Porsche Colchester Breakfast - Sunday 31st May,
Discussion
Hi all,
Got the email through from Porsche today about the next breakfast meet, i'm sure some of you have been to the previous two and the turn out has been pretty impressive. Same again with this one, round at the service compound on the Sunday morning, 9am-Lunch, coffee and BBQ breakfast, £5 per car if you want to showcase yours, regardless of marque.
I have also heard, and will try to confirm, that Mr Paul Bailey will be bringing his hypercar trio along to this one, and the other local 918 might be brought down too. Will try and find out if this is true, will be pretty cool!
Thought some people may be up for a drive that ends at Porsche in the morning. Richard, the sales manager, is a friend of mine, and I've already suggested that if we did a run ending at the breakfast gathering, if we could have a little slot of 15 spaces or so together for us to park up in. If this is something people are interested in, let me know here and i'll see if I can confirm this! The sooner the better!
Update...
So people seem keen, plenty will undoubtedly want to head up anyway. Will work on a route with a nice central meeting place and some fun but wide/smooth roads so all cars can enjoy it and get the details up ASAP for those that fancy a drive. The list is going down the posts, if you fancy joining the drive, add yourself on and I'll update it on here. If you cant make/dont fancy the drive, you can still attend the event regardless, all Porsche are asking is a £5 donation to the Whizz Kids charity per each car that comes along.
The Route!
Start point is at the Toby Carvery in Runwell, just off the roundabouts and has a nice big carpark tucked over the back, easy to find. Address is Runwell Road, Wickford SS11 7QJ.
The route goes up via Bicknacre, Maldon, Great Totham, Tiptree, and Abberton reservoir before cutting back round to Stanway and blat up the A12 to Porsche.
If you would like a google maps link for the route, please pm me. If you cant make the start point, welcome to try and latch on along the way.
Departure time: 7.30am

I'll give Richard a shout about sorting something out then.
In terms of a pre-breakfast drive, what do people want? I know that if some people were to bring bigger, lower supercars, they struggle with some of the backroads we have made use of before (Pete's murci springs to mind!) - maybe just a central meet point and make use of some of the bigger A roads that go from Halstead to Sudbury past Paul Stephens, as an example? Still good roads, but suitable for the full range of cars..

Sounds good guys, I've contact Richard and will find out if we can get a block of spaces together, so we can present as a united Pistonheads front 
Even if you cant park in the PH slot, there is plenty of room there so no need to worry about not getting in, we'll all be there early!
Whats this new abberton road you chaps speak of?!

The new road through the reservoir James, come from Wigborough through Layer and the new road across the reservoir is a beauty - smooth, great visibility 
and just asking to be driven properly. Easily as good as Middlemead at Hanningfield Reservoir.Gassing Station | Kent & Essex | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
