Porsches converge on The Burt Collection – Sunday, October 23, 2011 to honor the Christine Neuman-Affourtit Foundation

Today was a good day, no – strike that, Sunday the 23rd of October was a great day. The sun was out – the breezes were present and a gaggle of great looking Porsches found their way to The Burt Collection.

It was all for a good cause. As is in Porsche Club fashion, an event that attracts a wide variety of Porsche’s best is usually there to support a worthy charity. Today was no different. John Affourtit was on hand to honor his deceased wife through the Christine Neuman-Affourtit Foundation. Christine died of cancer in March of 2009 and John has been a tiresless promoter of cancer awareness through her charity. We were only too happy to support this great cause by opening our doors to the Porsche Club.

Although we have a number of Porsches in the collection, the interest from the members seemed to be mostly every other make. Which proves that, despite their love of Porsche – car guys (and gals) don’t discriminate!

But the focus is on Porsches today. I took the liberty of photographing a number of the attendee’s cars and share them with you below.

 

Perfect weather for a Cabriolet

A “Viper Green” 2001 RUF Boxster 3400 – now that’s rare

A “Pre A” Coupe – Stunning

A very tidy Cabriolet basking in the sun

Ruf brakes prominently displayed

The windy city prevails – and it was a warm October breeze 

 

The front of that lovely Pre A – wonderfully preserved

How about a “paint to sample” Carrera 4 – love that color!
