Ladies Only Drive
4rd
Annual Ladies Only Drive
Saturday,
May 30th, 2009
Did
you know that we girls can own and drive Porsche’s
just as well as the boys?
It’s just the boys usually want to hog the seat time!
The
answer to that is YES and the boys are not invited to this
drive!
Our day has come to get the seat time for the entire drive!
So
gas up your German beauty and plan for a day out with the
girls - Lunching,
Shopping and Porsche Driving - although not in that particular
order.
Although sometimes some of us forget – Porsche’s
are washable,
so we are driving rain or shine!
Mark
you calendar and plan to attend this head turning drive
that will last about
an hour before stopping for lunch followed by, of course
shopping.
Want
to attend, but are unable to drive your Porsche, let us
know and we will
give you a shotgun position with someone.
Can’t
make it for the drive, but still want to dine – Join
us!
For
location of drive and start time:
Please RSVP to Patti Door
at 248-661-4362 or email pdoor@sbcglobal.net.
