Das Renn Treffen 2018,
a celebration of Porsche
“Das Renn Treffen“ (German for “the race meet”) is an annual Porsche meet that claims to be “the greatest Porsche event in South Florida.” I might go further to say the greatest on the East Coast (although later I did learn that Werks Reunion is even bigger!). “DRT” as it is also known, entered its fourth-year last month, taking place on February 11 down in South Miami, Florida. Organizers were expecting around 450 Porsches to attend. I don’t know what the exact number was, but it was huge. Several streets filled with Porsches both old and new. Here are a few that stood out to me during #DRT2018.

Miatapalooza 2017
Back in 2013, not long after acquiring my own little red ’95 Miata, I attended and reported on a local Miatapalooza event, held in nearby Lakeland, Florida. Since then, I’ve gotten to meet event organizer Randy George and many of the other friendly Florida-based Mazda Miata enthusiasts, while repairing and tinkering with my own Miata along the way. This past Saturday, Miatapalooza returned to the Tampa Bay area, taking place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and I was not going to miss it.
