So I see a lot of people generally are going to Pistonfest this weekend, but I haven't seen many from this forum (assuming that people have the PF smiley under their name).

You see I'll be there with my Cayman and would relish the opportunity to talk and talk and talk about the merits, pros & cons of it in relation to other models.

No particular adgenda, but being new to the world of Porsche ownership it'd be good to put a few faces to names, and... well... just talk Porsche b*llox with a pint in my hand

Anyone else going or will it just be me and I'll have to go over to the TVR forum and talk about "what next" things?



Pikey!
PS. Mods - please don't move this to PF forum

Yep, heading up from London for the Sunday only though. Do you know if you can get tickets for the day at the gate Ben? Will come over and say hi.

Not sure if I count as a regular, but I am going..

Happy to talk Porsche bo**ox and drink beer all day long.

I would genuinely like to look over a Cayman close up too.

That's not the plan.

She'll also be avoiding flying postcard stands ....

I MAY pop in, on Sunday, but not camping with car, which means I'll probably leave in the middle of the night. I'm flying over from germany to pick up my 993, but I'll probably park it outside the meet......

Jeremy - please introduce me to Nervous, I've seen his name a lot and seems a decent fella - I won't blame you if he turns out to be a scoundrel of the first order and simply nicks me beer and the car won't start in the morning!

Glyn! I thought you'd decided not to go, didn't see your name on the trade stands or a sticker under your name. that's why i didn't pipe up with your name when someone asked if any detailers were going to be there.

When are you travelling down? We are all meeting at Woodhall in the morning (9.45) to hoon down the M1 and meet the Midlands crew at Leicester Forest East.
