John returns from his PCA TREFFEN with tales to tell!
PCA PORSCHE TREFFEN – 2010 —
By John MacFarlane
After attending the Escape in September I spent a couple of days in the office and then headed to Stuttgart to attend the PCA Porsche Treffen. This is a PCA function, starting each year in Stuttgart and Zuffenhausen usually at the end of April/early May and September/October. The German word Treffen is defined as “a meeting” and this certainly was a meeting of about 50 PCA members (most with spouses).
The Treffen (an official PCA event) is organized by Peter Sontag who owns Fast Lane Travel, Inc. (his company name should tell you something about the trip). While this was neither my first Treffen (third actually) nor my first time driving the Autobahn with Porsche’s (my 10th) it was the first one where the cars were pre organized through Fast Lane. All aspects of the trip, my pre Treffen 911 and all parts of the Treffen were organized to a “T”. Everything happened as and when it should throughout the official parts of the tour.
