Hi...am new to PH SW...though have spent a bit of time in the Porsche forum (Yes, yes, I know...!) It's a pretty friendly place though I suspect most of them have never left the safety of the M25 so I thought I'd go local and check who is around? Any 964 owners on here?
Am based in and around Bristol...don't see many other around but maybe I'm just not looking. What I'm also not finding are Porsche specialist independents. Porschtech in Bedminster have shut down and there is Porschmode in Montpelier. Anyone know of any others?
Thanks. Ant

Hi Ant,

Cant help you with the Porsche query but just wanted to say "Welcome" from all the Bristol guys. There's loads on here but they are like badgers, they come out at night...laugh

I'm from Kingswood by the way but don't hold it against me...

Hi ant,

I can't help you with the Porsche query either but perhaps you can help me? I'm planning to import a container load of cheap knock-off premium brand trainers and will need 2-off POS displays I can use at car-boot sales. Budget is 25p. I know you'll see me right.

Cheers!

Sounds good. I do a bit of courier work for the launderette in the precinct on the Kingsway, know the garage well.

Must have a pint but promise not to laugh at my crappy old Escort estate...laugh

Thanks. Ant

Porschmode are the only ones really but I'm happy with that as they do a fantastic job on my cars not just my Porker. Welcome to Bristol. Going to pop round to Porschmode on Saturday if you are about.

We discussed it last year, & I think the year before that, we really must all meet up on a sunny weekend afternoon at the Lock n Weir in Hanham or the Riverside in Saltford, plenty of parking & just chill down by the river, maybe one day we'll actually do it!

I'm in St Annes Park by the way so again pretty close to you all...

I'm in Keynsham so either of those pubs sound good to me, or even the Lock Keeper in, er, Keynsham.
