PH BMW meet 26th August- update

The first marque specific PH meet launches with BMW and M Power.

---

Bank Holidays can get a bit dull can't they? Well PH may have the solution to visiting DIY stores, family visits and being annoyed by bored children.

If you have a BMW of any age, type, two wheels or four, M powered, standard or modified you really should join us at Virginia Water on Sunday 26th August. Arriving at 11.30 we'll then go to the pub for lunch and then head back home at whatever time suits.

Sign up in the BMW forum, or on the PH calendar, and keep an eye out for other one marque meets soon.

Surrey Rolling Road have also offered us the opportunity to head down there after lunch for some dyno action, Charlie has offered us a special rate for the day of £40 per car- let me know if you would be up for that so we can get an idea of numbers. For info see www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk

PH accepts no responsibility for lack of indicator use around the VW area on the day; you know what we BMW drivers are like!

We have all been talking about what marque to start with, and as you say TVR has already been done so we'll have a go at other big marques. The largest marque currently on PH is Porsche so that will be next.

We have three events lined up over the next few weeks (general PH meets) in the North East, Midlands and North of England. Not all meets will please everyone as we are such a large group now, but we'll do our best and Ted and I do put a lot of thought into these before we announce- the 'new owners' don't have final say, Ted and I do.

More details to follow on the general meets, we think you'll like them (fingers crossed eh!)

Just phoned you Paul and left a message, its the button with the green phone icon on it to answer

[tomTVR]

Whats a 'new' owner?

[Droptheclutch]

Jeeze guys, lets play nicely, ok?

Moving right along, I'll be there with the Red E28 beastie and hopefully I'll be able to thank some of the Ph folk who have given me advice over the last two years of its ownership!

Cheers,

DTC.

That 2002 Turbo in the picture is just soooo cool! I love the mirrored '2002 turbo' graphic on the front spoiler/splitter, nice touch!

[ceriw]
