CVR Programs

Monthly meeting – October 2019

October found CVR wrapping up another monthly program season and holding our final meeting with our friends at New Country Porsche in Greenwich.

The star of the show, the 992

Monthly meeting registration numbers have been up for 2019 and the Greenwich event was no exception. We had over 100 CVRers gather at the dealership and there were multiple reasons for that. 1) Greenwich has an awesome dealership and always has a number of fantastic Porsches to look at. 2) Greenwich always puts out one of the best dinners for a monthly meeting all year. 3) Members wanted to learn more about the 992, our topic for the evening. 4) Members wanted to see each other one last time before we head out for the holidays. Whatever the reason, we had a good crowd who was enthusiastic for the evening’s event.

New Country general manager Rui Moreira and his team had the dealership all set up and welcomed the CVRers as they arrived. Members took time to socialize and take in the dealership, which was remodeled last year and looks fantastic. They had a few select vehicles on the dealership floor for the CVRers to inspect.  This included a new 2019 silver 911 Speedster, an amazing 1955 550 Spyder formerly owned by Jerry Seinfeld, and of course, the guest of honor, the 992 cabriolet, all decked out in black with a red leather interior.

After socializing and inspection of the vehicles on display it was time for dinner and New Country always pulls out all the stops when it comes to putting on an amazing catered offering. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meals before moving on to the business meeting agenda. CVR president Phil Cappella lead us through the remaining events for the year including the upcoming 60th anniversary dinner. 2019 was certainly a busy year for CVR and it will be good to take a short breath for the holidays before jumping into 2020. We then had Rui come up and talk about happenings at the dealership.

Rui began by introducing the New Country team who worked hard to put the event together for us. Then he went on to talk about the 992. Being the eighth design change to the 911 you will of course recognize the vehicle immediately but it has a ton of new tech. The inviting interior was striking with the lack of switchgear, replaced by touch panels. Rui spoke about the introduction of the vehicle and the various iterations that are expected in the future. He then took questions from the group including questions on the new Taycan.

We concluded the meeting with some fantastic door prizes donated by New Country including goodie bags filled with Porsche items and a few new calendars. We then wished everyone safe travels home. Thanks to the New Country team for hosting our October event and we’ll look forward to seeing all the CVRers in 2020.   

Thanks, your CVR programs crew
