Plenty of us there all weekend to chat to about all transaxles.

I'll be there on Fri and Sat.

We are in Hall 1, very close to Ferrari Owners Club and not far from Meguairs

Another brilliant day chatting with members and the public.

An outstanding display of cars which are a credit to their owners, giving those attending a great impression of what we are all about. :thumbleft:

A big thank you to Paul Bird who pulls it all together and the guys who man the stand over the weekend :notworthy:

Someone please post some pictures :wink:

I had a great two days on the stand.

Well done to Paul and his team of merry men (and ladies)
Once again we had a good mix of cars, something that was commented on many times.

I'm not sure if one or two of the cars will have any clear coat left on them though, as the constant polishing by their proud owners was wearing it away :lol:

Something i've wanted to happen on the stand was to have a less than perfect car on the display, either a car part way through restoration or just a normal non perfect example. This year we had James' 924 Safari, which was covered in stickers and paintwork with a patina. This car probably got just as much attention as the shiny ones (if not more)

Spoke to so many people, members, non members and those just interested in one day owning a Porsche.
A Big welcome to all those who have signed up over the weekend. About 26 as of end of play yesterday.

The 924 certainly added theatre, the only part of the stand more bonkers than the car was the Giraffe :lol:

We need some pictures

The stand looked brilliant when I visited today.

This single photo doesn’t reflect the amazing condition of all the cars not ‘on safari’,, but it’s just so rare to see 928 paintwork as superb as on Colin’s car.

James took the giraffe home but sadly it met it's demise around the Oxford services junction on the M40 when the air from a passing lorry was too much for it and it let go of the roof rack :lol:

It really was a great exhibition & very interesting; well worth the visit all the way from Malta!

Came to visit the TIPEC stand on Saturday, but didn't get to meet you Sean, maybe some other time.
