Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

After buying the car of my 'boyhood' dreams a prestine black 996 Carrera 4 I happened to bump into (not literally) John in his lovely red 996 turbo, a long standing TIPEC North West region member. Unknown to me, this was to be the start of a exhilarating and eye opening journey with other Porsche enthusiasts, taking part in fabulous group runs out, events and socialising with very friendly like minded people. I was always made to feel welcome and involved especially by Andy RO and Richard ARO and want to thank them personally.
I have made many friends (Ciro, Steve, Andy, Tony and the list goes on.....). Even gone down well with my family having my name, picture of my new turbo and funny write-ups about me mentioned in the regional events/news and featuring in 'All Torque' magazine.
Already looking forward to next year, i have the track day booked at Blyton Park and a possible trip to Stuggart. HAPPY DAYS ........ what more could a boy/man and his toy possibly ask for...!!! Simon

Kind words Simon. Thanks.

D'ya fancy taking the turbo to Germany next year?

You've got to love a silver X50 turbo.

Glad you're enjoying the club.

It's TIPEC'S 20th Anniversary next year, lets go for it!
Richard help me arrange a trip to Germany.......?

Thank you for your reply Lee.
Can I ask, did you purchase your silver turbo from RSJ in Slough?

No, as a matter of fact it came from Lawton Brook one year ago tomorrow. It's my cars birthday this weekend.

How long have you had yours?

Mine is a very recent purchase, six weeks ago from RSJ.
I was talking today to Joel (managing director of RSJ) and he was telling me that he had sold a silver turbo over a year ago to someone senior in TIPEC and i though that that person was possibly you.
Sorry, I nearly forgot to say Happy Birthday (for your Porky)

Thanks, the car gets an MOT tomorrow. I nearly forgot about it.

Possibly Clive who bought his from there, he has an X50 too.

It was Clives a couple of years ago.

The Club is going to Stuttgart as part of the tour in September

Thank you Sean, I will bring it up in our next monthly meeting and try to generate some interest. Regards, Simon

Thanks for your kind words Simon. I'm glad you're enjoying the scene. It's always a pleasure to have you at meetings. I think when new people come along and see an enthusiastic bunch (ie yourself) it rubs off on others and they stick around. Looking forward to the year ahead.

Kind regards

Cayman 2.7 Gen 1 - Cracking Car (wish I'd bought it sooner)
Facelift 986 Boxster 2.7 (wish I'd sold it sooner)
2.7 944 Lux (I still miss that car)

There's something about a 2.7 going on here!

People will need to be quick with their deposits, now that All Torque has landed to the masses.
I can't wait to get the 4S on those mountain passes

Do you know how many deposits have been received for the European tour next September?

I have emailed Mark for an update, I believe 6 cars were booked before All Torque was posted out.
