So we hope to have some great topless models on show ;0)

Sadly no Targas, 944 Cabs or Speedsters but another great line up for our featured model meets.

With 5 of our regulars away this month and my car off the road, this could have been a disappointing meeting.
Fear not young Skywalker, The Force is strong in these parts.

at 7:15 there were just a lonely pair of Boxsters and a newbie in his 996 C4S but then they started to arrive.
Henry turned up a a stunning Black 997 Turbo cab, then a Fab Guards Red 3.2 cab, more 986's, 987's and a shiny new 981,
Then a splendid white Boxster Spyder joined the party

The guy with the new 981 had gone into OPC Reading to buy a 5 year old Cayman they had and came out with their Boxster demonstrator, he is totally smitten.

Great to meet those who came along for the first time, looks like another two will be signing up.
Thanks to Barry for bringing along a newbie and for putting up with the Rolf Harris banter, hope you didn't go home and shave off the beard :lol:

All in there were around 18/19 cars, not bad with 6 cars away :D

Very much looking forward to next months Specials night

This was a recent purchase and a first Porsche for the owner, he also had some other lovely cars, Mk1 E-Type and 1930's Aston

"Specials" sounds fun Jason.....shame our 924 needs an engine re-build and is not a road legal car, could have been up for that!

Yeah would have been good to see it.
Specials is anything other than the Std car, Turbos, GT2/3 , Club Sports, RS's, widebody variants, race or track cars or personal modifications

Hi Jason
I was hoping to attend but having spent a weekend with your 924 my cab decided it needed rear wheel bearings and the primary shaft bearing replacing so it's gone to hospital - in the warmest driest period of the year - :roll:
