Hey - what's with the German cars on the write up of an Italian car event? Well, in short, a couple of our friends from the local Porsche club joined us on the run and their cars along with Chuck's Pantera (
disguised as a 2-door Honda Accord) were the only ones to make it. Yep. It's true. The participants met at Tucson's monthly
Cars & Coffee event. Chuck's Pantera developed a coolant leak while at Cars & Coffee and even though it was a simple fix that was completed before the run, Chuck erred on the side of caution and ran his Honda instead. The Pantera will get some more road tests around town before venturing up a mountain highway. Dave's Fiat Spider lost power 10 miles from the summit due to a failed fuel pump. So, the 2 Porsches and the Honda made it up to the
Iron Door for lunch and a pleasant drive.
