Sorry to have missed it. Couldnt resist the drive up to the Cotswolds for a PCGB HQ open day.

Met a few other pistonheaders too - all of us had driven up from the London area.

Would be good to hook up next time.

Either way, good motoring sunday!

Cheers

Ajit.

Had a chat with the owner of the silver GT3...well actually a C2!! Really nice looking car with red 'boxter' leather, carbon fibre interior and GT3 wheels. Giveaway were the black brake calipers...but in beautiful shape and really looked the bis! A good meeting..

Don't have too many Porker pics but a couple from the run beforehand ...





Sadly, I think I must have left before you arrived with the tt ...

Careful Guys...Not much point in partial blanking of licence plates, if the two shots of the GT2 in these photo posts are of the same car!

presumably this was linked to the Kings Road flypast I witnessed around 3pm - orange Diablo 6.0 plus a 430 spider and 360

PH stickers on the Diablo which was lovely but needed the rear spoiler in orange rather than carbon fibre IMHO

Was this it?



Remember thinking the calipers didn't seem right, but the rest of it ... perfect (to my untrained eye).

Hope the hangover is well and truly behind you...I was the owner of the blue 993TT..
(with bored wife in tow!!...later, went for a walk by the lake to pacify her)
Nice car, don't worry about the parking sensors...must be nice to have them!!

Hi Guys,

I was there on the Lapis Blue GT3 looky likey, I was there quite early and the only Porsche parked up where the 944 and 968 on the far left hand side.

Loved the GT2 though, made my day.

Had fun explaining to my girlfriend all the differences between the 996 and 993, cheers guys for parking next to each other :-)

Hopefully more Porsche nest time, still really impressive Ferrari line up!

missed mine - which is for sale - and the sixties 912, representing the 'older school' then:

shameless plug over...

Hi,

You two came in after me, I did trawl round looking for other 911. But enough of that, How nice was the 912! Absolutely lovely.

I think that the 'Tunnel Run' interfered with the timing of the event. Praps next time all the Pork can be parked together at a pre-arranged time....more pics please!!

nice to meet you paul and I did notice the missus was looking a bit perplexed by it all but at least you offered a walk as a comprimise.

my missus has very little interest in my car and preferred a warm bed for the morning! oh well gives me some freedom!!

loving the TT of yours and would welcome a run in it.

nice pic of the cars but that is not even my silver GT3 look alike. has the sports seats and the lower lip (er mine cam off in switzerland when goign a bit rapido!) but very similar.

must get those calipers done or get a real one ;-)

seems like a friendly bunch but could do with some more porkers there! come on guys!!!!

So "Von genchler" have stories of your recent purchases been greatly exaggerated?
