ARPCA Porsche Touring Crew
The Porsche Touring ventured out to a new location on April 22nd. For our first lunch in New Castle, PA., the Crane Room was selected. The promise of better weather on a spring day and a new location appealed to many of our members. We were rewarded with a great spring day for a longer drive than most, and it was a perfect day to bring out the Porsche cars. Most everyone arrived early to spend time outside alongside the cars before going into the restaurant for lunch. We had over 30 members registered, which is one of our largest gatherings.
We had promised that we would be eating in an interesting main dining room, which has old steel girders and looks like the floor of an old steel mill. Unfortunately, the main dining area had recently been damaged in a storm. Fortunately, they actually have multiple dining areas, so we were moved to the tap room. Tap room is the typical brewery where we had the place to ourselves and could look down on the beer brewery room. Even with the change, we could still order from the regular menu and enjoy their famous food. After lunch, we were able to use the large parking lot behind the building to stage some pictures of the group and their cars.
Put our next venue on your calendar. On May 27th, we will head into a totally different atmosphere, going from a modern industrial style to a historic restaurant. The May lunch has us heading to Union Town and the Titlow Tavern. Join us for another PTC lunch.
Ahalseit!

March 25th 2025
The ARPCA Touring Crew returned to the Iron Bridge Restaurant in Mercer, PA, on Tuesday, March 25th, for an early spring lunch. The registrations were strong at over 30. However, the turnout was closer to 20. Those who attended enjoyed the unique atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there is something interesting to see. PTC started to arrive at 11:15. Even though it was early spring, we had a good collection of all types and ages of Porsche cars. It was a cloudy day, but there was no precipitation. Some members stayed outside with their jackets on while others went inside to view the interesting décor. Both groups gathered in the reserved area inside for more conversation and a typically excellent Iron Bridge lunch.
The next Touring Crew Lunch will be on April 22nd. This is a new location for us and the first in New Castle, PA. The Crane Room reminds you of an old mill galley. There is ample parking available in the rear of the building, and limited parking is available in front.
Until April Mahlzeit.
ARPCA Porsche Touring Crew – May 27th 2025
On a cloudy day turned rainy our Touring Crew descended on the fine town of Uniontown and the Titlow Tavern and Grill.
We used up all the street parking and filled the parking lot with our fine Teutonic Automobiles in many beautiful configurations!
The Titlow is a 90 some year-old hotel and restaurant which entertained the society of Uniontown Pa in its heyday. Still sporting the rustic wood interior, it is famous for gave us a look into the past.
Our waitresses got our order soon enough and served us a great Uniontown style lunch of salads, soup, burgers and fish with fries accompanying everything!
Next month the Crew travels north on June 24th to the Log Cabin Inn at. Harmony Pa.
Thank you to all who donated to the Oil Can and our charity this year, the Pittsburgh Food Bank. We’re proud to be able to support such a fine organization.
See you all next month!
