Hi guys, I have had my 328GTS for nearly two years now and haven't really been along to any local meets. So I am trying to find out if there are any meets in the Cheshire area that I could go along to??
Thankyou! wavey

I'm in the NW also (Ferrari-less though) and haven't seen much going on up here, always stuff down south though. Bloody southerners. hehe

With a garage like yours, you could hold your own private meet anyway. Nice collection! bounce

Im a Northern lad, be it Porsche owner, but even so there is a lack or Northern meets for fellow like minded sports/supercar owners.

Where are people from, im in Leeds, maybe we could organise a day around the Midlands?

The reason there are so many meets in the south is because people who live in the south are prepared to get off their ar5es to organise them. If there is a lack of meets in your area, have a go at redressing the balance and organise one of your own.

It's not really too difficult, and half the fun is scouting out somewhere with suitable parking and a car friendly owner/landlord. Once you have your venue, pick a date and post it here on PH.

Simple.

We have planty of meets over in Yorkshire, not just Ferraris though. But there are usually a few of us that turn up with Lambo's and Ferraris.

Maybe we could make a meet that is in the middle of the North that more people could make.

Maybe somewhere at the top of the M62?



...........We could have Pistonheads Highest altitude meet!

er, have you ever thought of using the Yorkshire forum Johnny?

We have two pub meets a month, both West and East Yorkshire and plenty of things in between (there was a massive drive out on March 1st for example). It's one of the busiest regional forums on PH.

There is always the Concourse and I thought thaty See Red was an annual evemt, could be wrong though. Have you not seen the listings in the Owners Club mag?

I joined the owners club in my first year of ownership but didn't go to many events and so didn't bother joining again!

You are joking, there's about two pages full of 'em! Get joined ... then at least you get a nice window sticker to put in your other car ... well, it's a bit rubbish really, not half as good as previous years bit apparently Ferrari SpA don't like official owners, clubs being too, well, official!

Well there is that sort of club thing where you get your typical 'Friendly Man with Beard' kind! Its just not really for me!

Not only that but what do you get for your £100 membership other than a sticker?

You get the occasional red-trousered beardy, but not that many, nowhere near the amount you would at say TVR or Porsche Club meets. Are you not a member on ClubScuderia.com?

Ha Ha! I remember wanting a pair of Ferrari style red trousers when I was about 5 year old. Though they were stylish probably in the 80's!

I think I'm on clubscuderia, one of those things I set up earlier, but not been on that much. Its just not set out as well as the Pistonheads forums though.
