hWinter-80ResolutionWhat is NER’s Annual Spring Ramble, aside from the obvious; 130+ Porsches (some Ramblers do drive vehicles other than Porsches), good friends, good food and a weekend at a top-notch resort hotel? You’ll arrive Friday (or earlier at our low rate) on your own, meet up with other early arrivers if you’re one, and begin your social and partying activities. On Friday between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM will be our wine reception with munchies. Then we’ll all convene at 7:00 AM on Saturday in the Crystal Ballroom for registration, a Continental Break fast, drivers’ meeting and be on the road by 8:45 AM heading to our lunch stop via scenic back roads in NH. Following that respite we’ll follow an equally fun, back roads return to the Mountain View Grand, or if you prefer to get back sooner to begin your partying, massage, hike or whatever simply take the direct route that we’ll supply.

For you first timers – a hearty welcome. Your registration packet will include a detailed route to and from our lunch stop (excellent buffet at The Fireside Inn) that Joyce and I have travelled many times revising and correcting. Unlike most other group tours, we drive on our own (not in lock-step with a leader) though usually in pods. Stop at an antique shop or photo op when you want and pick up the next pod coming down the road. Don’t like the pod you’re in, pull off and join the next pod.

At 6:00 PM we’ll meet for cocktails and hors d’ouvres followed by a plated dinner and more socializing on your own after dinner. Sunday morning is a full, hot, buffet breakfast after which you’re on your own again to head home or stay longer and enjoy the resort.

We’re again sponsored by the good guys at European Performance Engineering in Natick, MA – 508.651.1316; give them a call for anything from an oil change to a full street to track conversion.
