Letting the side down

[pete s]

Hello.

Newcomer, here.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to attending PistonFest & meeting a few of you on Saturday night. Cars & beer. Without the kids. Oh yes.

I can't help noticing, though, that every single one of you appears to have a far-from-ordinary vehicle to park next to your tent. (OK, fair enough, this is PistonHeads, but did I see a DB9 somewhere?) 'Got to say I'm a touch concerned I'm going to be lowering the automotive tone somewhat in a Chrysler kid-transporter.

There's no, you know, minimum entry standard, is there?

Pete.

Ticket, tent and beer.

See you tomorrow!

If their was some minimum car stanards I bet half the people going would be stuck outside the gates.

Dont be silly, I started on PH with a Clio, doesnt make much difference to how people get along depending on your car

[Matt_T16]

I've got an old Saab with a slipping clutch that was ping out brake fluid all over my drive earlier. I'm still going in that

In all seriousness though IMHO PH is a state of mind, its not what you drive its what you'd like to drive. So unless you aspire to a Vectra (of the non-BTCC variety) then you'll fit in just fine. See you at the beer tent.

Yep, it doesn't matter what you drive.......from a bicycle to a Bentley, it’s the common enthusiasm for cars (and drink!) that counts.

See you there

OK, so who's got the bicycle?

Nice one Warren

Pete, it's the diversity of cars with a common enthusiasm that makes PH what it is. It's not a one make car club. The welcome you receive will be the same as everyone else. Look forward to seeing you later!

I could leave the DB9 at home and bring the beamer if you want ?

I have cajoled my kid brother into joining me at PF on Saturday. He's a former TopGear website car reviewer, but he gave that job up to move to the RadioTimes site. This is, of course, a source of great mirth in my family. If he finds out that you didn't bring your DB9 because of something I said, he will finally have a response to all my snide RadioTimes comments, and that cannot be allowed.
Also, if you don't bring it, I may cry.
See you Saturday
Pete.

oi. I'm the kid brother - stop making jokes about my move to Radio Times.

See you in your bus tomorrow.

Leave my bike out of this.

He won't answer you, he's been cycling since wednesday to get there!
