Hey, I'm back in Leicester for the weekend and one of the things I like to do is take advantage of leaving the London traffic behind!

I was wondering whether anyone fancies a meet up - I will be in my SL55 or 997 turbo, and more than likely will have either my cousin driving my other car, and a couple of friends in an M5 and 458 italia...

Anyone with any interesting metal fancy coming along? We're in the Syston area if that helps.

Sounds good, fingers crossed the rain holds out.. I notice you have an AMG - I'm yet to drive one that's any use in the wet!

Amazing car smile

That's why I prefer to drive it in the dry!

What's the plan if the meet goes ahead?

How about around lunch time? Gate hangs well is just down the road from me so sounds good!

TVR's most welcome - just want to avoid loud exhaust corsas etc!

Sounds good to me - what are you classing as lunch time?
Will only turn up if the weathers good.
Looking forward to meeting some like minded p/h's and seeing some nice cars.

Sounds good, especially looking forward to the 968 - fond memories of my old car..... Let's hope the weather holds out as most cars mentioned here aren't much fun in the wet!

Guys, weather looks cloudy but dry and warm as it stands - everyone still up for it?

12.30 ok for everyone?

Shame that's the level of interest. Never mind. Better things to do than talk to myself in a pub car park. See you another time.....perhaps

Well me and my cousin are planning to go there for 12.30 in My SL55 and 997 turbo with a friend in an M5 and I was hoping the others would turn up since they said provided it's ok weather, which it is!

It's only down the road from me anyway, but you're welcome to pop along anyway!

Was looking forward to seeing the SLS and a few TVR's too :-(

Dude, would've loved to turn up to this as it's not too far for me but my car's got a cooling issue and although I love my car, don't think it would be quick enough in the company of cars you mentioned smile

It's actually a nice warm day, already saw a canary yellow Ferrari California and a Porsche cabrio when I was walking around this morning in Leicester.

Nevertheless, I hope it was a top drive mate!

Just logged on for the first time in a few weeks, looks like I just missed out!

If anyone is up for anything 4pm onwards today after the F1 let me know, just had supersports fitted on the back and want to try out my new shoes!!

Sorry I couldn't make this one, I had a more pressing matter to resolve.
Maybe next time.

Nobody from PH came but we had a nice blast out smile

Discovered, much to my surprise, that the (tuned) SL55 is still slower than the standard 997 turbo though!
