Great Sunday Service, thanks PH!

[SteveM46]

Folks

This may have been done elsewhere, so apologies if I'm repeating; however, I can't see anything here on the Porsche forum. Anyway, thanks to everyone who organised the Sunday Service yesterday, and of course for everyone who turned out. My daughter and I had a great time looking at all the cars, watching the Panamera getting a work out on the skid pan, and also the racing on the circuit, whatever that was. It was good to have a closer look at Silverstone on a quiet day, and the folk from Porsche and from Adrian Flux were all really friendly and helpful.

My only disappointment was that I don't live further away, in which case I might have managed to do some of the journey in convoy! Although thanks to the two guys in an Aston and a Ferrari who both offered some sport on the way back!

Great day, I hope we do it again next year!

It was ace. I took a friend's (car mad) son, and we went in convoy with Phooey and his Masser Stradale owning buddy.
The drives down and back were proper good fun.

All three cars very evenly matched at *ahem* motorway-ish speeds

Most of this only really gets done in the events bit.

I had a great morning. Some nice cars, Pork and otherwise. Would have loved to get the spin in the GT2, but there were only 2 lucky punters an hour. Must go back there some time.

Ah, yes you're right. I don't tend to get much further than the Porsche forum, but I've just caught up with the goings on over in Events. I will look further afield next time!

I understand you got your ass whipped by a silver Spyder?

Credit where credit's due, I couldn't gain _much_ at 'motorway' speeds - and it would have taken MILES to get past. Must be the manky non-alacantara steering wheel it had

By the same token the stealth, magic sounding Maser _possibly_ had a surprise trying to ease past me. It couldn't...(although we both gave up in the end du to some meddlesome other road users who were daring to exist on OUR bit of roads at legal speeds :| )- But I know Dave knows his cars and on paper the figs are very similar so, maybe no surprise.

All great fun and love to catch up for another play - no ducking out next time

Would loved to have tagged along - unfortunately, anything on a Sunday in rugby season is pretty much a no goer for me.

However, if there's another meet at Malton before Chrimbo I may make my excuses elsewhere...
