Which is an excellent reminder that Luftgekuhlt 7 — the main celebration of air-cooled Porsches this year — is set for Nov. 1 in Durham, North Carolina. Organizers tell us they appreciate the enthusiastic response they have received, and that updates on tickets and car entry will be coming as plans continue to be finalized.
