The Museum of Flying at the Santa Monica Airport is headed up by its curator and designer, Dan Ryan who seems to have a great sense of "Man and his Machine". The Museum holds many events outside the aviation realm including the Annual Porsche Club of America Grand Concours, which literally takes over the whole premises. We were there with the 64 Ivory White over Red 356 and I threw out the "Moving Blanket" in front, strategically parked (getting there very early for an optimum spot), and setting up Z911Partsstore, Beach Blanket style!
Jerry Seinfeld and the "Usual Suspects" showed up making the day even that much more apparent to the pure appeal of the Porsche art form. Brianna Becker, PCA's LA Region President, pulled off a spectacular job! Great vendors, great food trucks, great events and contests! The California sun pierced through the clouds and by the end of the day, we were "talked out" and looked like lobsters but it was well worth it..
Peoples Choice went to an Aubergine early 911 that was off the charts. The machine was near flawless and the color, the color! Enjoy the pictures!

“The Friends of Steve McQueen Car & Motorcycle Show 2016”
It was Friday night around 8:30 pm, browsing around instagram, and I noticed a car show flyer and it was in Southern California. Woke up early, rinsed the Porsche, and took off toward Chino Hills, CA. Upon arrival the sun was out and on full blast, clear beautiful cali skies. The event was located in Chino Hills at the Boys Republic. Boys Republic is an all boys school for troubled adolescents, McQueen attended when he was younger. The event is geared toward helping the Boys Republic, as a charity event was set up with a beautiful 911BR collaboration between Bisimoto and McKenna Porsche. This years theme for the event was "The Gateway", many fans of the movie also brought of their trucks that represent the movie so well.
