Right guys some of us have been chatting on this forum about swapping passenger rides for scientific comparison. The time is now!

I propose we do something west of London (Berkshire ish) that way no one should have to travel more 100 miles each way.

I don't know where we should hold such an event, us country bumpkins and Essex boys should bow to local knowledge.

However, I suggest sunday 22nd september whilst the sunshine is still here (snigger). Does anyone second this motion or have a problem with this date.

Ideas for location and relevent tunnels for the Tifosi and TreVoR boys?

DAZ

PS - Although aimed at the PHers who've been mouthing off at each other on the Ferrari and Porsche boards, all are welcome particularly if you bring exotica for us all to drool over and ogle at, such as Ultimas Masers and TreVoRs etc.

Hi guys.

Might be a good idea to invade the Virginia Water meet (wherever that is).

Also means we don't have to argue over pubs and meeting points etc, only work out where the tunnels are? Manu, you mentioned you were local?

Hi Guys

this all seems to be coming together nicely for sunday 22nd september.

Manu, starting from your premises seems a good idea.

Steve is working on a route and I'm sure Manu knows a few tunnels. If our route could take in the Virginia Water meet for a while and meet some other PHers that would be great.

Just need to goad everyone on the Porsche and Ferrari boards into attending.

A few things outstanding:

1. Where is Manu's business premises and what time do we want to get there and then what time do we wish to leave there. I'll leave that for the local boys to discuss.

2. Rich, what side are you batting?

3. Do we need to book a table at a pub for a bite to eat. If so we'll need to know exact numbers.

If we can keep general planning and discussion on this thread, I'll now post a thread on the Ferrari board for definite attendees to state their confirmation with details of vehicle (get thinking Rich!)

cheers

PS Ninja, not biting.......PORSCHE RULES!!!

I had a Lotus Carlton meet planned (show 'em my new toy) but may come along to this instead, as Manu loves my exhaust note so much.

10.30 at Manu's I presume?

Cheers

Yes, looks like 10.30 at Manu & Ajay's business premises. Are you going to press gang Scottster into joing us so we have full representation of the Wycombe Massive?

So let me get this straight, you want a go in my 911, as if by magic a proposed Fezza Porker meet appears and you can't make it. Go on ninja get the cheque book out, reward one of your hard working members of staff for working on their day off.

Bribery?

Not 100% sure if I can make it - but if I can I'll bring the Noble along (assuming it's welcome with such lovely company )



Damn right it is. The more exotica the better.

Guys, whats actually happening at Virginia Waters.... Will we go there in a massive PH convoy?

Also - we NEED some good roads - and to be honest I don't know any. To prevent, erm..... "Lurkers".... it will suffice to say that someome DOES know some good roads as opposed to mentioning online... if you know what I mean.

Let's get this sorted before Sunday....



Convoy to Virginia Waters seems roughly the plan.

As for a more spirited run, I'll have to rely on the locals to make the plans, being the southwest bumpkin you understand! Definitely not for talking about on the web.

A little concerned about videoing on road activities.

Dom, Guy and Andrew.

I'll be going to Egham from Bristol (M4), if running on time I'll blast past Marlow and see you at the car park off the M40 for 10am sharp.

Not sure if I can make the Wycombe gathering but will try !!



Wycombe is just an on route meeting point for the "gentle drive" to Scuderia Systems in Egham for 10.30am. We'll then be moving onto the Virginia Water PH meet.

Bit of a cheeky one - I was meant to be coming down with Ninja but he might not be able to make it.

If I meet you at Manu's (in my GFs Clio!) is there any spare seats in a nice car I could pinch a ride in?

I will repay your kindness with a pie and a pint!!



I'll be there with an empty passenger seat. Just bring your G-force suit and oxygen mask, for the flight.

DAZ

Hey Ninja!!!!!!

Not got the dirt on your brother yet to blackmail him into working on sunday? Sort it out mate, at least give bribery a chance.

Guys,
Iam now hoping to make the pre meet at Manu's,but as Mrs.B is not to well at the moment not sure if, 1)I will
get to Egham on time or, 2) How I am going to get both cars to V.Water(!) is she is still unwell on Sunday.
Steve



Hey Steve.

If Mrs B isn't going to V.Water you have to bring the flat nose, porsche will be vastly under represented at this event and there'll be loads of TVRs anyway. I know the griff is your new baby but the flatnose would certainly add more spice to the car park (motorshow).

just my thoughts.

I still cant decide what to bring.

help me out guys


Although it would be great to have another 996tt present, with ninja possibly not joining us it would be a great loss to "the event" for the 355 spider not to be represented. In the same way it's important for steve to bring the porsche flatnose in preference to the griff, if his wife doesn't attend.

Sorry guys as you can guess I cant make it today.

Some scroat has been attempting entry to my flat last night and I dont feel comfortable leaving it.



Sorry to hear that Rich.

I don't know your situation but from previous posts you park your cars outside? I guess you need to get a property with a double garage. It's got to be some scrote trying to break in to get the car keys, or thinking "if he's got two cars like that his flat must be crammed with laptops, dvd players, videos and everything else that I can sell for a tenner at the pub."

Sorry mate, but it's a sick country where you can't buy nice things from tax paid money. Where our government are more interested in stopping people killing fluffy disease spreading vermin in a traditional manner, than bringing the death sentence back for drug dealers and paedophiles.
