On Sunday we had 19 944s of all types turn up at Rutland Water in horrible weather, from all over the country.

I ran a 944 2.5 Lux for 6 years and loved it! Proper car.

I would love a Silver Rose. Really.

On the subject of 944's you may like to look at these for profitering, they are ex UK 944s, for sale in Malyasia,
http://www.mudah.my/Porsche+944-14035749.htm
http://www.mudah.my/Porsche+944+2+5+wide+body+unre...
The white one is 16k pounds and the red one 18K, there is also a Tyrbo for sale here
http://www.motortrader.com.my/Cars/Buying/ViewSpot...
for 19K pricec are a bit higher here.

The thing that I find interesting is that these are UK cars with UK milage and 25+ winters, last year I bought a mint locally owned 1985 944, never seen salt, and 25K miles for 9k pounds.

These cars are dealers who have bought them second hand in the UK, imported them to Malysia, which is difficult for an individua, and after 'refurbishing' them are offering them for sale, my experince from looking at a few 'refurbished' ex fleet merc's brought in from the UK is that it actually means clocked.

It wasn't a PCGB run.....;)

Was a good day, although the rain did make the drive there and back less fun than usual. Still nothing beats a group of 944s in convoy though, and I had a pie so I'm happy.

Just organised via club forum, I'd guess about half are club members. Good cross section of population, black, white, male, female, uk and foreign - not your average cligue!

I believe the expression is "don't feed the troll". wink

Blade7 seems to be on a mission to insult every club member (be that PCGB or any other club), any 944 or 968 owner, or anyone else he doesn't like. In fact he's his own little clique of one. Always welcome at any events we organise, and we look forward to him inviting us along if he ever makes an effort and organises something instead of constantly sniping at us all. beer

Not at all. Drove the car, saw some friends, didn't moan at anyone, generally had a good day. And you? whistle

Was gutted to have a puncture on the way to this - Had been really looking forward to it and to fall by the wayside (literally !)was a big shame. Plenty more opportunities for 944 gatherings throughout the year in various guises so hoping to catch up with many I missed this time round at a later date.
