Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Porscheshop are holding an open day this Saturday - http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/newsletters/mar09/

This runs from about 11am until 4pm and should be a good run out. They are an excellent wholesaler of all things Porsche, regardless of age, or model of car - or even colour. So if you drive a slow colour (white) or a fast colour (red), it doesn't matter.

Meeting points and timings are as follows:

MEET AT
09:45 Tamworth Services, M42, J10 Post code B77 5PS (East Midlands)
10:00 Warwick Service North, M42, J12-13 Post code CV35 0AA (Southern regions)
10:30 Hopwood Services, M42, J2 Post code B48 7AU
11:00 Porscheshop, Post code B63 3XB

Other regions will be in attendance too - see you there.

I should be there when you arrive Weather forecast is good unlike the last one at Porscheshop

Paul

see you at tamworth !!!

Day started well and there was plenty of sunshine at Porcheshop. Nice to enjoy being outside and chatting around the cars as well as catching up with friends.

Had to head off early for the Footie and the day went downhill from there. A draw wasn't enough and we left the Hawthorns a bit down. Got back to the car and the day was completed as a chap has reversed his 4WD into the back of the '44

Rear panel is pushed in and the tailgate lock has disappeared inside. Rear light cluster also cracked and will need replacing. Lots of rattling from the rear on the drive home

Only redeeming factor is that the chap waited for me to return to the car and gave me his details

Bad day

Should have watched England beat Scotland in the 6 nations - very enjoyable

Shame 'bout the car mate, pleased that some people ave the decency to own up though - could have been so much worse.

Could have been worse at least he didn't just bogg off! Ensure that is Insurance Co. don't try to write the car off, make them pay for repairs. Certainly DO NOT let them have the V5C or MOT docs.

Really sorry to read of your misfortune Paul - what a crap afternoon.

Hope sorting things doesn't involve too much hassle/expense.

Sorry to hear that Paul, at least the guy was honest or it would have been a whole lot worse.

sorry to hear about this, but as already mentioned at least the chap had the common decency to wait and give you his details

Sorry to hear about that

It's the second time someone has hit the car whilst it has been parked if memory serves me correct

Now for the bright side of things

Saw you on T.V. last night

Match of the Day, in the seson ticket holders seats, just after the equaliser and just before Adrian C and Frank S

You just gotta get out there signing autographs
