Hi all,

I am into my first 911 C2 silver, RUF box, NVR.. yippee and looking to get involved in activities, clubs and much driving. I am new to Solihull and don't know the area well, so friendly types looking for drives out would be ideal.

cheers
Steve

Hi Steve, welcome to the forums.

You can do worse than pop along to your local TIPEC regional meeting, which I know is tomorrow night and is only about 5/6 miles away. It will be a shame that it's so close though - not much chance to drive.

Check out the regional details here : http://www.tipec.net/region_central.php

Paul Bird, the Central region's RO will surely be along soon.

Enjoy the ride.

Hi Steve

Come down to the Red Lion (Lady Lane. Earlswood) tonight for a beer and say hello if you get a chance.
Meetings are always second monday in the month at Red Lion so if you can't make it tonight please pop along some other time.

Regards

Paul

Hi Steve,

Good to meet you and your 993 (forgive my ignorance but NVR...?).

Rest assured we are not normally given to standing in freezing car parks but I at any rate was eager to see Steve's new LEDs in his 928!

Also our usual pub venue is a much more atmospheric place than the Reservoir.

Cheers,

Adrian

Great to meet you guys too again today..

Adrian, no worries, I was inspired and am thinking I will do LEDs too.. And thanks for the invite to look around your garage.. am feeling the need to go and buy tools, tools and more tools..

She does look good for her years although I gave her a rub down after the classic preservation today and noticed a few more scratches.. oh well..

Good day today again..

Steve
