afternoon all
been trying to organise a south wales Porsche meet and thought I'd post up the details here too
so far all that's been agreed is we'd try and sort out a meet / drive every last Wednesday of the month
this is the 1st attempt at that today so fair only a handful of cars but its a start

tonight we are meeting at the storey arms carpark in Brecon beacons on the a470 and going for a drive around the beacons

I'm sorry its a bit last minute but is anyone interested?

if the OPC in Wales have anything to do with this, your lucky to have this many cars
just been talking to another long established customer of theirs, they too were promised an RS, but the five cars they had went to their preferred bum-lickers....
two cars went out of Wales (bigger bum-lickers further afield I guess)

OK MATE. We all get it, you definitely, absolutely had the money to buy a GT3 RS but you didn't get one. There is plenty more in your position, and they manage to restrain themselves from hijacking every thread to bash their local OPC. I know 2 of the 5 that are getting them and can promise you they are massive Porsche people, and that does not just mean that they have money, it means they are well and truly faithful to Porsche, they have paid their due's and are now getting their finest produce, it is how it works.

I may be up for it, although you may not invite me as I am one of the "bum lickers" that his "Lordship" referred too

We are in Wales in August. Do you have any recommendation for good roads? We will be starting at the Severn crossing, heading to the Brecons and up to Snowdonia before returning home.

And there in a nutshell is why these forums are rarely worth bothering with any more. Someone is trying to get something off the ground which could be of interest to folk in that part of the world and you denigrate it because no-one is rising to the bait of your OPC induced teddy throwing. Pretty sure the first ever PH meet wasn't too heavily attended either.

lads we are all Porsche fans / fanatics I'd love to have more cars and more variety of porsches there and quite frankly don't care about the politics of the forums

yes it was only 3 cars but hopefully we'll get more next time

Totally agree. Hope that that the number grows exponentially over the next few months.

Love Wales, really do! Problem is I am in Berkshire and it takes a good while to get there so an evening meet is a non starter for me frown

There is no need to be so bitter and rude!
