Hello my name is Bob and a i'm a recovering, hold wrong meeting.

I'm very lucky I purchased my 987s about a week or so before Hatton country world meeting which I also attended, reassured that i'd made the right choice whilst walking through the lines of the many Porsche models on display.

Whilst there I was asked if i'd like to purchase a raffle ticket by Variety the childerens charity who as I understand arranged for lots of not so fortunate childeren to have the day out at Hatton, put my hand in my pocket and purchased some tickets, yes you're in front of me now aren't you.

I won the first prize which was a RS course at the Porsche centre at Silverstone, so I thought it only right that I should sign up to this wonderful club.

I'm hoping to soak up some of the knowledge that's here and have a good laugh, and meet some like minded people.

Potterspury meeting is about 10 minutes away from me so i'm looking forward to getting to the monthly meet.

Bob

Cheers Sean.

Like most of us I never for one second even considered winning the raffle, I didn't even ask what the prize was.

My wife was chuffed just o be able to indulge in yet more retail therapy in the shops at the country park and the moblie went to tell me the news, and what in fact the prize was :D

So I think I will always be grateful as it was a great day both at Hatton and Silverston experience centre.

However going on the basis that "every silver lining has a grey cloud" the wife managed to brake the nearside sun visor as soon as we arrived at Hatton :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :(

Magic, pure magic I now desire a GT2 RS, desire and getting are two different things :lol:

Excuse the pun but it was a good "expierence" did not like the GT3 RS super heavy clutch, tough gear change, but the GT2 RS was so different, clutch was easy, gear change smooth, I need one :D
