Sorry Stuey, more (potential) bad news, as I may not have a guest to bring along. I am trying hard to find a replacement. Is it important that I let you know so that you have exact numbers prior to Saturday?

I have spoken to Porsche today to firm up numbers of attendees and timings etc. Porsche are expecting us to arrive between 10:30am and 11:00am.

Hopefully we will get a good turn-out and the weather will be better than the last few days, although supposed to be bad overnight.

Here is the address:
Porsche Centre Reading
Bath Road
Calcot, Reading
Berkshire, RG31 7SG

See you all tomorrow.

Stu

Well the turbo is behaving after few tweaks this week so tomorrow will be a 'test' drive to Reading. Even rinsed it off between showers this afternoon but alas it got rained on again!

See you all there in the morning

Steve

I won't be bringing a friend, but I'm sure that won't stop us enjoying the tour. It means I can turn the music up louder when driving!

Stuey, you may not have noticed that you have no number 6 on your list! So don't be expecting 11 cars when there are only 10 in the list.

Will see you guys in the morning! Unfortunately my car's getting painted next week instead so I won't be bringing it with different coloured bumpers!

My mate's going to bring me and him in his A6 instead... It's still german does that count? :lol:

I think it's fair to say we were all very impressed. The staff were generous and interesting. I was fascinated at being able to see everything in so much detail. I really got my nerd on.
