2009 DYPD/Happy 100th Ferry Porsche
The weather was perfect, a beautiful Fall day, for the Typ356ne’s Annual Drive Your Porsche Day event. This one was very special however, since it was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ferry Porsche. When club member Len Cannizarro found out that the 356 Registry would be recognizing the best club photos of their drives on DYPD, he put together an outstanding program of driving, eating, celebrating and lots of photographs.
In order to assure the best photographs possible, Len first turned his efforts toward finding a professional photographer. His search came to an end thanks to club member Robert McKittrick, who volunteered his daughter-in-law Natasha (Bultukhova) McKittrick, and kindly paid for her services to shoot the entire event for us. Thank you!
Len’s next job was to secure a place to have group photos taken that would correlate with the theme of the event. He found that place at Herb Chambers Porsche located in Burlington, MA. They were kind enough to allow us time to have a number of photos taken and generously opened their facility to our group serving coffee and conveniences to our members. We thank Herb Chambers Porsche.
The next order of business was putting together a great drive to celebrate the day. Len certainly met that challenge. He found the most scenic Porsche roads he could find and led the group on a top notch drive up to Bolton, MA, where the group ate lunch at Bolton Orchards. After lunch, we once again followed Len to a car show sponsored by The Littleton Rotary Club for the benefit of The Littleton Special Education Department. The show was held at Kimball Farm in Westwood, MA, where members ate some of the best homemade ice cream I’ve ever tasted, and that’s saying alot for an ice cream lover like myself.
All in all, this was one of the best events of the year and certainly one of the top DYPD we’ve ever had. THANK YOU LEN for all of your hard work and your dedication to the Typ356ne!
