Are all the dealers having an event today? Turned up tp mine to get tires topped to find some interesting cars on display - a 991.2 gt2 rs, 911 50th and others as well as some Porsche freebies and a pretty good pizza van!

Wasnt able to get the tires done though and a few of the other porsche guests had odd ideas about parking went back to my car and a boxster had blocked 12 of us in and they had to go find the guy inside to move it

I believe so. I went down for the event and was told that if I was interested I could have a free basic inspection done.

All tyre pressures were checked and adjusted.
4 wheel alignment was also checked! And mine was due an AC service and instead of the normal price of £180, they were doing it for £99 during the event. Was told mines looking very healthy to pass the 111 check (warranty renewal in 97 days) so booked that in too.

Nice burgers and cake... can't complain, enjoyed that and seeing some really, really lovely Porsche cars!

Went to the event at Cholmondeley Castle which both I and my son really enjoyed. Saw some cars that I'd never seen before or may never see again. Really good day.

Hi there,

Couldn't make it over to Cholmondeley Castle myself but knew that the convoy from Nottingham would more or less pass my house so I nipped out with my camera.

Enjoyed shooting them as they came through.

Lots of events also on the continent. My OPC even kept my venerable 7.2 GT3 that was in for some services over the weekend to display

One of the very 1st 911's sold in the UK to the latest 911Turbo S aero pack, with 2 Manual GT3's in the middle.

My mates 65 911 is for sale if you want info let me know, it's ultra rare one of 5 RHD models I think.
