Winter's over, days are getting warmer, clouds are getting sparser.

When is the next meeting? I'm bored out of my nuts and want to show off and be shown-off to!

Jon_UK · #2 01-11-2009, 02:36 PM

hello!

Had my Cayman S 2 days now, and this be my first post.

Up for a meet as soon as - the further away the better

Would be keen to hear of any good trackdays or skid-pans / driver days too.

Cheers

You are more than welcome to start suggesting some dates and locations to get a thread rolling. We have had two in the Southern area, normally on a Sunday to allow for a meetup, drive some roads, then stop for Lunch before returning home.

I have not decided on track days yet, but will probably do Castle Combe, maybe Anglese and possibly Oulton or Donington, depending on what Karel and Alan might go to. Still trying to decide if I go back to SPA again this year

Bedford is also a good track for those who are new to track days. Castle combe is good as its run in sessions so max 13-14 cars at any one time.

James...........

The Full Circuit - is Rare to Use - These Days............

I Ran the Full Circuit - 'Formula Ford 1600' In 1972 ..............

The 'Indy Circuit' is Perfect for Caymans, as it is not a - High Power Circuit - So we can 'Mix It' with GT3 Cup Cars.............

However it realises that it must generate revenue - to pay for Stuff.........

Talking with them currently - Looking for a Thursday PM - Look and see the Museum of GP Cars.......... (Maybe a ride on the track too........ Just to see)

Friday - Full Day Open Pit Lane - Track Day...............

I'll vote for some of that. I'm up for anytime/date as well. Preferably not weekend Feb 7-8, because I'll have my missus, and although she, her father, mother and brother rally and sell nissans, she may get a little bored being one woman amidst a dozen males.

**JackWood** · #12 01-13-2009, 06:42 AM

'Ello folks.

Afraid I'm not going to be free for a few weeks for a local meet for local folk.....
Out of the country for the first couple of weeks in Feb, and the next 2 weekends are pretty full already. Sorry.

I fancy Donnington in April. Sounds good to me, Karel. Anyone fancy Anglesey a bit later in the year too? When the sun is set to shine?

OK - Got Information today from the Donington Track Day Organiser - Caroline Blythe...........

1st & 15th March (Both Sundays) are the First Options. Further Dates to be advised in the next 2 weeks................

I am still Discussing Options, To be Honest, Personally, Weekends are not favourite....
I Can Get Away With 'Working Away' Weekdays much easier..............

I Will Go with the Flow - Please Advise your Preferences for Days in the Week....

I Also Prefer Midweek because Yahoo 'Drivers' in Corsas - Don't do Mid-Week...

**Tess Tickle** · #14 01-14-2009, 02:40 AM

I'll do Midweek or whenever suits

**JackWood** · #15 01-14-2009, 03:38 AM

I prefer weekends myself, but if a mid-week suits everyone else, then I could do that.

Fridays always put me off, particularly if it is a hoik down to somewhere south (like Bedford) as the traffic is dire.

If it is a Sunday in March, the 15th is better for me.

Nick · #16 01-14-2009, 05:06 AM

Midweek or Weekend should be ok.

Pint of Brew · #17 01-15-2009, 02:51 AM

I'll attend but not race a track-day. The combination of (1) Porsche Insurance doesn't cover track-days (2) I've only had the car 2000 miles (3) all 2000 of those miles were in the rain/snow/ice means ther's still plenty of learning curve for me.

So what happened to the Bolton meet?

It's got to be a special order Viper Green CS Sport! They retracted the colour before orders were took for it, remember? Only the orange was supposed to be available.

roger frost · #18 01-15-2009, 03:00 AM

Two weeks ago I went passed the Wilmslow OPC and they also had 2 new Cayman S Sports for sale - one in White with black wheels and one in Viper Green

Roger, I asked Bolton had they borrowed the white and green cars from Wimslow and they said No they ordered them......(ball cocks, Porrsche GB sent them I would wager) so it's odd that both Bolton and Wimslow would both have similar cars of the same colour !! ????
