Mine is an '02 996.2 Targa in Carrera WHITE over Natural Brown. About 76K miles, 6 speed, etc. Very well kept/cared for... I am a long time PCA Member, and, fortunate to live close enough to the Monterey Car Week to attend every west coast Werks Reunion. I also have a Convertible D sitting next to the Targa....sort of a 'before and after' setup. LOVE them both (but I confess, the 356 is SO easy to work on, and the Targa is...well, sort of intimidating ) I'm in the Redwood Region of PCA, plus, 356 and 912 Registries.

I was in Santa Cruz, now, the North Bay, but still planning to go to all Monterey Werks, and all Rennsports @ Laguna Seca. If you are in the South Bay, you remember Performance Products, Parts Heaven, EASY....all gone.
CT Automotive and Don Wise are still hanging in there....I think.

I too, miss Al and Spencer and Jeff....Now, I hear that LA Dismantlers is going out of business.....That just leaves the one up by Sacramento..as the only one in California. That's just nuts. I bet there are more P-cars in CA, then the rest of the USA, combined...( I totally admit, this may be a gross miscalculation, so apologies in advance)
