Convoys... Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Mon, 3 May 2010 07:27:15 In Reply to: Re: Porche convoy, B Millar [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 1 May 2010 12:18:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Convoys are great and fun - in theory.
The problem is getting a number of folks who want to travel the SAME route, at the SAME time(s). Oh, and at the same SPEED...
I organized (with Saab's help) the caravan from Boston to Hilton Head Island for the 1998 SOC. Even with months of planning, we only had a handful of cars start off in Boston. We picked up more along the way, and Saab organized some stops for us, but I don't think we had 20 cars getting into Hilton Head on the caravan. Of course, we had an official "welcoming committee" at the SOC hotel, which was great, and I met folks who I still see at SOCs year after year.
But like I keep telling people, if you want to organize a caravan or group ride, JUST DO IT! Don't wait for someone else to do it.
Saabtoberfest started out as a few friends out for a drive, and became, in a very few years, a HUGE event with close to 100 cars, and basically scared off the original organizers because of that. And the ONLY advertising was posts to message boards.
If YOU plan it, THEY will come...
