SOCIAL EVENTS Photo courtesy Porsche Cars Ltd.

U CR’s Socials are designed to warmly welcome all club members, new and existing, and to help our members get involved. Photo courtesy of Pfaff Porsche
As the saying goes, “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people!” At each Social, you can meet many like-minded Porsche owners
who are just as passionate about their cars as you are, perhaps more so! Socials generally start at 6:30pm, but some
members like to get there earlier. The Golf Club Socials usually start at 7pm. We have elegant sit-down dinners and interesting
after-dinner speakers. Please check Provinz and UCR’s website for the latest information. If you know someone who may be of
interest to our members as a speaker, please let us know. And if you have any other comments or suggestions regarding UCR’s
Socials, let us know that too. You can talk to us at an upcoming Social. Registration: UCR members and guests must register for
socials via www.ClubRegistration.net . The cut-off for registration is 11pm on the Sunday before each event. When registering,
please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions and if you are a new member or first-time Social attendee. Register early, as
the number of attendees is essential for catering purposes. Using ClubReg is quite easy, but if you’d prefer to follow step-by-step
instructions, please see: www.pcaucr.org/how-to-register/. If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected]

ahead of schedule so we dropped the roof and headed
out to Peggy’s Cove for the day. Peggy’s Cove is a small
rural fishing community and site of the Peggy’s Point
Lighthouse. The large boulders that make up the
coastline are really impressive and fun to explore.

The next day we headed out to Cape Breton Island.
We decided to take the scenic route along the Eastern
Shore on our way to the Cabot Trail. The Cabot
Trail winds through stunning landscapes through
the rugged highlands of the Cape Breton Highlands
National Park.

The weather was hot and sunny and the drive was
fabulous with lots of impressive views of the Atlantic
Ocean. On our way we stopped in Guysborough and
headed to Authentic Seacoast Distillery and Brewery.

moment, he was infatuated and it would be “Porsches or continued on page 32...
Nothing!” from then on.

Nadim’s model preference has always been the 911.
According to him they are “built a certain way. It’s just you
and the car.” The dream of owning a Turbo was a deeply
rooted desire. However as life goes, dreams can sometime
take time to reach fruition. For a variety of reasons, the
Turbo was never quite justifiable and not quite in the
budget.

Then a sharp looking triple-black, 1987 911 Carrera Cab
came his way. He loved its classic looks. Its smell, its sound
and he was sold. He joined the UCR shortly after the
purchase and never looked back. That was 20 years ago and
Nadim admits that, he’s “…never got sick of it and every
drive was as good as the first time I took her out.”

Driven seasonal and always babied, the Carrera became
an integral part of his family’s life. So much so that in
