Hi Guys

After months of looking I finally found the right car... 2007 Carrera S2 and my initial thoughts are that it's stunning both to look at and more importantly drive!

Looking forward to finding out when/where the local meet takes place?

Welcome, nice car.

Not too far from you at Thames Valley, we meet at the Novello on the A4 between Maidenhead and Reading 1st Tuesday of the month 7pm onwards.

Where abouts are you near Abingdon?

Hi Paul

I live in Frilford Heath just outside Abingdon, if you're a golfer you'll know it (I don't play)

I'll try and get over the Tuesday 4th meet. How many members do you have in your region and what's the turn-out at this time of year like?

Cheers
CD

Lovely area.

My Inlaws live in Letcombe Regis not far from there and my FIL plays at Frilford, I've played it a few times, very nice.

We're an informal, friendly bunch with a bit of banter and generally get around 15 people along on a Tuesday night in the winter, all sorts of different cars too from 924, 944, 964, 993, 996, 997, boxster, cayman to my soot thrower.

That's a really good turnout of members! I was a regional organiser for www.seloc.org the Lotus Owners Club and some months we'd make double figures :lol:

Sounds, see you there.
