, with a departure at 8:30. This is across from the Outlet Mall at I-75 and SR 56. We will take a leisurely and scenic (trailer parks to strawberry fields) tour to Lakeland. After the Concours there is shopping and lunch where everyone will be on their own.

Notes: approx travel time 1 ½ hours, 60 miles.

THIS IS NOT A PCA OR SUNCOAST REGION EVENT. THERE IS NO INSURANCE PROVIDED.
